FRIENDLY, FUN AND AMAZING TOUR GUIDES - I first met Kota in January and booked his bar-hopping tour around Shinjuku. We went to Omoide Yokocho and Kabukicho and had a really fun time chatting and connecting over our shared experiences in South Africa. Then in February my family came to visit me in Japan so I recommended them to take one of Kota's tours while they were in Tokyo. Kota was nothing less than amazing throughout our tour. He's kind, friendly, funny and made us all feel welcome and relaxed the whole time. His knowledge of Tokyo, as well as his ability to adapt the tour towards our interests, made us feel that our tour was unique and special. After the tour, my family couldn't stop talking about Kota and his tour and they said that it was one of the best decisions that they made while they were in Japan. I highly recommend Kota and Howzit Japan when booking a tour in Tokyo. Kota and the rest of team are serious about making your trip to Tokyo a fun, amazing and unique experience. You won't be disappointed!

Peaceful Sumida - Nanako from Howzit Japan and I spent a relaxing afternoon exploring in Sumida. We went to a small garden with a beautiful pond. The azaleas were on full display and were beautiful! Nanako also took me to see an exhibition of the works of Katsushika Hokusai. Although our visit was brief, I really enjoyed learning a little history on this world renowned artist! Due to my time constraints, our visit was short, but the memories will last a very long time! And all thanks to Nanako! Next time we’ll spend more time exploring your beautiful country.
