Hello! I'm Toshinori, your friendly and trustworthy host to Tokyo's wonderful mosaic of cultures and eras. I'm endlessly fascinated by this city's unique blend of the old and the new, the Eastern and Western influences, and its dynamic yet peaceful atmosphere. As a food enthusiast, my heart belongs to Tokyo's culinary scene. From the steamy bowls of ramen to the delicate slices of sushi and the smoky aroma of yakitori, I'm always ready to share my favorite spots. Walking around Tokyo is like a journey through time, and I'm eager to immerse you in its history, culture, and traditions. I'm particularly passionate about the less-traveled shrines and temples, as well as the serene gardens and parks hidden amidst the urban sprawl. These are the places where Tokyo's soul truly shines. Join me for a friendly exploration of Tokyo, where every corner has a story, and every meal is a celebration of tradition and modernity!

My reviews
-
It was a great day’s plan and with plenty of information at the various places we visited. It was paced really well for me, so fast enough to fit plenty in but not rushed.

The tour was great! This was my first time in Tokyo and it really helped having someone to show you around, give you tips on how to get to places, which metro card to buy, etc. Toshi speaks perfect English, so communication was easy and fluent. He is very knowledgeable and knows Tokyo very well!

Toshi was a great host on the private food tour. He gave us the local flare of Tokyo and showed us some other places to stop in during our stay. The best part was being able to try whale!
