I booked a short guided tour in Tokyo, and had the pleasure to work with Yu! I had a great time, and Yu would go to great lengths to explain everything, and went over and beyond in showing us around Meiji Shrine and Harajuku!

Yuko completely customized our tour to focus on our area of interest. She gave us great historical insights and cultural ones too. She took us to a very authentic stand up Sake bar and helped us to sample two kinds of Sake. She also provided us with very practical help around other sights to see and how to navigate the very confusing subway, metro, train situation.

Yuko reached out weeks in advance with a suggested itinerary which made me feel confident we would be well taken care of. Ahead of time and during the tour, she engaged with us to modify the plan based on our interests and needs. She brought visuals and stories that brought history to life for us and also gave us a chance to experience today’s pop culture, food, etc. we had a great time hearing about life in Tokyo from her and she was easy and fun to be with. Finally, she followed up with links to great restaurants and entertainment for us to use during our trip- many of which we tried and enjoyed after the tour. Thanks, Yuko!
