A Memorable Trip to Japan - I had a 5-day trip planned with my daughter, and I received excellent assistance in organizing the whole itinerary. As a single father, this was my first time traveling with my daughter. Despite reaching out just a week before the trip, they explained each step clearly and arranged everything for us. What made me happiest during our stay in Japan was seeing so many smiles from my daughter. It will be a while before we can return to Japan, but when we do, I will definitely book this private tour again. With deep respect for our amazing guide, Kei.

Anime-Inspired Hair, Figures, and Pancakes.A Perfect Tokyo Day! - I had a fantastic private tour in Tokyo! First, I got an anime-inspired hairstyle at a stylish salon in Omotesando. Then, I visited Akihabara and picked up some amazing figures. The day ended with delicious pancakes at a cozy cafe. A perfect mix of fashion, anime culture, and great food. Highly recommended!

Great arrangement and smooth trip - I had an amazing experience during my private tour in Tokyo, visiting Tokyo Disneyland, teamLab, and the Tokyo Skytree. Our guide was incredibly helpful and made the whole trip stress-free by arranging all the tickets in advance. This thoughtful gesture allowed us to enjoy each attraction without any delays or worries. Tokyo Disneyland was magical, teamLab was a mesmerizing blend of art and technology, and the views from the Skytree were breathtaking. I truly appreciate the excellent service and organization. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Tokyo!

A tour you should book on your first day in Tokyo. - We, as a couple, signed up for a 4-hour tour. Since we really wanted to enjoy Japanese alcohol, we asked to be introduced to places where we could sample a wide variety of sake and whiskey. Our guide, Sakura, who is very knowledgeable about alcohol, took us on the tour. She was so unique and funny, saying, "My hobby is drinking, and my blood is made of alcohol," which made us laugh and helped us connect with her immediately.
We visited two places, one full of sake and the other with whiskey. At these locations, we could taste different kinds of alcohol at affordable prices in shot glasses, and also choose the best way to enjoy each drink in its optimal state.
Sakura didn't just explain the drinks; she also shared a lot of useful information and etiquette for us, since it was our first time visiting Japan. The next day, at a restaurant, we were complimented by the chef who asked, "How do you know that!?" He was very pleased that tourists knew about Japanese etiquette.
If you're thinking about booking this tour, I highly recommend doing it on your first day. Because if you meet such a wonderful guide on the last day of your trip, you'll surely regret not having met her earlier and experienced more of the tour.

A Day of Discovery - Today, I took part in a private guided tour of Tokyo and had a truly rewarding day. We started by learning about Japanese traditions at Sensoji Temple, then explored the latest electronic gadgets and anime culture in Akihabara. For lunch, we enjoyed authentic sushi, followed by a visit to Shibuya and Harajuku to experience Tokyo's vibrant youth culture. Finally, we strolled through the peaceful streets of Ginza, rediscovering the city's diverse charm. The tour was incredibly satisfying, thanks to our guide's detailed explanations and insightful guidance.

I entered the world of anime - The private guide tour in Tokyo was truly an amazing experience! The first stop was a maid cafe, where it felt like stepping into an anime world. The staff were incredibly kind, and I had a great time surrounded by what felt like anime characters. The atmosphere of the cafe was unique, offering an immersive and fun experience that was truly out of the ordinary.
Next, we went to a yakiniku restaurant where we enjoyed the best wagyu beef. The quality of the meat was exceptional, and each bite was tender and juicy, melting in my mouth with deliciousness. I left feeling both full and content, completely satisfied.
The tour ended at a unique "muscle bar," where muscular staff members prepared cocktails and drinks with entertaining performances. It was full of fun and laughter, especially the impressive cocktail-making show.
Our guide was also very friendly and shared so many interesting spots and hidden gems of Tokyo. This tour gave me a deep and memorable insight into the city, and I’ll never forget these amazing experiences. I would definitely love to join again next time!

My best japan trip!🇯🇵 - I’m really glad I took part in this tour. It was our first family trip, and thanks to the guide and the planning team, we were able to see the highlights of Tokyo in such a short time. They treated me like a friend throughout the tour. Most importantly, I’m happy to have made Japanese friends. When they visit my home country, I’d love to show them around. I’d give this tour 10 stars!

Customized tour with fashion and food - This private tour was a wonderful experience to fully enjoy Tokyo's fashion and gourmet food. Our guide, Riko, was very kind and suggested a course that suited my tastes.
First, on the fashion side, I was really excited to be able to visit the latest shops in Shibuya, Omotesando, and Harajuku, checking out local designers and exclusive items. I was able to experience Japan's unique street fashion and simple, elegant designs, and was able to reaffirm the appeal of shopping that can't be experienced anywhere else.
Next, for the gourmet part, we visited hidden gems and locally acclaimed restaurants. The fresh sushi, the exquisite ramen, and even the Japanese sweets were all delicious beyond my expectations. The guide also explained the background of the dishes and food culture in detail, so we were able to enjoy the meal even more.
Overall, it was a very fulfilling day as we not only visited famous tourist spots but also got to experience the local culture. These private tours are attractive because they can be arranged to suit your personal needs, allowing you to have an experience that is a little different from other tourists. Also, I would like to participate next time!
