Toshihiro was wonderful! He is a master of the subway/train systems so gets you to all these wonderful sights in one day (you do pay for his subway day ticket, along with your own, FYI, which was a nominal cost)! Best of all, he adjusts the time you spend and the places you go based on what interests you! We really wanted to see Akihabara, which was not on his normal itinerary, and he seamlessly blended that right into our schedule instead of Shibuya. He was so patient as we geeked out and shopped at so many of the shops, and never pressured us to “stay on schedule”! I’d do it all over again!
Thank you for the fantastic tour review, Dana-san. Your hotel was located near Tokyo Metro subway station. So we could use a nominal price one day ticket. You clearly showed me your interests, which area you would like to visit in Tokyo. It was easy for me to adjust the time. You were very cooperative. Thank you again. To tell the truth, I am not so familiar with animation. But you kindly instructed me which animation characters and goods are popular now. I really enjoyed walking Akihabara with you. You gave me a lot of new knowledge. You are still in Japan. Please enjoy the rest of days!
We had the pleasure of having Toshihiro as our guide during our recent visit, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Toshihiro not only took us to all the must-see places but also went above and beyond to help us navigate the subway system, making our travels around the city much easier. His knowledge of the history of each location was impressive, adding depth and context to our visit. He also recommended the best sushi spot in the Tsukiji Fish Market, which turned out to be a highlight of our trip. On top of all this, Toshihiro was kind enough to take a great picture of our group, giving us a wonderful memory to cherish. We are grateful for his excellent service and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and helpful guide.
Thank you for the wonderful tour review, Ratchadaporn-san. You know Asian culture and tradition well. I enjoyed conversation with you. You quickly understood the unique characteristic feature of Japanese society from tourist spots we visited. Especially your family have a great knowledge about cooking and food including Sushi. I learned various things from you. The tour was originally scheduled on the day before. But strong typhoon came to Tokyo. I suggested the change of the tour date to the next day. You agreed with my suggestion in spite of tight schedule. Thank you again. I am really delighted as you commented that this tour gave you a wonderful memory to cherish. I hope that you will come to Japan again in the near future.
We had such a wonderful tour; it was hard conditions being so warm but Toshi was amazing. He looked after us and cared for us. He took us to all the places telling us amazing stories history to all that we saw. He was the nicest person and took us to an amazing sushi restaurant for lunch We so enjoyed our tour . This is a must to do with Toshi to see the main attractions in Tokyo with all the history and stories connected to them. Thank you Toshi you were so great.
Thank you for the splendid tour review with excellent photos, Russell-san. You just arrived in Japan the day before the tour from the Southern Hemisphere in cold winter. This crazy hot summer in Tokyo must be like hell for you. But you followed the itinerary of standard tour without any complaints. There were no shade in some tourist spots. Thank you very much again. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour. It was my pleasure to explain the history. You are still in Japan for more than two weeks. Have a great trip!
I’m back in my room from spending the full day with Toshiro San and it was worth every penny. I saw a lot of the city, a great variety of areas, and had the best sushi ever. I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Tokyo.
Thank you for the quick and excellent tour review, Jeremy-san. It was an extremely hot day. We visited traditional sites and modern spots in Tokyo. I guess that you are now relaxed at the hotel room after taking a shower. In a few days, you have to carry out your task in Japan. I believe that your mission will be completed successfully.
