Tokyo trip 2025 - Yukou was very accommodating and friendly. He adjusts to our phase (at our age) that really made the tour very private and worthwhile. He is very knowledgeable and speaks very well English which is also a plus for us. Thank you Yukou!!

Shout out to Yuko for being such an amazing guide!! - Joining the Tojyobtour was truly a wonderful experience. Not only did we get to see many different places efficiently, but our guide Yuko, who grew up in the area, shared lots of great local recommendations that you wouldn’t easily find in guidebooks. What touched me the most was at the end of the tour, he kindly said “If you ever need anything, feel free to reach out anytime.” That simple gesture showed such genuine hospitality. It felt like I had made a reliable friend during my stay in Japan. Thanks to Yuko, I’ve come to love Tokyo even more! :)

Perfect morning in Tokyo - An early morning walking let us have a comfortable few hours of tour through the beautiful nature that surrounds the Meiji Jingu shrine with almost no other people around. Our guide was so friendly and wish more people know about Otakuhopper!

100/100 - We joined a tour in Tokyo with OTAKU hopper, and it was an amazing experience! Our guide, Yuko, was not only knowledgeable it also very passionate about Japanese culture and history. The tour was well-organized and I got to explore places I would never found on my own. From iconic temples/shrines to hidden gems in the city, every stop was fascinating. He also shared interesting stories and insider tips, which made the experience even more special!
