Great local experience in Tokyo - The tour was wonderful because our guide, Kentaro Tsukada, who was excellent. Ken was knowledgeable and very flexible regarding the things we wanted to see besides the itinerary. Ken arranged for us to participate in a tea ceremony and selected restaurants with our meal type preferences. He is easy going and very pleasant, he also took pictures for us. We highly recommend his guide services if you looking for local experience in Tokyo!

Exquisite choice of the best private, fun, unique and a local experience to enjoy Tokyo! - I almost have no words to really describe what happened and how perfect that day went! I was guided and accompanied by Ken the whole time, he was so kind, so thoughtful and friendly. Those traits are most needed by us - the lone and solo traveler - he made sure everything is all smooth for me, from the moment I landed in Japan until the time we met to start the tour and parted our ways. He offered anti-mainstream places and spots to visit in Tokyo. Shibamata is def one of my fave places in the whole trip, it's peacefully quiet in a good way, somehow reminds me of a friendly neighbourhood with authentic snacks to chew on, candies to pick and a 1000/100 rated unagi rice box! (It's def taste from heaven!!) Ken introduced me to spots that have less crowds, so the session became more private and intimate (not that typical loudy-crowdy), he explains everything meticulously too. You won't get bored but you won't be that soul-drained! Sounds just perfect, right? As Ken always makes meaningful conversation and we will gain something from the convos, I've been guided on how to enjoy or do specific Japanese authenticity too, and it's very helpful as it all has enriched my whole journey there! I'm sure that I will be DEFINITELY choose this service AGAIN in the future if I have any plans to visit Tokyo or Osaka! If you plan to have the best experience while visiting Japan, this is your golden ticket. Choose this! Sincerely, Belle! ✨
