I love walking in the city with no particular plan finding trasures in the streets such as nice ramen noodle restaurants, cafes, funny billboards, and most of all, narrow alleys that remind me of good old days.
I will help you enjoying the days in the city fully and making your vist memorable one.
I am looking forward to seeing you soon.
Available only for more than 7 hour tour.

We had an amazing day with Akira exploring off the beaten path neighborhoods! We wanted someone on the first day of our trip to help us, and he was perfect at teaching us the customs and how to use the subway! The restaurant he took us to was incredible and in a fun area of Tokyo we would have never gone by ourself. He is so knowledgable about Tokyo and answered all of our questions and was patient. I would recommend Akira and would use him again in a heartbeat!
Howdy Nicole, Thank you so much for the great review. I am so glad that you enjoyed the tour focusing more on what I call "Tokyo with No Makeup". It is so nice to see you and your jolly family, including 2 "studs (Am I spelling right?)", enjoying vibes of each of the neighborhoods, local foods, and enjoying exchange with local people that we met today. Thank you so much for treated me like your family's new friend. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. See you next time, and enjoy the rest of the days in Japan. Sincerely, Akira
Our day with Akira for my family of four was excellent. Akira took us to districts and places we would have never gone on our own. His helpful knowledge and stories allowed us to visit Tokyo on our own afterwards with a lot more confidence. Akira was able to modify our plans on the fly as well to accommodate our kids and how they were enjoying the trip. We returned to the places he shared with us a couple times as they were some of the highlights of our trip. Thank you Akira for a great day.

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
