Kaoru asked me ahead of time what my interests were & planned our day around seeing a temple & a shrine that has great significance to Japan. She was great at assisting me with navigating the train & subway systems so that I could make the most of my time in Tokyo. I greatly appreciated her generosity of time & knowledge.

Our guide was fantastic! Adapted to what we were looking to do and set a pace for us to learn about everything from history and religions all the way to maneuvering the trains. I would definitely use her again.

Kauro was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and considerate of my choices of destinations to visit. We did a lot of subway travel and she was great in getting us where I wanted to go and navigating the underground transportation systems. A very kind and helpful guide. Highly recommended her. I booked her for two days, one four hour day followed by a six hour day. Saw everything I wanted to see in a short time.

Our guide, Kaoru-san, was very friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, and respectful. We felt like she adapted to our interests as the tour progressed. She also communicated very well in advance and right up to our meeting time and location. We learned some interesting facts and felt that she was very sincere in teaching us about her culture.
