Fantastic walking tour! - Aki was our tour guide. He was a lot of fun and knowledgeable. We were also able to customize our tour, which was great! Outside of the typical things to see, he showed and shared things that a typical tourist would not know. We had interesting conversations about the differences between Western & Japanese cultures…A great experience!!

Fantastic walking tour in Tokyo!! - We completely enjoyed our day. Aki was our guide and helped us create the tour which was nice. He was very knowledgeable and fun. Outside of the standard sites in Tokyo, he shared many neat areas and buildings that a tourist would never know about. Having a private tour is the way to go. Thank you again, Aki!

Great experience! - Our tour guide at 10 a.m. did not show. I contacted Viator (via What's App) and they connected me to the tour operator Seiji from See Jay Company. I communicated the problem and they offered us several solutions. We chose the same tour with private car, an upgrade from our original tour. Our guide Aki was wonderful. We visited the Godzilla head in Shinjuku. We toured the Meiji Shrine and ate lunch at Yoyogi Park (like the locals). We walked Takeshita Street and he encouraged us take cute anime pictures. Then we walked the streets of Omotesando to view the high end stores. He was willing to pick up our son who arrived during our tour at the HND airport, then dropped us off at the hotel. We had great conversations and learned a lot about the Japanese culture. Aki continued to stay in contact with us during our week in Japan. He helped us book a local sushi restaurant and offered to pick us up from the subway station. I emailed him when my husband fell and needed medical help. He immediately called me and found a orthopedic clinic close to our hotel. We had a wonderful experience with Aki.

Thank you Seiji for the most fun and educational first day in Tokyo - Had the most amazing day with Seiji. So much knowledge and information. Highly recommend at least one day with him. There is no chance we would have been to any of the places without him. A pleasure to spend the day with.
