Kyle the guide (and fellow Canadian) was great. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable. I appreciated that he made sure to check in with me that the pace was appropriate and that I was enjoying the tour. Good mixture of local sights, cherry blossoms and history! Enjoyed the tour very much.

Sakura is amazing! She is quite knowledgeable and fun. The park is beautiful and the izikaias are very local. You are certain to enjoy.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you very much for your kind words. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the park and the local izakayas with Sakura. She is always happy to share her knowledge and create a fun atmosphere for everyone. We hope to welcome you again on your next visit.

Best decision, lovely tour guide

Enkhjin_R, Jun 2025

This tour has been an absolute delight. One of the best decisions I've made during my trip to Tokyo. Sakura has been so kind and she did a great job at taking us around the park, introducing us to the cultural and historical aspects of the park. She also took us to the market which had local, affordable, great tasting high quality food! Wouldn't have been the same experience if it wasn't for her. I'd recommend this tour to anyone. 10/10

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that the tour was one of the highlights of your Tokyo trip. Sakura truly loves sharing the cultural and historical sides of the city, and she’ll be so happy to know you enjoyed both the park and the local market experience. It means a lot to hear that the tour felt special because of her—that’s exactly what we hope to create for every guest. Thank you again for the glowing recommendation. 10/10 guests like you make it all worth it!

Great tour with the wonderful Sakura!

Jack_E, Oct 2024

This was a great tour hosted by the brilliant Sakura! She’s absolutely lovely and great fun - Took me around to the local restaurants and bars, with some amazing food! Learnt quite a lot about Ueno and it’s history too. As a solo traveller I was made to feel extremely comfortable and had a great time. Would definitely recommend 😊
