My wife and I had only one day to explore Tokyo. We were aware that navigating the intricate network of streets and subways could be a daunting task, so we decided to engage the services of a professional guide. This decision proved to be highly beneficial, as we were able to move effortlessly through each location with an expertly crafted itinerary. We successfully visited every major area we had hoped to see, and even more. I am certain that if we had attempted to explore on our own, we would have only been able to cover a fraction of what we accomplished with the assistance of our guide, Yasuro. It was a genuinely enjoyable experience spending the day with him, and we created some truly remarkable and lasting memories. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Yasuro, who demonstrated thoughtfulness, patience, and kindness throughout the day.
This was a fabulous tour. Having a car during the heat was such a nice luxury! We were able to do so much more. We left our airbnb early so we beat the crowds. Kanae was wonderful supplying drinks and giving inside tips for food and activities. She also was able to give us information on the sites we saw and Japanese life and customs. It was like having a day out with a friend. I would definitely book this tour.
Yoko was tremendously helpful both long before our custom tour and even after! She patiently answered so many questions I had as a first time visitor to Soja City/Kurashiki, Okayama in the weeks before our tour. She set up a taxi driver and helped me navigate Japanese gravesite customs. Someone in the taxi compoany even happened to know my family and where my family's grave was located! Her English is excellent and she is a caring and capable guide that w connected with so easily. Our visit to my family's grave in Soja City was magical for me, my wife, and our daughter and granddaughter. Our granddaughter asked me if she could meet a relative her age. Yoko and the ancestors made that happen. (See picture with two happy 10 year olds, one from the US, one from Soja CIty, Japan). We bid our newly found relatives goodbye and returned to Kurashiki. After a refreshing lunch, we had a wonderful (and cooling!) visit to the Ohara Art Museum and Ohara houses. After our tour, Yoko was once again such a star! My cousin wanted to visit our family grave a couple days after us. Yoko helped arrange a taxi for them and my cousin got to spend additional time with our Soja City relatives! Yoko is such a caring, generous, knowledgable and helpful guide! Words cannot express our deep gratitude to her. Our request was complex and she delivered! We cannot recommend her to you enough!
We had a wonderful day with Toshi. He took us to see the most interesting and famous places in Kyoto, and he also explained the cultural and historical aspects of what he was showing us, as well as aspects of life in general in Japan.
