Hello there! My name is Megumi, and I am very excited and honored to be a local host and very grateful to have the chance to show you guys around my beautiful country, Japan, and its must-visit city, Tokyo! I grew up outside of Tokyo, called Gunma (which is famous for hot springs, skiing, etc. I can arrange a short trip if you are interested!) and spent 6 years working in a multicultural environment in the middle east and came back to Japan in 2020 and live in Tokyo since then. I am very passionate about food and love to find good places to eat (regardless of the price and genre) and share the experience with people! So if you are looking for hidden gems restaurants or places that you can hardly find in a guidebook, come along with me and let's make your Japan trip memorable filled with good food, and lots of smiles!
Fantastic all day tour of Tokyo. Megumi had a great plan which took us both to “classic” tour sites but also a dive into Japanese food and culture at restaurants and temples. She was personable thoughtful and fun. Loved it.

Today was a special day for us. A short and enjoyable bus and train ride away from the bustle of Tokyo Central lies the beautiful and charming town of Kamakura. After a short stroll through the streets under a light drizzle, we let our senses wander to eternity and back in the soothing and peaceful presence of nature in the wonderful gardens of Takuma and the Hokokuji temple. Three stops away from Kamakura lies Hase, where we admired the statue of Buddha and stopped for coffee and an inspiring chat with Megumi, our guide and the most charming person there is. Thank you! Margarida and Miguel

Excellent tour company, has the awesome idea of pairing you or your private group with a local expert to explore any aspect of your destination at any level desired. I wanted to explore foods in Tokyo and learn about the Japanese culture, but was way beyond an intro to ramen or udon or tempura and dislike sweet foods. I wanted to talk about dining customs and explore deeper into the culinary specialties of Tokyo and Japan. Megumi, my “tour guide” seemed like an old friend whom I was cathing up with, but who was able to recommend restaurants and dishes to try. She was extremely flexible, patient, knowledgeable, communicative and helpful, a great Tokyo ambassador. She never gave the feeling of “look how much I know” or had rehearsed lines that she had repeated hindreds of times. She really took the time to understand what I wanted from the experience and then delivered it expertly. 10/10, would repeat with this company without hesitation. Do yourself a favor and do away with following someone holding an umbrella, dragging you through stops that aren’t right for you. Tailor your experience to exactly what you are looking for, time is our most valuable asset, especially when travelling!

Megumi was a delight and so informative about food and culture in Tokyo. She took us to several local dining spots and we sampled as many foods as we could drink as well as Matcha and sake. She spoke perfect English for anyone concerned about translation. Megumi also helped us get reservations in restaurants and helped with recommendations for later in our trip.
