★Please note that cherry blossom viewing can only be seen during the cherry blossom season - Daienji Temple - In the middle of the 18th century, fire broke out from this temple and Edo became a sea of fire. As a result, it was not allowed to be rebuilt until the end of Edo. After that, it was newly built as a condolence for those who died in the Edo fire

Get your camera ready - Terry is the man for this tour. He knows a lot about nature and can answer any question you have about Japanese culture. He is smart, English proficient. I highly recommend Tokyo Terry aka TT. If you want to take a break away from all the city lights and noise, book this tour. The end of this tour is the icing on the cake, get your cameras ready.

Beautiful Blossoms - Great way to see blossoms in mass flowing over a river. Also the information the guide gave about the area was very informable. Also he had a very good sense of humor and very personable.

Dreamy Cherry Blossom Tour - Let me start off by saying that Terry was awesome! THE GUIDE: He was so friendly and so funny!!! Knowledgeable about the area, Terry kept the tour on track but we never felt rushed. He took pics of us whenever we asked and took some with his camera as well. He was very warm and personable. THE BLOSSOMS: Tail end of the blossom season but we knew that going in. Using my imagination and other images that I have seen, I could almost visualize everything in full bloom and magnificent. THE TOUR: That being said, the pick up spot was centrally located and easy to find. The drop off location was relatively close to the rail. Easy enough to find with his directions. THE REST: the walk was a moderate distance, picturesque, full of sights to see, and not swamped with people, tourist or otherwise. Mostly people walking their dogs along the waterway. We even ran into a couple of Japanese actors shooting a scene. Didn't recognize him or her lol but accidentally got a good pic of his shoes (didn't want to look like too much of a tourist! LOL). BTW Terry's English was perfect. In closing, I would like to give a huge shout out to Terry and thank him once again. I highly recommend this tour even though our timing wasn't ideal. I can just imagine the splendor.

Overall a great walking tour to see cherry blossoms along the river in beautiful weather - This was one of the first tours I went on in Tokyo for our first day and first time in Japan. I was traveling with my teenage daughter and this Walking Tour Cherry Blossoms Along the Meguro River was really great. Terry was our tour guide and he spoke English. He would speak to the group, take pictures, and ask us if we had any questions about Tokyo so it was very helpful having him as a guide. Also, he gave ur a Tour Guide of Tokyo which really helped for our first time. It gave very useful information. Although the cherry blossoms had already reached its peak and they were very few in that area it was still an enjoyable walk and we did get some good pictures with the cherry blossom trees that we came across. Overall, I would do this tour again.

Meguro river Tokyo night cruise with KKday - don’t bother. - I booked the river boat cruise for March 29 for our group of 5 - the company was KKday - they confirmed the booking and I paid the full amount for the experience. Within seconds I received an email stating they had cancelled the cruise and would refund the full amount within 10 working days - with no further explanation. A very poor experience and be wary.

Viator will be hearing from me and potentially attorney. - Worst experience with this last tour. Up until then they had been great. The resolution was awful and I will be contacting them to further dispute the issue.
