Tokyo Food and Cultural Tour - My son and I had Minnie as a guide and really enjoyed the trip. Minnie emailed in advanced, texted on WhatsApp in days prior and met us hotel lobby for a six hour food and cultural tour during which we visited temples, both food markets (we ate excellent sushi at second one as auction closed early in morning), Buddhist fire ritual, sake tasting, cultural museum and urban garden. Minnie was flexible with itinerary both with means of travel (we preferred subway, though also took one bus and one taxi), and really seemed to be a good fit for us. I found the cost of tour to be very reasonable - ours did not include entrance fees, meals and transportation which worked out well for us. One suggestion is to do something like this early during visit as the food education helps for the rest of holiday.

Wonderful experience with Michio Akutsu san - Thank you so much, Michio Akutsu san! Our family of 4 (teenage son and his younger sister) had a wonderful time exploring the hidden gems of Tokyo. Michio san walked us through the high level overview of Japan history to understand the places we plan to visit. His sushi lunch recommendation was delicious! We loved it so much! Michio was very patient and accommodating with various activities during the day. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to experience Japan with local guide!

Another Great Private Tokyo Tour by Japan Guide Agency - From the very beginning, Japan Guide Agency was very professional and prompt in answering my emails and questions. Therefore, we booked 2 tours with the company and have no regrets. Guide: Shozo Nitta “Show” We booked a 6 hour tour to Tsukiji Fish Market. Show met us in our hotel lobby, and we started our tour by walking across to the Shibuya train station. We were able to purchase different types of tea, taste sashimi and other snacks at the market. We visited a knife store where my husband purchased a knife and requested it be mailed home. We also went to a very large electronics store. At the end of the tour, Show took us back to the Shibuya train station where we had a light snack before walking back to our hotel. A month after we return home, we realized we did not receive the knife we purchased. We decided to wait a bit longer knowing that international shipping and customs can be tricky with certain items. However, when it was clear that the knife was not coming, I attempted to reach out to the store via their website that is all in the Japanese language. I reached out via email to Show and asked for his assistance in contacting the store and following up on the purchase. Show contacted the store and sent emails translating their response. Apparently, the knife was never sent. The store advised that they would send out another immediately and within 2 weeks of my first email to Show we received the knife. We are so grateful for Show’s professionalism and help and would highly recommend Japan Guide Agency and Show for Tokyo private tours.

Tokyo tour guide - Goreilo’s San was our guide for a visit to the old fish market in Tokyo. He was in touch with me before I arrived in Japan and messsged me and kept us informed with regard to his arrival at our hotel. Ge was very friendly and very informative and we had a really pleasant day with him. We enjoyed spending time with him and highly recommend him.

Tokyo: private city highlights tour - Naoko was a great tour guide! She was very attentive and was able to accommodate to the things I had asked for. She was also able to adjust the schedule based on the weather. She was also very responsive and created an itinerary that was based on what I had suggested. Would highly recommend

Tokyo with Ken Takahashi - March 7, 2024 my wife and me met Mr Ken Takahashi at our Tokyo hotel. We reviewed our tour and opted to see Toyo’s Market, Tsukiji Fish Market and Senso-ji Temple and added Idemitsu Museum of Arts instead of the shopping areas. It was a cold wintery day. Ken is an excellent navigator getting through Tokyo’s maze of trains, buses and subways to our spots of interest. We had a nice introduction to Tokyo and its history with Ken’s knowledge. I would go with Ken again because He was well prepared for our journey and answered our questions plus gave us insight into the Japanese way. Frank&Norma

1st time in Tokyo - As we only have 2 days in Tokyo so we decided to book a private tour with JGA tour. We had a pleasant tour around Imperial Palace East Side garden, Asakusa and Akhihabara given by Meiji. Meiji also recommended some nice Japanese snack/ sweet near the temple, and Japanese lunch to us. We have enjoyed the tour and it did save us some time navigating the route in Tokyo to see the sites in 6 hours.

Culture tour in Tokyo - Excellent tour curated by our guide. Saw parts of Tokyo we never would have thought to go to. We were thoroughly pleased with the whole experience

Immerse yourself in tokyo - Show was great and was happy to amend the plan based on the fact that the city was so busy. He was great with our kids as well

Good - Mia was fantastic. She was so organised. She gave us 3 - 4 options to pick and choose from. The new fish market can be a bit of experience given they don't allow to go into the actual fish market. But it was worth going there just to have sushi which was amazing.
