Don’t Miss Mariko’s Tour! - Mariko was such a lovely and educational guide. She has deep knowledge of the history and culture of Japan and our tour was incredibly informative and enjoyable. Mariko’s English is excellent and she took wonderful group photos that she texts at the end of the tour. The nighttime tour was a perfect way to see the sights without the crowds - don’t miss this fantastic tour!
