A beautiful and relaxed off the beaten track view of Tokyo - We wanted to see some of Tokyo before starting a Japan cruise in April 2025, so one we chose was the Historic Temple, Japanese landscape garden, & Togoshi-Ginza shopping street with Miyuki, because it sounded like a tour to see life in Tokyo but not the busy & crowded tourist places. We were not disappointed!
Miyuki gave us good directions on how to meet her from our hotel and we had no problems. She was there waiting for us. She speaks very good english and asked us what we like and how she could show us things in our interest. We chose to see the temple, some gardens, the lovely walking & shopping street and ended the day enjoying Sakura (cherry blossom viewing) along a lovely river in Tokyo. It was our first time to Tokyo and Miyuki's tour was the perfect intro. While other places in Tokyo had hoards of tourists at peak Cherry Blossom time, we went to the beautiful Honmonji Temple and gardens and it was like our own personal place. You can see in the pictures how quiet our tour place was.
We can comfortably highly recommend Miyuki and her tours for first timers like us, or if you are returning to Tokyo and would like to see its beauty in a less "touristy" way. It was a day we will remember as a highlight of visiting Japan.

Very good tour with a wonderful guide! - Miyuki is a very nice, smart, fun and open person and a very professional guide. She showed me some very interesting sites of Tokyo and told me everything I wanted to know about Tokyo, Japan and the Japanese everyday life. Her tour has a great diversity in things you see and experience. We had some good Japanse snacks too. I book a guide in almost very city I visit but I’ve never enjoyed a tour more then Miyuki’s tour.

Special place in our hearts. - One of the most memorable moments during our visit to Togoshi Ginza was enjoying a beer at the local butcher shop. It was a unique experience that added to the charm of the neighborhood. After exploring the shops and immersing ourselves in the bustling atmosphere, we stumbled upon this A traditional butcher-owned izakaya.The combination of savoring delicious cuts of meat and sipping a cold beer created a perfect pairing. Our adventure with guide Miyuki was an absolute joy and will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
