I had an incredible authentic experience. Taka was a phenomenal guide. He taught me about the history of the places we visited as well as the local customs and traditions.

We had a fabulous tour with our guide Taka! He was very responsive as we communicated about our plans in advance of our trip. He picked us up promptly at our hotel the day of our tour, which was also our first full day in Japan. He showed us how to get Suica cards for the trains. We spent a gorgeous morning and afternoon in Asakusa, exploring Sensoji and the markets around it, the Sumida River Walk and Skytree. Taka was so friendly and shared so much about Japanese culture with us. At the end of the tour, we ate lunch at a restaurant on the river. Taka also kept in touch with us after the tour while we were still in Japan to give us additional tips. We highly recommend this tour and especially Taka! Thank you!

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!
