Great introduction to Tokyo and Japan - Our first full day in Japan and the Tokyo tour with Steve Sugahara was a great introduction not only to Tokyo but also to the culture and history of the people We visited Meiji Jingu shrine,Senso-ji. Temple and Shibuya crossing Everything went very smoothly with Steve helping us to activate our JR pass He was very professional and made things easy to understand with portable visual aids to illustrate the points he made.

An amazing day in Tokyo - Kappa planned a wonderful day for us. We saw so many beautiful sights, learned about Japanese history, ate an excellent lunch and worked out how to use the rail system. We highly recommend.

Tokyo in a da! - It would be impossible to see a city like Tokyo without an expert Guide. Fortunately, I had Kappa who had the energy and knowledge to get us around through the subway system to each site. She was extremely organized and made sure that I participated in the choices of what to see. Her information on what we were seeing was excellent. It was a fun and informative day (not to mention getting over 20,000 steps!). You'll be fortunate to have Kappa San as your Guide!

Outstanding personal ( 4 people) 8 hour Tokyo tour with Kenji Kasama! - Our tour guide Kenji Kasama was excellent! He developed the 8 hour tour based on our requests and his experience. He was very friendly, likeable , knowledgeable and helpful. We had a wonderful day with him and would highly recommend him! He has spent time in the US and Canada and is fluent in English. He knows the city of Tokyo very well and didn’t over explain the 7 sites we visited in the day.( not like many guides do)

Must do for new travelers - My girlfriend and I took our tour with Chas Yokoi and it was absolutely amazing. It was our first full day in Japan and he gave us an amazing tour of shrines, temples, and gardens all across Tokyo. Not only was he very knowledgeable about everywhere that we went. But he also helped us figure out how to ride the subways and get through the notorious Shinjuku station. We also mentioned we were going to buy green tea after the tour, and because we were a bit ahead of schedule, he took us to his personal recommendation and helped us speak to the staff to figure out what tea was best for us. If you are new to Japan the 8 hours is long, but an absolute MUST. We will be doing another tour whenever we return to Japan. Thank you Chas and JGA for making our first day so memorable!

Wonderful day with our wonderful guide Nori - Our guide Nori was so kind and helpful. We had previously been to Tokyo back in 2018 but this was our mom’s first trip to Japan. We opted for the private tour for efficiency. Our mom loved Nori and the tour. Although my sister and I had already been to the major sightseeing spots, the historical details and additional information Nori provided during the tour also made the second time to the same places so much more enjoyable than when we had come on our own. Thank you Nori for the wonderful day you planned out!

Great walking tour of Tokyo - My sister and I took our mom to Japan on her first trip there. My sister and I were in Tokyo a few yrs back and had previously seen most of the more popular sightseeing spots but decided to get a private tour for efficiency this time around with our mom. Our guide Nori was wonderful. She was so accommodating and flexible during the tour. She was also very efficient with getting us from each location, always aware of the schedule of trains and buses. We loved all of the historical details she provided at each location, although my sister and I had already seen some of these sights, all of the additional information she provided made revisiting them so much more enjoyable than our first time by ourselves. Highly recommend this tour!!
