Day and Night in Shinjuku, Meiji shrine and Takeshitadori in Harajuku, Crossroads in Shibuya, Imperial Palace in the center of Tokyo, High brand shopping street in Ginza, Several Museums and quiet Forest in Ueno and Oldfashioned Nakamise and Sensoji temple in Asakusa.

Since I 've already done bus tour guide several times for H.I.S. and JTB, I can take care over 10 people at the same time around Tokyo using public transportation.

4 days with Nao san

If you’re looking for something with perfect English who understands everything you say, then Nao is not for you. But if you’re looking for an excellent guide who will make your dream itineraries come true, then Nao san is for you. Nao is professional, flexible, and knowledgeable. He worked very hard so that I could see everything on my list in Tokyo, and even took us somewhere we didn’t expect: who knew there was a Statue of Liberty by Tokyo Harbor?!! The Tokyo National Park was closed when we got there, and he came back to Tokyo the next day to take us there. That’s above and beyond! In Nikko, he checked the boat schedule so that we had the time to see everything, and again, he made everything fit into our day. Thank you, Nao san, for an unforgettable expérience!

Nao K.

Dear Kelly san I could feel releaved that you could enjoy my trip in Tokyo and Nikko. Thanks to you, I could know new sightseeing spots and broaden my horizons. Take are and cheers! Thanks. Nao

Informative and fruitful trip to Nikko

Nao san was incredibly well-prepared for the tour, with in-depth knowledge about every location I visited. He made sure to get restaurant reservation and checked through any food allergies. His easy-going personality made the entire experience enjoyable and relaxed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and friendly guide – I definitely book with him again!

Dear Gerald san Thank you very much for your comment on my tour and how you felt my tour. Your comment encouraged me to work harder as tour guide and I am looking forward to seeing you again. Nao

Unforgettable Experience in Tokyo, Nikko and Mount Fuji.

Thank you, Nao for Unforgettable Experience! We booked 3 tours with Nao and we had wonderful time during each tour. This was our first visit to Japan, and we were very lucky to have Nao as our tour guide to show as around the Tokyo, Nikko and Mount Fuji. Nao was very organized and detailed oriented. He customized, planned and communicated every little detail of our tours as we requested. It was a great way to see and explore these parts of Japan. Nao was very kind, friendly and funny. He even helped us to figure out and get the best rout and the tickets for our next destination. I will highly recommend Nao as a tour guide.

Nao K.

Dear Anna san Thank you very much for your kind comments on my tour. Your message really encourages me to work harder as a tour guide and make it better in the future. Thank you. Nao
