New ZealandEriko was a superb guide. She was very knowledgeable, pleasant and interesting company. She was also elegant and charming with a sense of humour. Eriko explained the history and traditions of Japan and the places she took us to. We only wish we had booked her for our entire stay. We recommend her 110%. Thank you Eriko.

CanadaEriko did a great job of tailoring the tour to my interests. In addition to seeing parts of Tokyo only a local would know I feel like I spent the day with old friend! This tour will be one of the real highlights of my visit to Tokyo. Thank you Eriko!

Christopher Sosa
United StatesEriko was an amazing guide! Once we booked our tour we sent a few emails back and forth in order to come up with the perfect itinerary for our day. Since this was our first day in Tokyo, Eriko did a great job to get us set up with a metro card and explain the train system to us so we could easily navigate it on our own for the rest of the trip. Eriko is very knowledgeable, kind, and a lovely person to be around. She taught us so much about Japan in just one day and I feel like we gained a friend!

United StatesWe had a great 1.5 days with Eriko in Tokyo - among other things Akihabara (VR games etc), Shinjuku - Shaved Ice on top floor off Tokyp City Hall, Senso-ji temple, Meji shrine and park and a fascinating Buddhist fire ceremony. Eriko was particularly personable and the whole family connected well with her. Her English is excellent after stays abroad in Australia and Canada. She also had a very interesting perspective on Japanese culture after having spent time abroad. I can definitely recommend Eriko.

United StatesThe places and sites that Eriko escorted us to ,educated us to the culture of the people of Japan and the beauty of Tokyo's gardens , buildings and waterways. This was our first time in Japan. Eriko took us by train and boat,to each place we visited. The imperial gardens with the 300 year old bonzai's, the imperial temple in old town, the "sega" building, the hustle and bustle of the market leading to the temple. All are unforgettable to us, especially the view of the city from high above in a skyscraper

Elton Abe
United StatesIt truly was a perfect day! After fantastic suggestions by Eriko-san, we decided on an itinerary of old and new Tokyo as I have my teenage boys on this trip. Eriko-san is knowledgable, organized, and has a wonderful personality which made for a fun and busy day. Watching her navigate the city, made it so much easier to navigate the trains and subways on our own thereafter. We visited Meiji Shrine, Harajuku, Akihabara, Monzennakacho, Sensoji Temple and Tokyo Skytree. Domo arigato gozaimasu Eriko-san!

United StatesLook no further than Eriko - she is the best (6 out of 5 stars). Her background in international travel/hospitality (with major worldwide hotels), her extensive international travel, and excellent English make her the best choice for your Tokyo visit. She demonstrates total commitment to making your visit enjoyable --- she arranged complicated restaurant reservations (Sumido fireworks festival), guided my 20-year old daughter while I had business meetings, and offered a range of sightseeing choices.
Eric Naughten
United StatesOur custom tour with Eriko was fantastic — everything we expected and more. In the sweltering heat of mid-July, Eriko maintained an incredibly graceful composure and helped us all feel cooler following her lead. She is very knowledgeable and was able to accommodate all of our interests. Eriko is a true 5-star guide and we are grateful to have spent the day with her.

Mohammed Mahmoud
doha, NONE, QatarEriko guided me around Japan and showed me different cities. her knowledge was interesting about old Japanese story about 2 fishers caught gold statue and took it to their master and build the temple, I think the temple was in Asakusa city if I am correct, and information about lion the protector and wolf the passenger. I enjoyed my time with her learning one of their cultures at fire temple. so and the end I recommend you to choose Ms Eriko. being around her like I know her for years as a friend.
Chris Blaser
United StatesEriko is a wonderful tour guide.

Highly recommended.

United StatesMy daughter and I had the most incredible 3 days in Tokyo thanks to Eriko. She is an incredibly knowledgeable tour guide that is able to customize the tour at any point to work with her audience. We learned so much about Japan from Eriko as well as seeing all of the sights. She also is just a pleasure to be around. I really cannot say enough to recommend her. She is a fantastic tour guide.
Ajit Patel
United StatesEriko was excellent & spoke fluent English. It was like walking with a long time friend even though she wore a kimono. Her attire gave an authentic feel about Japan & we could ask her questions that had intrigued us about Japanese culture. We will surely recommend her to our friends traveling to Japan in the future.
Marc Thomas
AustraliaEriko was a fantastic guide, fun to be around and full of information about the sights and general life in Japan. We spent two days with Eriko on a custom tour that she helped plan for us covering both old and new Tokyo with many highlights and things you would never get to see without insider knowledge. The two days with Eriko were definitely one of the highlights of the trip and I would recommended 100%. Thank you Eriko for making our trip so memorable :)

United StatesEriko was such a joy to spend the day with while in Tokyo. She met me at my hotel and we walked, as well as used the Metro, to see sites such as the Tsukiji Fish Market and attend a unique Buddhist fire ceremony. Eriko is very thoughtful, kind and articulate. She will bring Tokyo to life for you in a very personal way. Being an experienced traveler herself, she is knowledgeable in many areas and cultures. She will customize your itinerary for whatever you would like to see and do. Thank you Eriko!

Tony Greenman
IsraelHad a wonderful day with Eriko. She is not only a guide, but also a real companion and such a nice person to spend time with. Eriko is knowledgeable, flexible and speaks great English and has a feel for what you want to do and see. She went to the limits to make our day special, taking us off the beaten track to see really interesting things, we would never have found on her own, such as a wonderful Buddhist fire ceremony. A really fantastic introduction to Tokyo and its people. We highly recommend her!
Mark Rose
United StatesIt was a great day and everything I had hope for. We saw many great sites and neighborhoods both new and old. Very flexible on how we spent our day and we also had some great food along the way. She also taught me how to ride the subways so during the reminder of my stay in Tokyo I was able do some of the basic travel on my own. Eriko's English is very good. I would highly recommend Eriko.
Anna Crewes
AustraliaWhat a fantastic tour!! Eriko was so lovely and informative. We were a family of three teenagers and she was very patient and kind and has a great sense of humour. We felt very honoured that she was dressed in traditional kimono. There was something for everyone, Harajuku explorés via shopping, Cat cafes, a beautiful visit to Meji Shrine and a delicious ramen lunch. It was very special day for us all. Thank you Eriko!
Stephen Houk
United StatesMy wife and I scheduled a tour with Eriko starting at Narita. We had a layover that allowed a 3-4 hour tour. We corresponded by email and we decided on a customized tour of Narita. She was waiting for us at the arrival entrance. Then, we took the train to the first stop past the airport and toured the town of Narita. The town has a "pedestrian-only" Street with a Buddhist temple at the end. Eriko was an awesome guide, very friendly and enjoyable to be with. Would happily use her again when in Tokyo.
Stuart Fund
IsraelWe had a fantastic day touring with Eriko! She adapted the tour to our needs and gave us great tips for the rest of our stay. Eriko's English is excellent and we felt very comfortable with her. We had so many questions and she patiently answered them all so that by the end of the day we felt that we had a good understanding of Japanese culture as well as the history of the city. It was a special treat for us to see her in her kimono and hear about her family history. We highly recommend Eriko!
Susanne Schneppendahl
GermanyExcellent tour guide! We higly recommend Eriko as a private tour guide in Tokio. Her English is fluent and perfect, she individualized the tour to meet our interests and deisires. We appreciated her recommnedations. Her warm and welcoming attitude made these 2 days to a wonderful expierence. Eriko is very knowledgable and introduced the city and the culture to us in a interesting and exciting way. Our 3 children (11, 13,14) loved to spent the days with her! She got never tired to answer all our questions
Valerie A.
United StatesEriko was an amazing tour guide in Tokyo! She took us to many hidden gems that we would have never been able to see/do if we were on our own. She is very knowledgeable about Japan, and it was very interesting to learn about the history and culture from her. My family and I felt like we were walking around the city with a friend. I would highly recommend booking her if you come to Tokyo!! We plan on coming back, and will definitely hire her again! :-)
Shelley Dhawan
CanadaEriko was a great guide! She was helpful and knowledgeable. She came wearing traditional Japanese attire, which made the experience more fun! She catered to our interests as well (i.e. it was a hot day and we wanted to stop for a beer lol). She was flexible when we made a change to our itinerary and took us to akihabara, which worked out well for us. I would definitely recommend a tour with Eriko to my friends and family!
Peter Belina
United StatesEriko is an excellent tour guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our Tokyo sightseeing day with her. She tailored the itinerary perfectly to our interests and shared many valuable insights. Her superb English combined with an informal, friendly attitude were truly refreshing - we felt like we were touring the town with a good friend. We would heartily recommend Eriko to anyone interested in going beyond the touristy landmarks and getting the local vibe.
Raymond Ahles
United StatesEriko was excellent quickly finding me at our meeting place in the train station and having lots of ideas for what to do since I really had no preferences. She was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. It was a great tour and I can highly recommend her.
