Interesting route, just what we requested. Found unusual places of interest to us. Knowledgeable and answered our questions. Lovely person to talk to. Great coffee stop and noodles lunch.

My tour in Tokyo with Ryoko was nothing short of amazing! I signed up for 10 hours with Ryoko to try to explore the city as much as possible! We went to so many amazing places and walked a total of 15 miles (I asked for this, your tour will probably be more relaxed.) This was my first ever tour in this amazing country and Ryoko made it so personalized and individual I couldn’t ask for more. Ryoko was very on top of my itinerary and had it made and ready to go days in advance. Ryoko made me feel very comfortable the entire time and I would book again with her in a heartbeat!

Ryoko was absolutely amazing! I only had 36 hours in the city, so decided last minute to book a private tour - and it was the right decision 100%! She made sure to show me everything I wanted to see, and also found several additional sites (and shops!) to visit. It was like seeing the city with a friend. Would highly recommend!

Ryoko was our tour guide for a children's tour in Japan. This was the first time our family of 5 (3 children ages 6, 4, and 2) did an organized tour with a tour guide. Ryoko did such a wonderful job with our kids. She planned the day excellently with fun activities for our kids and even had a little bit of time for my wife and I to just chat while she played with the kids at one of our fun activities. She took us to explore the Odaiba area and a wonderful animal cafe to explore. Thank you Ryoko for the wonderful experience!
