Half Day Tour with wonderful guide, Yuka

Our guide Yuka was exceptionally knowledgeable and patient with us! The half day tour was fully customized to our interests and lasted for 4hrs - just enough to get a sampling of all that Tokyo has to offer. We highly recommend using this tour service, especially if this will be your first time visiting Japan as it was for us.

Fantastic custom tour of Tokyo

My husband and I booked the custom half-day tour of Tokyo. We were asked for areas of interest so the tour could be tailored to our needs. Our tour guide, Hitomi Kohara, was fantastic! She took us to four wonderful locations, including the Tsukiji Market, Tokyo Tower, Zojoji Temple, and Shibuya. Hitomi was incredibly knowledgeable and provided us with the history as we went along in a very friendly and digestible manner. We would highly recommend this tour with Hitomi.
