Our guide was a most informed and intelligent lady who provided an impressive amount of information, anecdotes, and history about Tokyo . She patiently answered all our questions in a respectful and knowing way. Takako’s manner was warm, friendly and relaxed. We never felt rushed; everything was explained and shown smoothly and knowledgeably. Our lunch was in an amazing underground restaurant whose food was beautifully prepared, and its ambience suited its proximity to the fish market and nearby market laneways. We had a great time.
My partner and I had a wonderful tour with Akira. We visited the Imperial Palace gardens, walked through local neighborhoods, and had fresh drip coffee from independent shop Aoyama Coffee Roaster. We had a great local lunch, visited a local ceramics store, and concluded with the freshest fruit from the local market. Akira was a great host - we appreciated sharing his personal perspective on Japanese history, culture, and customs. It was one of the highlights of our trip, and we highly recommend a tour with Akira. Get off the tourist trail, and see more of the real Tokyo. Thanks Akira!
Dear Oliver, Thank you so much for the great review. I am so happy that you enjoyed the tour. Your (and Viviana's) kind, generous, and sincere behavior brought you all the great things that we experienced that day, especially when we exchanged with local people whom I love. I will let them know that you two had a real great time and I am sure that they will be pleased. I tried to add more personal and human touch on this tour as much as I could and I am so happy that it worked and you liked it. Thank you so much for letting me be myself and I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira

Kazumi gave my family an outstanding tour of Hiroshima. We got a good feel of the city and sites in a short amount of time. Kazumi is kind, pleasant, and knowledgeable. We all enjoyed spending time with her and learning about the city's history together. Kazumi took us to Miyajima Island where we visited the Torii Gate, Itsukushima Shrine, and Daishoin Temple. Then we took the ferry back to the city where we saw the Atomic Bomb Dome, Peace Park and Peace Museum. Kazumi was helpful in prioritizing what to visit during our short stay in the city. She is easy to talk to and was a pleasure to spend time with. We highly recommend Kazumi as a tour guide!
