I have lived in Saitama just outside of Tokyo for many years. I love the bustle of Tokyo but also love getting out of the city into the nature or less known places. One of the things I love about Tokyo is one minute you can be walking through some of the most modern places in the world and two minutes later you could stumble upon a one hundred year old shrine or temple. One of the best things about Japan in general is of course the food. From the crazy rainbow food in Harajuku to the high-end sushi of Ginza, there really is something that anyone can enjoy. Tokyo/Saitama and Kanagawa all have an array of museums and sightseeing places. I love visiting Yokohama Chinatown as it reminds me of my time traveling in China, and you can also pick up some fantastic food here! If you have a particular niche museum interest, it’s likely you will find it in Japan! I am from Cumbria in the UK therefore I love nature and one of my favourite places is Mt Takao. Whatever your interests are, you will find something that makes you say ‘wow’ when visiting Japan

My reviews

    I did the 8 hour Tokyo tour with Lauren and it was amazing! Everything I'd hoped to see was accommodated, and we even managed to knock some items from my list I didn't know I'd have time for. it was an unforgettable day without wasting precious hours figuring out how to navigate the trains and metro. Lauren was an excellent guide, but it felt more like running around the city with a friend. I couldn't imagine accomplishing even one activity alone- but having a guide who knows exactly where to go and what to do maximized every moment I spent here. I will absolutely cherish my brief time in Tokyo and wouldn't hesitate to book again!

    There is no way I could have figured out and then navigated to everything I wanted to see on my own in such a short time. Lauren helped me accomplish every item on my wish list (and even things I didn't realize I'd have the time or ability to accomplish!) It was like traveling with a friend and I couldn't imagine not reaching out to her again if I'm ever back in town. She said her activities usually don't involve so many different areas of Tokyo- and we even made some stops to places she'd never been before, but she found them with ease. She made all the difference, I would have lost precious time spinning in circles! Thank you, Lauren, this was such an incredible experience!

    I had a lovely day, and I hope I didn’t chat too much. I saw all I wanted to see and felt very comfortable with you. It’s good to be home as I had a very hectic busy time but loved every moment .
