Taka was an amazing guide for our 4-hour custom Tokyo tour! He communicated with us in advance, listened to exactly what we wanted to see and created a perfect personalized itinerary. His energy was infectious and his knowledge of Tokyo’s history, customs, neighbourhoods and hidden gems made every stop fascinating. He navigated the city expertly, maximizing our time without feeling rushed. It felt like exploring with a knowledgeable local friend rather than a formal tour.

Our experience with Taka as a personal guide was wonderful. We were on our first day in Tokyo and he was greatly helpful in sharing important cultural customs as well as practical advice regarding exchanging currency and getting around on the subway. He met us at our hotel to make sure we could easily navigate our way to the Meiji Shrine which we enjoyed along with a stroll through Takeshita Street. He suggested a lunch place and walked us to the Ota museum which we had planned to tour. Along the way we enjoyed getting to know him, as well as the city.
