Great experience with Ken! - Ken was such a great guide who took us to places we’d never find on our own, places that locals seemed to be in. He explained the culture and the food we ate. We were a family with teens so the places he picked also catered to them. He was smart, kind and a joy to hang out with.

Feeling Like a Local - Yosuke became a friend in just a few hours. He
explained all that we would be doing and checked to make sure there wasn’t anything missing before leading us through Shinjuku like a native. He talked with us so comfortably and made recommendations at each stop, but left all of the choices up to use. We loved everything about the night, but especially feeling as if we were experiencing it with a friend from Japan.

Great experience! - This tour was fantastic!!! Ken did an awesome job from beginning to end. The communication was perfect to make sure we found him at the time of meet up and perfect to understand throughout because his English was great. I was traveling with my son and he made sure to include things that would appeal to him within the tour also. With Ken’s friendly and welcoming spirit, I would absolutely do this again with he and his company.

Great Tour with Yosuke - Our family had an incredible food and Izakaya tour with Yosuke. He took us to hidden local spots and an all-you-can-eat snacks bar that our 15 years old son loved. Yosuke customized the tour just for us, ensuring we had a unique and delightful experience. His charm and knowledge made it an unforgettable evening.
