I feel lucky that Ayako was my guide as I spent three hours enjoying, exploring and learning about areas of Tokyo. I would not have known without her guidance. She cares about her city and her work and I would highly recommend her for any guided experience in Japan.

Jonny Wu was our guide and he was great!!!! He was amicable with the best English out of any tour guide we had in our 2 week vacation (nearly 10 different guides). He was knowledgeable about sake and (most importantly) brought us to the type of bars/restaurants that were our kind of vibe. We went to two shinjuku bars filled only with locals Not as dive-y as golden gai but just the right type of neighborly. We finished with an awesome izakaya. The place was more fancy but a perfect way to end the night with sake and an amazing meal. I highly recommend Johnny Wu.

Had a great time during a sake tour in Tokyo. Our guide, Yohei, was very communicative, no problems meeting up, and he took us to some amazing places that we would definitely have not found on our own. Highly recommend!

He was very friendly and personable and we had some really good conversations with him. One of us had a bad gluten allergy too and he was really careful and made sure to ask the waiters and make sure there was nothing that had gluten in it. I’d recommend him to everyone I know!
