Wonderful guide - I highly recommend Taka's tour. We had a terrific day. We chatted along the way about Japanese culture as we were professionally escorted through the city. We visited beautiful sights, and were taken through gates and background parts at shrines etc that we would never have found ourselves. Taka is warm and friendly, and was happy to go at our pace, and to personalise our tour

Great private tour of Tokyo - Taka was our guide for this private tour. He was very helpful prior to arriving in Tokyo, giving us suggestions for restaurants and making reservations for us. He is very prompt, professional and personable. We saw Meiji temple, Tsukiji market, Akihabara and Ueno Park. Took us to his favorite ramen restaurant for lunch. Fantastic! Highly recommend

My family had a great experience with Taka - I traveled with a 12 and 16 yr old and we booked two separate tours with Taka. We spent a couple of hours one evening to get a night tour as it's a completely different vibe and photo opportunity. We also spent a full day with him hopping all over, from shopping, to eating, to temples and shrines. I gave him our interests ahead of time and he recommended suggestions and locations to customize. He gave us the highlights and a bit of history along the way as well as showing us things off the beaten path (and took us to an excellent ramen spot). He was very patient and catered to my kiddos with all things anime, cafes, etc. He even took the time with my son, who is very interested in Japanese music, to track down a specific CD he was looking for and I completely trusted him with the care he took of my family. I highly recommend Taka.

Great day spent in Tokyo - We had a wonderful day with our guide Alex who was extremely helpful and such a positive and cheerful person. Extremely accommodative and always willing to help. She made sure that we saw everything we wanted to see as also made sure we got back to the hotel safely even though our tour time was over. Our daughter who is almost 15yrs also enjoyed spending time with Alex. She gave us little Origami animals she had made to end the day. Would highly recommend Alex for anyone looking for a guide in Tokyo.

Walking Tour of Tokyo - Taka was very friendly and he was happy to show us his beloved city. Since we had a limited amount of time, he was able to tailor our tour and maximize our time in this high-energy city.

Mami was brilliant! - We booked a walking tour with Mami,she was a perfect match for us,she spoke perfect English as she was American but knew Tokyo like the back of her hand! She asked what was of interest and took us everywhere we wanted to go and then places we never thought of. Nothing was too much trouble and we had a really enjoyable day in her company,would really recommend this lady.

Fantastic Tokyo tour - Taka was our guide and he was extremely helpful. Excellent communication before arriving in Japan. Helped arrange dinner reservations after the tour. Very knowledgeable and accommodating for our group. We visited Meiji shrine, Takeshita street, Tsukiji fish market, Akihabara and Ueno park to see the cherry blossoms. Had excellent ramen lunch at his favorite restaurant. I highly recommend!

Mami is terrific! She... - Mami is terrific! She customized the day to include our wishlist and added so much more. We wanted to use public transit so she taught us how to get around in Tokyo. Thank you again, Mami!
