Best memorable experience in Japan - Ryo had made my trip in Tokyo much more memorable with all the hidden places that I would never be able to go on my own. For sure next trip in Tokyo I will reserve him to be my guide again. The Sake Bar experience was the best, thank you Ryo, I had learned a lot more than just drinking 🥰

The best food tour in Japan! With the best photographer! - My husband and I had our honeymoon trip in Korea, and decided visit Japan for couple days, we booked with Ryo and it was the best decision!!! It felt like hanging out with your friend while you discover the beauty of Tokyo and its delicious food~ Ryo is a really nice person, easy to communicate, fun and chill... and he is a pro photographer!! So don't worry about taking the best pictures in Tokyo~ So I really recommend his tours 👌

A Hidden Tour I want to keep for myself :) - My wife and I booked this tour at the last minute and didn't really expect much since it was only a 4-hour tour but to my surprise, there were numbers of "wow" moments during the tour! Our tour guide, Ryo, spoke perfect English and made the environment very welcoming through his jokes and insights about Ginza. Since I come from Korean culture, raw fish known as sashimi isn't a new type of food but I have to say, the restaurant that Ryo took us served very fresh sashimi along with tasty skewers. We even got some freebies from the restaurant! (Also there are quite a bit of drink options. I recommend drinking some Sake!). The total tour took a bit longer than 4 hours because Ryo made sure we enjoy and take our time every stop and took professional photos of us which we will treasure for life. Thanks Ryo!

Amazing experience - Absolutely amazing experience with Ryo! He guided us to countless hidden gems that we would never have discovered on our own. Trusting him completely paid off—we didn't have to spend hours researching, and every place he took us to was fantastic. Highly recommend Ryo to anyone traveling to Japan. Thank you, Ryo!

10/10 Recommend! One of our favorite memories in Tokyo! - My wife and I booked a food tour for our Anniversary. We’d never been to Japan before and wanted a local expert to guide us to experience local culture in a way we would never have been able to on our own. Ryo is a great guy and took us to some incredible spots. Since we took his tour, we’ve recommended him to multiple family and friends—everyone agrees the food tour was a highlight of their trips. Keep it up Ryo!
