Amazing Tour Experience - Went by myself with Nobu! It became a solo tour after I was the only one who booked. I had little idea of what east Tokyo was like before it began and I feel like I know a lot more about the culture and the traditional goods made there. She was so in depth and we even made some extra stops at museums to learn about some of the items. Definitely one of the best ways to start my trip in Tokyo. Thank you Nobu!!
