    Hiroko was a very knowledgeable tour guide. She was so sweet and kind explaining how to use the subway system. Also, she told us so much history about Asakusa. She made our first tour in Tokyo exceptional!

    We had the pleasure of having Hiroko Kitagawa as our guide today. She had a plan of where we should go and was very informative. We had a sushi dinner with her and she took us to the restaurant we had suggested. During dinner and our train ride home she continued teaching us much about Japanese culture. I would highly recommend her as a personal guide for all things pertaining to Japan. Ellen Robin
