Ken was Absolutley the Perfect Guide in Tokyo! His communication via WhatsAPP before meeting detailing the tour schedule and comforming meeting place. As its Sakura time here we saw some spectacular blooms. Ken keep our schedule flexible when we wanted extra time at locations. Plus, FYI I lost my IPhone in taxi and having the cab reciept Ken was able to communcate retriving it for me. Can't wait to return and take Ken's Night Bar tour next 👍. Book this private tour as you will not regret the decision. Ken, you made our day! Again, Thank you!

We had a Fantastic day with Miyuki. She seamlessly guided us through Subway & Train stations to see the beautiful Shibuya Sky, Shibuya Scramble, Hachi Akita Statue, Asakusa Shopping District Senjojo Temple, the Cherry blossoms & old Temple & shopping area by the Sky Tree and more. She customized our day based on our wish list and made it so easy to see many sights in one day that would have taken several frustrating getting lost a lot days on our own. She took photos of us at every special location & sent them all to us.
Truly a blessed and beautiful day we will remember always.

Maki was an exceptional guide who tailored our tour to fit our interests. With her help, we were able to visit many of our "bucket list" sites. She was full of energy and information. She even brought us a book of pictures and stories to help us fully understand what we were seeing including cultural and significant points.

During the day she gave us insight into the meaning and history of many Japanese traditions and culture as we explored our various locations.

Resending again in case it didn’t go the first time…
Kaori: you are the best travel guide and we saw so much with your expertise of Tokyo. I arrived home with no issues at the huge airport where we did lots of shopping but everything fit in my carryon. The flight was comfortable and no delays. I’m glad to be home and have some of my unpacking done and laundry caught up. I would love to come back to Japan and see the rest of your beautiful and friendly country. Be sure and let me know if you ever travel to Seattle, Washington and I will show you our beautiful state. Again, thank you for showing Mar’ Sue and me your beautiful Tokyo…Mary Anne
PS - the only thing I think we missed was a grocery store, maybe next time? Be safe and thank you…
Response from Host, Nov 2025

The most remarkable part of our experience was our guide, Keita. As described, he spoke English well, and took us to not only the sites like Shibuya, but also eateries and the like that locals frequent. He also made sure that our 19-year old son was made to feel special (because this entire trip was to celebrate his entry in to college in a few weeks) and the two hit it off. So, we got a taste of what Japan was really like, not just the touristy side of things. If we visit Tokyo again, we will seek out Keita as our guide. It was a fabulous day.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Dear valued guest,
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that you had a memorable time with Keita, and he was sure to make your son happy too.
We truly hope to see you back for more tours in the future!

Rie (her Anglo name was Molly) was our guide for the day and she was fantastic. She met us on time in our hotel lobby and had an excellent command of English. She was thorough with her explanation of places and activities we visited. When made aware that one of our party had a gluten free dietary requirement, she made extensive inquiries over the phone and in person to ensure that we all ate at a restaurant that could provide gf options. Her personality was warm and engaging. She was as interested in us and our stories as we were with hers which really enhanced our experience of Tokyo. As our party of of five women were on a private tour, we were were able to tweak it as the day progressed to include some slightly extended shopping stops. Our group highly recommends Molly and the tour.

First time to Tokyo and guided by very lovely and warm person, Shizuko-san. She explained everything including destination that we decided to go by ourselves and even checked if we arrived safely at our hotel after our own trip. Thank you very much Shizuko-san.
Adil H, Sep 2017
Our guide Yoko was absolutely amazing , she went out of her way to accommodate our needs. She was extremely knowledgeable and the tour was so informative. We went on to have great memories of this trip , i would recommend this to anyone that is coming to Tokyo for the first time. Keep up the good work
Taj_S, Sep 2017
This was a great trip. The guide: Shizoku spoke very good English and was on time and sincere. She helped us a lot in navigating
through this great city and kept communicating through emails even after the trip. She took us to the famous Tokyo Mosque where
we could offer our prayers and see the architecture of the building. The halal food at the restaurant was not that great. Other than
that we really enjoyed the trip.
MAT RAMLEE M, Jun 2017
Good as an introduction on how to go around the city of Tokyo. Small group tour, very much like personal tour where we had two tour guide accompanying us. Very informative and friendly tour guide.
Mohamed A, May 2017
Thank you so much for this amazing tour, the guide helped us a lot with different things in Tokyo it was our first day and covered a lot of places in one day only! highly recommended if you're a muslim or not because the food is halal for lunch and that's why it's called a muslim-friendly.
Muhammad_A, Dec 2016
Having just arrived in Tokyo the day before the Muslim Tour was an excellent start to my trip! I had a wonderful day with my awesome guide Takeshi who showed me great places around Tokyo in Asakusa, Shibuya and Shinjuku to name a few! He introduced me to Halal Japanese cuisine and how to go about finding Halal food in Japan! This was really helpful and I also learnt how to get around on the metro which was a perfect start to my trip as it set me up well. Thanks so much for all your kind help and a great day out! I strongly recommend the Muslim tour to all!
Fasiha H, May 2016
Excellent day with a wonderful guide- Takeshi! Very impressed with the organization- a notice was left at the hotel confirming pick up time when we check in. I responded that we had check in and would meet at the designated time--Takeshi sent a picture of himself so we could easily identify him. Local subway transportation to each area- showing how to calculate fare and buy tickets. Wonderful way to orient yourself to Tokyo and go back later if you wish. Takeshi was very kind to provide us Muslim friendly maps of Shinjuku and Asakusa---had no idea this even existed! These were very helpful as they show where halal restaurants are, etc. A great day with a great guide--kind, patient and very easy going...THANK YOU!
Sumaiyah I, Apr 2016
Thank you Takeshi-San, Naho-San and Yoko-San for the wonderful Muslim tour today. My family and I learned a lot about the Japanese culture, religion and language. We are happy for today and are looking forward when we come again to Japan. Lastly, I really really LOVE the authentic Halal Japanese food!!
Nadia A, Mar 2016
it been almost a month after we visited Tokyo but i still can't forget that moment.
One Day Muslim-Friendly Tour of Tokyo gave me a great memory that i could never forget. I experienced life as a Japanese where i used train as my main transport to travel from one to another places. This what make this tour is so special.
As a Muslim, you don't have to worry about your Halal meal and where you should perform your prayer, Mr. Takeshi will bring you to the best halal meal in Tokyo and give a time for you to pray. The hosts Ms. Akira and Mr. Takeshi are a good people, very nice and willingly to help. The place that they brought us is suitable for our family as i have one 2years old daughter and 66 years old mother. We had so much fun as we visited the Asakusa temple and Harajuku street.
I'll will and yet has recommend this tour to my friends. Thank you Mr. Takeshi and Ms. Arika, we are friend now, thank you for suggested us the places in Akihabara and that tasteful meal in Gyumon. Thank you for everything... i'll come back and bring more friends next time. Ja ne

El Shibuya Skyline ofrece una vista muy buena de Tokyo y Shibuya, además de estar al aire libre en la parte alta. Hay bueno más restaurantes en el Edificio. Por otro lado el guía muy profesional y con buenas recomendaciones (muy flexible ).
