We could not have asked for a more perfect first day in Tokyo. Martina is an extraordinary guide and put together an extremely thoughtful itinerary. Lunch was amazing and she took us to a number of gems that we never would have found on our own as well as made some great recommendations for our remaining time in Tokyo. Simply wonderful!!!
