Akira met us at our hotel in Shibuya, from which he smoothly guided us through the subway system to our first stop which took the stress out of a typically hectic endeavour. We was knowledgeable about the religious and local history of where we visited, and took us around some lovely local places that tourists rarely get to see, let alone know exist. I couldn’t recommend him more for a first visit to Tokyo, and he does a great job of tailoring and adapting tours to your needs and wants, even on the fly. Kind, patient and overall really chill guy.
Dear Tom, Thank you so much for the great review. I am so happy that you enjoyed the tour. It is always my joy to show you local neighborhoods, going to the places that serve delicious foods that local have almost every day, introducing people I love (like a grandma in the fruit shop we went). I would like to thank you for paying respect for locals and its culture during the tour. I hope the tour helped you understand what local like me think is a real Tokyo and hoping that it will makes you come back to the city again. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, The Chill Guy
Akira was such a great guide. He brought us around to very cool local neighborhoods and we had an amazing lunch. He’s a joy to be with and makes sure you’re informed, fed and having fun.
Dear Matthew, Thank you so much for the great review. I hope the tour is a good introduction for your very first Japan trip. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together! Akira
We didn't want the typical tourist spots and that's what we got. The day was so fun and informative that it flew by. Akira was an excellent guide and host. He curated a tour just for us. And, we met some wonderful people along the way. Today was special.
Dear Irene, Thank you so much for the great review. I arrived at the hotel lobby without any plan, we met, and just started walking. Since we met, I had sensed that you and Mitch had seen me as not just a guide you hired but as one human being, so I tried to add personal touch onto the tour as much as I could, and I’m so glad that it worked. I want you to know that the day was special for me too. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira
Akira will take you to places where locals go for lunch and the best shaved ice. We also stopped by for a coffee made with love. If you are looking to visit Tokyo, off the beaten trail, then, I would highly recomend. Many thanks to Akira, who has been an amzing guide.
Dear Chris, Thank you so much for the great review. I’m so glad to know that you enjoyed the day with me. It was so much fun to walk in the city with wonderful people like you and your family that I (and I assume you too) had forgotten about unpleasant weather that day. Thank you so much for having me as a guide and thank you so much for paying respect to locals and their culture wherever we went, I’m looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira
