I can't say enough about how wonderful Miwa is. She's full of details both historical as well as practical information. Having her at our side felt like royal treatment. She made accommodations at last minute and was flexible enough to help me find something as silly as Pokémon cards for a family member. Should you hire her you will not be disappointed.

Our private tour with Miwako was the highlight of our visit to Japan. She communicated with us in advance to ascertain what we wanted to see and do, and put together a tour that covered everything but was also relaxing and fun. She was very personable and helpful, and gave us fascinating insights into life in Japan. She is a wonderful guide. The car was extremely comfortable. In sum, this highly personalized tour was exactly what we wanted, and I’m so glad we did it!

Great tour. Friendly knowledgable guide and great driver. Went everywhere we wanted to go plus many other places. Knew where to go and got dropped off close to attractions and came back close to pick us up afterwards. Gave us other places to visit on following days we were in Tokyo.
