A Very Personal Tour - Mr. Oku was a very knowledgeable, kind, and patient guide. I can't imagine a better afternoon for a visitor to Tokyo than visiting the many sights and shops that Mr. Oku has developed relationships with. Everywhere we went we found a smile and an open heart. Don't miss out on this special opportunity to visit traditional artists, bakers, specialty, and craft shops. Mr. Oku even makes a special effort to tailor the tour to his guests' specific interests. Thank you!!

Fish market walking tour - We covered a lot of ground across the markets and some nearby temples/shrines which was good. There was not very much food included and when it was it was oddly timed.
