First day in Tokyo - Very fun and welcoming tour guide! My family and I were very glad to have someone so knowledgeable to guide us through such a new and crazy place. We learned a lot about Japanese culture and customs which we would have never known otherwise. It was a fantastic start to our trip. And she gave some excellent restaurant and food recommendations, very grateful!

Excellent 1st Tour of Tokyo - Our tour was one of the best we have ever experienced. We had the challenge to get to the meeting point because of the marathon and the streets were detoured or closed. Our guide patiently sorted it out so that we could meet her to keep the tour. Kanon is a very warm & considerate person. She is kind and attentive and we can tell she demonstrated a care for giving us a great tour. She captured all the most important information we should be aware of, the history and the culture of the country. Kanon speaks perfect English having lived in England. She is also learning a few other languages. We learned so much about very important sites, Meiji Shrine and Senso-ji in Asakusa, pointing out the most important things to notice and explained the traditions. We did unique tastings at Tsukiji, the Fish Market and Nakamise Street, the shopping street of snack foods and souvenirs at Asakusa. We visited 3 very distinct neighborhoods which we found were not on other walking tours in Tokyo probably because of the challenges to maneuvering around the city. Kanon was well planned and led us with ease on this tour. We had many questions for recommendations of where to eat and what to see for the rest of our time in Tokyo. Kanon sent us the follow-up texts with all the info. She is truly one of the best tour guides we have ever met and truly enjoyed her lovely self!

Great Tour of Asakusa Temple and Market! - FK was a phenomenal tour guide! I really learned so much on this tour from his knowledge and pointing out all the details I would have otherwise missed. He was also super friendly and I loved talking to him about life in Japan. Thank you for a fantastic experience and tour, FK!

Could have been more informative. - Despite the area having lots of cultural significance and interesting information, our tour guide—who was very kind and respectful—was new to the Tokyo area and therefore less knowledgeable about the sights on the tour. We were split in to two groups and the other tour guide was definitely more experienced, and spoke more intelligibly; so seems to be luck of the draw…
