Kuni was great at maintaining communication and arrived early to our meeting. The itinerary was varied and unique. We enjoyed each of the bars we visited. This was for my husband because I do not drink. But, I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere of each of our stops. Thank you, Kuni for another fun night in Shinjuku.
Yurikosan is very dependable and clever guide. She took care of us - 3 people and explained history of prefecture, Sharakawago village and Japan. I would recomend her to my frend.
I highly recommend this tour! Everything was amazing and the tour guides are so friendly and helpful! It was our first time to experience Stand up paddle but they taught and supported us to enjoy SUP! The sea was much more beautiful at the sunrise spot than the beachside! We enjoyed snorkeling there too! We really appreciate the hospitality and precious experience!
Thank you Chigusa! I had great time being on tour with you both. You guys are so nice and energetic. Looking forward to meeting you again in Da Nang
Kahoko led our party through an amazing 7 hour tour of West Tokyo. We could not thank her enough by the end of the day (24,000 steps!). My daughter planned key sites that she thought her 10 year old daughter would appreciate in the Shinjuku district, so we worked with Kahoko to formulate an efficient itinerary for a one day tour. Kahoko has experience in the service industry and is quite comfortable leading adults and children. She spoke clearly and understandably in English, paying attention to our every need, including our 10 year old's, making sure we all felt included and engaged. We met in the Hilton Shinjuku. After she made sure we had all our supplies: a hat, water and suntan lotion, we left for the subway on time. The outside temperature was about 35C (over 95F), with high humidity so we had to be prepared with the right clothing as well. Kahoko brought us ICOCA cards, which are cash cards like SUICA except these have English instructions for reloading money. Getting on and off the subway with these cards is very smooth and efficient. The cards can also be used on trains and in stores, like 7-11. We used over 1000 yen in one day traveling on the subway. Kahoko made us feel very comfortable throughout, herding us into the shade where possible and ensuring we drank enough water. She also watched the clock to keep us on our timetable, with sufficient time to visit each site. She preplanned a Shabu Shabu lunch, which involves cooking thin slices of beef and veggies in a hot pot. Reservations are a must. We hit all the hot spots including Shibuya crossing, Shibuya sky, Shinjuku including the 3D cat billboard, Harajuku, Takeshita street, the statue of Hachiko, the Meiji Jingu shrine and Omotesando street. A few other pointers. Papago is an outstanding app that translates about 20 languages (Japanese too) both in writing and speech. You must bring a garbage bag, toilets are very clean and bring a portable phone charger. Thank you for a great tour, Kahoko!
Thank you very much for the kind review! I am so impressed with you to give viewers such helpful and supportive information. Probably, they will have a better time in Tokyo with your advice because it's still very hot here even though it is already in September. I had such a lovely time with a terrific family like you. Every member has a wonderful character and ready to enjoy every occasion, so I just enjoyed every moment with you. As it was a very hot and humid day, you must have been quite tired , but nobody showed any shade of it, even your adorable granddaughter. It's not common and easy thing for most people. After the tour, I was wondering how your rest of the tour and your lecture was going. I am sure that it must have been great and successful. I never forget your kindness and hope your family's happiness. Please take care and come back to Tokyo again. Thank you, doc !!
