Shoko was great fun to spend time with and keen to tailor the experience to my interests. She had excellent rapport with the staff at the bars we visited and had no problems facilitating some lively and interesting conversations, acting as an interpreter when necessary. Fantastic experience, happy to recommend!

She really listened to what we wanted to do and provided us a really custom trip! I would highly recommend her.

We were a family of four with two teenagers who love anime, manga and gundam. Our tour guide was Shoko and we met her at Akihabara station. It was our second day in Japan and haven’t learned the public transportation yet but it was easy enough to take a cab there. Shoko was amazing! Full of smiles and energy which is just what was needed while two teenagers were overloaded with all that there was to see. Great tour. Definitely recommend.

3-hour walking tour of Tokyo with my three kids was absolutely fantastic! Shoko was knowledgeable, energetic, and great with children, bringing the city to life as we explored hidden alleyways, stunning temples, and local street food spots in Ueno, Takeshita street and Shibuya. The pace was perfect, with engaging stories and fun facts keeping my kids interested throughout. Shoko patiently answered all questions and offered fascinating insights into Japanese culture and history. This personalized tour left us with a deep appreciation for Tokyo's blend of ancient traditions and modern vibrancy. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an informative and memorable Tokyo experience with kids!
