    We spent a high energy fun filled day with Shoko. We had 7 people in our group including 3 children. She was patient and did an incredible job of engaging with the kids. We planned the itinerary together before our tour to make sure we would get the most out of our day. We have some rough food allergies in our family and she went above and beyond to find a restaurant that would be safe for us. We loved her as our guide.

    We had Shoko as our guide and she was so friendly and knowledgeable about the Tokyo area. She catered to our 8yr old daughter and was very considerate of our individual tastes. We got to see the sights of Harajuku which was dessert and shopping heaven. We also got to experience an authentic Japanese restaurant that we wouldn't have known without a local. We would definitely do this again next time we come back.
