Exceptional experience

Ishida Katsuya provided an exceptional experience in Tokyo. His pre-tour questionnaire helped to tailor our itinerary based on our preferences. Additionally, he asked our preferences for sightseeing and transportation around the city. We traveled by commuter trains, subways and taxis getting around Tokyo quickly and efficiently. Ishida’s expertise saved us time; avoided our getting lost or confused while using Tokyo’s vast public transportation system. He met us at the Tokyo Cruise Ship Terminal at the appointed time. Our itinerary consisted of a visit to the observation deck of Tokyo Tower, a ramen lunch at the Tower’s food court, Shibuya Crossing, a walk down The Ginza and through the East Garden of the Imperial Palace. During our tour, Ishida provided commentary about the sites we visited, giving us historical, cultural and contemporary Japanese perspectives. He took care of our expenses during the day, buying train & subway tickets, ordering lunch and paying for taxis & entrances to all sites. Naturally, we reimbursed him at the end of the day. He conveniently accepted a credit card and charged us a minimum fee for using it. I highly recommend Ishida Katsuya’s services as a tour guide through Tokyo.

Mary Ellen, Dan, and Kate, I am so relieved to hear that you have returned safely to the US. Thank you very much for joining my tour. Although it kept raining longer than forecasted that day and we had to alter some of our plans, everything went smoothly thanks to your flexibility and kind understanding of my suggestions each time. To be honest, there are still so many more places I would love to show you. I would be absolutely delighted if you could come back to Tokyo someday.

Would do it all over again

We left the ship in Yokohama in the pouring rain, grabbed a taxi and headed to the train station. ISHIDA, our guide in Yokohalma and Tokyo was there waiting for us. From there, we boarded the subway and made our way to Tokyo. He communicated with us continuously and even gave me the message in Japanese to give to the taxi driver. If you want someone that gives 150 percent to make sure that you have an amazing experience, this is your guy.

David, Julie, Robert, and Barbara, thank you so much for the awesome review! Even though we had heavy rain in the morning, you were all so helpful and showed such great interest in everything, which made the tour truly enjoyable for me. I also really appreciated you teaching me those fun Southern expressions. Now I am fixing to finish this writing, and have some coke, which is actually sprite!

An excellent way to experience Tokyo!

This tour allowed us to experience Tokyo from a local's perspective and was tailored to our interests. Ishida did an excellent job of planning our day and allowed us to visit many places in Tokyo and learn more about this great city. I hope we get a chance to return to Tokyo and have the privilege of taking another tour with Ishida. Thanks Ishida for an excellent introduction to Tokyo!

Fantastic Tour with ISHIDA

My wife and I had a fantastic tour of Tokyo, and many thanks for that to our guide ISHIDA! He coordinated the itinerary with us well in advance and it came up as wonderful day trip. ISHIDA picked us up from the Yokohama Osanbashi Cruise Terminal, walked us to the nearest station, where we caught train to Tokyo. His knowledge of Tokyo, as well as the City public transportation was amazing! We visited Shibuya Crossing and Hachiko Statue, Tokyo Tower, Ameyoko Market, Tokyo Station. The great addition to the tour was a walk in the most famous place to see Cherry Blossom, Ueno Park. At the end we had a fantastic ride on Shinkansen (Bullet Train) to get back to Yokohama. ISHIDA spoke great English and kept us entertained with numerous stories and important historical facts. It was enjoyable day trip. We can highly recommend ISHIDA as a tour guide!

Took us on the trains to Tokyo where we had a fab trip and then back for a local Japanese meal. Excellent guide and thank you Ishida for our amazing tour

Hallo Silke und Mike, vielen Dank für die nette Bewertung! Ich habe mich sehr darüber gefreut. Es war das erste Mal für mich, dass ich mich so lange mit jemandem aus Deutschland unterhalten konnte, und ich hatte wirklich viel Spaß dabei. Ich wünsche euch, dass ihr nach eurer Rückkehr von der Kreuzfahrt die wunderschöne Kirschblüte in Japan in vollen Zügen genießt! Herzliche Grüße, Ishida

Exceeded our expectations

Ishida was our excellent guide - he was very informative about the sights we had chosen, answered all of our questions, and was very personable. We learned a lot, especially how thankful we were to have an expert navigate all the trains/subways. And we were fortunate to have nice weather for the day. We very much enjoyed our personalized tour.

Tokyo Tour from Yokohama

Ishida is one of the best. From the onset he contacted us to find the groups interests. He patiently took us to every sight, shopping area and temple we wanted then to an amazing, inexpensive lunch spot. He personalized every aspect of our trip. If you are fortunate enough to find him available don’t miss the opportunity to meet this wonderful guide.
