I cannot be more pleased with this avenger. I learned a lot of history about Japan. My tour guide was very pleasant and patient. She showed me so many different things. I highly recommend the booking if I was ever returned to Japan I would definitely rebook this and look for her I am very satisfied. She is a beautiful person inside and out very pleasant. Her English communication skills is very well.

Fantastic Experience!

My guide Hana, was so sweet and very informative of the area. She guided me through all the temples and shopping districts in the area. I learned a lot of very interesting history and the cultural significance of certain things. This tour was very fun and I also bought a lot of things. I would highly recommend this tour if you want to learn more about the cultural history and want to buy some things along the way. Thank you again Hana for providing such a fun and unforgettable day!

A very worthwhile couple of hours.

The delightful personality of our hostess Shino. We were treated to a tour which met all our expectations. I am sure Shino would shine at any task.

Fun and Informative

I am always interested in the history and culture of a place when I visit. Rather than wander around on my own and not know what i’m Looking at, it’s really worth it to have a knowledgeable guide. Kurumi did a great job of telling the story and meaning of many features at the Asakusa temple that I would otherwise miss. For example the statues and bells at the entrance have meaning that is interesting but not available or displayed at least for non-Japanese speaker. She helped me inquire at some of the many stores to find some items I wished to purchase and the lunch at a traditional Zashiki style Japanese restaurant where you sit on pillows was delicious. Recommend if you visit Asakusa to get the most out your experience.
