This was a great tour of Tokyo! Taka was amazing at staying in touch in planning the tour. Taka took us to some of the major shrines and a few different parts of Tokyo where we talked a lot about different customs and Japanese culture. Taka was incredibly friendly and shared a lot of his personal experiences, which made the tour really unique!

Did a tour on our first day in Tokyo, to help us get familiar with the city, a little more comfortable moving around. It was the perfect way to start our trip. We feel incredibly lucky to have had Taka as our guide - he has an amazing energy and was very warm & welcoming. He was very thoughtful in how he put our tour together; asking a lot of questions about what we wanted to see & do, then making sure to customize a tour that catered to our needs. He is very knowledgeable about the city and you can tell he is very passionate about it. Taka was engaging with all members of our family; from my wife & I, but also our kids as well (early 20’s). We enjoyed Taka so much that we ended up meeting him for dinner at his families Korean BBQ restaurant a few nights later
