Akira-san was a great guide. We reorganized our agenda somewhat on the fly due to rain and were able to see the sites that were most important to us. He helped us get well acquainted with the public transport system (which is a better way to see how Tokyo operates) and was knowledgeable and a delight to spend time with. We would highly recommend Akira to both first timers and repeat visitors. Domo Akira-san
Domo domo Chris-san, Thank you so much for the great review. It was my pleasure to guide you and your wonderful family in happy holiday vibes. We have just covered popular sights, so maybe we can visit places of local neighborhoods next time. I’m looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Dewa-mata Akira
We had an excellent time with Akira. His customized tour was perfect to fit our interest. We not only were able to visit two major temple and shrines, but also experienced off the beaten path places and experience some local culture. Thanks for making our tour so special. Your insights were priceless.
Hello Natasha, Thank you so much for the great review. It makes me smile when I see the pictures that I took at the fruit shop on that day. You enjoyed exchanging with locals (yes, the real one) and enjoyed local fruits including some treats from the grandma from the shop. Happy smiles and laughters are roaming in the place. Thank you so much for another moment to make me feel that I am so happy to be a guide. I hope you enjoy the rest of your Japan trip. See you next time! Akira
Akira was great: experienced and knowledgable and very accommodating, highly recommend!
Dear Aaron, Thank you so much for the great review. You and Matt were great. I’m looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira
When my family started planning our trip, our friends recommended their tour guide, Akira. I’m glad that we booked with him. Our first full day in Tokyo was one of two days booked with Akira, and heavy rain was forecasted. Akira reached out a few days before arrival to ask if we wanted to move our two-day tour out a day since he could accommodate it, and it worked out great. Akira is very knowledgeable about Tokyo regarding history, navigation, and food. He showed us how to navigate the transit system and suggested great places for lunch. We got to try Okonomiyaki (Japanese cabbage pancake) and ramen with chicken. Akira showed us the neighborhood where the locals live in addition to Al the attractions. Akira made our family trip memorable
Dear Julie Thank you so much for the great review. I was so lucky that the Wednesday was my day off. Good things happens to good people like you and your wonderful family. I’m so happy that we all had great times in peaceful atmosphere in perfect weather. Thank you so much for having me as not only just a guide but as a friend or a good neighbor. It is always my pleasure and joy to know and work for people like you, Erin, and Ian. If you have another chance to come back to Tokyo, just let me know. I’m looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira
