What a thrill. It was perfection.

Adriano_S, Jan 2025

Oh my gosh. Where to begin. This is the real deal, the real Tokyo. I’ve travelled to Japan a few times now, and I had always had that feeling something was missing. And this tour was exactly it. Far from the shiny lights or busy noises from the city centre, this is the real Tokyo. This is where the people really live. This is the real deal. I was beyond impressed with everything, indeed: The Buddha and the Shrine: to die for. Perfection. The Botanical Garden: precious. The two museums: super informative. The environment: feels real. Now, the guide: he’s a true Japanese lord. Oh my God: he’s intelligent, funny, super knowledgeable, friendly, witty, speaks English, super respectful and a great photographer. Few times have I done such an amazing tour. I’m so thankful I did it with this incredible gentleman.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

I am very happy to read your review. Japan is very unique and interesting country. Please come to Japan again.

Don’t miss this tour!
