I am pleased to welcome tourists from all over the world. I will do my best to make your days wonderful. I can guide not only small groups but also large groups. I can also arrange a bus, coach, or luxury car according to your needs. Please feel free to contact me if you have any requests or questions.

Harry was a wonderful guy who kept us moving rapidly throughout Tokyo. Got a chance to see so many different things and even with the challenges of heavy rain storms we had such a great visit. Thank you so much. Highly recommended.

Our family of 4 (Mom, Dad and 2 college-age kids) had a fabulous day-long tour of Tokyo with Harry. He taught us the ropes on public transportation, was knowledgeable about the historical background of the sites we saw, was very flexible about customizing the tour to include our requests, and gave us more than our money's worth. He was patient, kind and thoughtful throughout our day together. We could not have been more pleased with Harry's guidance.

My wife and I had a ton of fun and experience with Harry. Being for the first time in Japan, we need lots of guidance. Harry in one day provides almost of that, based on listening on our interests. He ended up introducing us to a bit of everything, shopping (Harajuku, Ginza, Omotesando, ...), history (Meiji shrine, Hamarikyu garden, tea ceremony,..), food (Tsukiji market) and even how to take the train and the etiquettes in public. All that in one day, tiring but well worthy. Thank you Harry for being patient with us and for listening to us, an experienced guide and a good friend. Tim and Tania
