Miwa was the best tour guide! She really focused on sites we wanted to see and activities we wanted to do. She went out of her way to make the tour special for us. I highly recommend Miwa as a guide! She gets a 10 out of 10 rating! Thanks to Miwa!
Alyson F.United States
We had very limited time in Tokyo and were fortunate to find Miwa as a tour guide. She suggested a place to store our luggage at Tokyo station and met us there. She helped our sons find what they were looking for at Akihabara, saving us hours of searching. We also visited the Meiji Shrine, Shibuya Crossing, Hachiko statue and Shibuya Centre Gai Street. Miwa helped us find our train to get to the airport and later sent me information via e-mail on a question I had. We highly recommend Miwa!
Anne S.Canada
We were so happy to have Miwa as our guide in Tokyo for two days. She was generous, knowledgeable, efficient and very accomodating! She showed us many different sites in such a short time, gave us lots of great recommendations and answered all of our many questions with lots of patience. We really believe we got the most out of our 3 day layover in Tokyo because of her. Miwa was professional, friendly, and just a wonderful person. We would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a guide in Japan!

I would like to thank Miwa for a wonderful and informative day in Tokyo. Not only was Miwa extremely well informed about every aspect of the tour, her attention to detail and her willingness to help me were second to none. It felt like I was being shown around by a friend rather than a guide, and I would recommend Miwa to anyone interested in seeing Japan as you will not only have a great day but also come away far more knowledgeable too. Thank you Miwa!
Marjorie B.United States
Miwa is amazing. She showed us Tokyo in ways that helped us all (two parents and two kids ages 9 and 11, each with different interests) find something we loved. She slowed down in places we wouldn't have noticed to help us see things differently. We recommend her whole-heartedly.
