Takuma was an incredible host. He customized my day and modified it based on my other plans in Tokyo so as to give me a unique experience. It was bad luck that our day ended up being unusually rainy and also complicated because it was approaching a national holiday - Obon. Despite these challenges Takuma was a wonderful companion and we had a memorable day experiencing many sights and foods. Including a personalized special dinner that was incredible. I made a new friend in Takuma and others that were part of the day tour. He was professional, relatable, spoke perfect English, and was very much focused on my enjoyment. There are many food tours or walking tours available from large operators and I have done these in other cities. Takuma is a hidden gem and really made my limited time in Tokyo standout.

Our private tour of Japan with Takuma was truly an unforgettable experience! From beginning to end, everything was thoughtfully planned, organized, and personalized to make our trip comfortable and enjoyable. Having a private tour with Takuma made such a difference. Takuma was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, patient, and attentive to our needs. We were able to experience Japan at our own pace while discovering beautiful places, learning about the culture and history, and enjoying experiences we may not have found on our own.
