Great guide

We had a great day touring Tokyo with Kahoko today. She was very knowledgeable and showed us around many areas of the city. She also gave us tips on using the train system and recommended places to visit on our other days in Tokyo. She also took us to a great restaurant for lunch and recommended other restaurants for our stay here. We would definitely recommend her to anyone thinking a tour!

Kahoko K.

Thank you very much for the kind and prompt review ! I was highly impressed with your distant-walking ability. We walked about 10k today, but you seemed no problem at all ! I am sure that you will enjoy the rest of your trip energetically. I just hope you a safe and pleasant journey until you come back to Canada. Thank you very much again and take care!

Thoughtful trip around Tokyo

Kahoko was a thoughtful guide that took the time and effort to hand craft a itinerary catered to my family including a 2 year old child. She was very helpful, knowledgable, and friendly. My whole family (including my 2 years old girl) loved having her as guide. Thank you Kahoko!

Kahoko K.

Thank you very much for the kind and prompt review! You are making such a terrific family! I really had a great time with you all. I was so impressed to hear that your mom runs every day. She looked totally no problem with 5 miles walking tour. CoCo is a wonderful and smart toddler. You two are warm and thoughtful parents. Probably, your new baby will be a lucky child having such a good family. I just hope your happy future. Tomorrow is a big day. Enjoy!!

Outstanding Guide can’t recommend Kahoko enough

Not only did she tailor make an itinerary that was outstanding covering everything we wanted to see and even more. The tour ran like clockwork. Her English is perfect. She organised for us to visit the old Tokyo village and a fire ceremony which was one of the highlights of our trip. Such a lovely lady, easy to talk to and unbelievable knowledgeable and responsive. She took tons of photos of my husband and myself which was a thoughtful added extra.

Kahoko K.

Thank you very much for the kindest review! As you would have a full-slot tours after mine, having some relaxing and private tours might have been good for you. I just enjoyed memorable time with a terrific couple like two of you. Even though we were under the record-breaking heat, you were always cheerful and ready to enjoy the every experience. I really appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness. Such lovely and full-of- laughter time gave me another motivation to my job. I hope you will come back someday. Until then, please stay fit and healthy. Take care!

Fun and cheerful personality

Before arriving in Tokyo, Kahoko helped us choose an hotel close to transportation. Kahoko met with us, as scheduled, at our hotel. Map in hand, she explained the train and Subway service. She had purchased ICOCA cards for our travelling on different train options. We reimbursed her the pre-charged cards ans she also showed us how to add more funds to it. She is very friendly and will adjust the schedule to your personal interest. We visited the Tokyo Skytree, Sensoji temple, had a delicious ramen lunch and then, walked through the Imperial gardens, and shopped in Ginza. We will be using her guide skills again tomorrow night as we do a night tour with dinner. Thank you Kahoko, we are forever greatful for your help in visiting Tokyo.

Kahoko K.

Thank you very much for the kind review! As there was a long way , I mean worries, before we actually met. I felt just relieved. The tour was simply pleasant for me thanks to your cooperation and positive attitude even though it was still a hot day. We walk more than 7k on just after arrival day ! Probably, you are enjoying relaxing right now. I am very much looking forward to seeing you tonight! See you soon!
