Incredible local authentic tour with best guide Suemi! - This tour was incredible- Suemi took us to amazing places and gave us the best experience. The food & drink was insanely delicious and she made sure everyone had a good time and is taken care of. Suemi goes above and beyond. For example- I lost my phone and she helped me get it back and assisted at the police station!! (Someone actually turned it in!!). Definitely do this tour- you will not regret it!! You will have an authentic local experience that you cannot get with out her! Definitely my favorite day out of my whole trip!

Highly Recommend - Our guide Nanase was fantastic. She was very easy to talk to, made sure everyone’s requests were taken care of, and shared great cultural insights along the way. The tour wouldn’t have been the same without her.

BEST NIGHT IN TOKYO!!!! - This was our favorite night in Tokyo!! It is a MUST do and I highly recommend doing this at the start of your trip. Suemi, our tour guide at the start but close friend by the end, is the perfect combination of knowledgeable and fun. She taught us so much about Tokyo and Japanese culture that we used for the remainder of our time in Tokyo. The places she took us were places we never would have gone on our own which made this a truly unique and worthwhile experience. Suemi, thank you for showing us the reaaaallll Japan and helping us make memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

Suemi - the BEST tour guide in Japan! - Suemi was our tour guide in Tokyo and truly one of the most amazing people we’ve ever met. From the moment we started the tour, she treated us less like clients and more like longtime friends. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine excitement made every moment unforgettable. She is incredibly knowledgeable! Whether it was history, culture, hidden gems, or local tips, Suemi had endless insights to share. She answered every question with patience and enthusiasm, and her passion for Tokyo shined through in everything she did. One moment that truly showed how special she is happened when our friend lost her phone during the tour. We were stressed and worried, but Suemi immediately stepped in, stayed calm, and took charge. She helped us retrace our steps, made calls, and didn’t stop until the phone was found. Thanks to her dedication and kindness, our friend got her phone back. On top of all that, she is just the sweetest person ever. Thoughtful, attentive, and truly invested in making sure we had the best experience possible. By the end of the day, we felt so grateful not just for the tour, but for having met someone as wonderful as Suemi. If you’re visiting Tokyo, do yourself a favor and book a tour with her. She made our trip unforgettable, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. 100/5 stars, she’s that incredible!
