“We had a wonderful private tour in Tokyo with Kei! He was so friendly, knowledgeable, and organized. Kei suggested a great itinerary for our 6-hour tour, and we were able to visit highlights like Asakusa Sensoji Temple, Nakamise Dori Street, the Imperial Palace East Gardens, Tsukiji Market, and Meiji Jingu Shrine. He even recommended a perfect lunch spot with a variety of food stalls, which worked out well since our group had different preferences. We really appreciated his warmth, flexibility, and insights into Tokyo’s culture and history. Highly recommend Kei for anyone visiting the city!”

Our itinerary was somewhat modified but we saw the palace, a temple, gardens, etc. Our guide was informative and kept us safe. We lucked out on beautiful weather and really enjoyed the day. Be sure you are comfortable riding a bike as you will go from sidewalk to road with traffic.”
