Welcome to the two days walking tour to see, taste and enjoy Tokyo &Kyoto perfectly! We'd visit most of the major spots in both Tokyo and Kyoto. We can flexibly modify the itinerary as per your choice and interest.
I would like to thank Hiro san for the wonderful tour around Tokyo and Kyoto. He is very knowledgeable about history, religion and about different shrines and temples. And if you want to go to a specific place he is happy to change the schedule. I will definitely will take more tours with Hiro san when I will come back to Japan again and I definitely recommend. Arigato guisemasu Hiro san.
Hiro-san was a wonderful guide he was very informative and responded to our request thoughtfully. We were spending a week in Tokyo and wanted to get a orientation so we could explore on our own later. He did an excellent job and he was a pleasure to get to know along the way. He helped us get a great appreciation for Japan and it's people. We also visited Kyoto which was also outstanding we are heading back in a few days. Just bring your walking shoes you will get plenty of exercise
One of the best decisions we ever made. Hiro was phenomenal! Professional, knowledgeable, flexible and enjoys what he does. Would recommend to anyone.
Hiro is an excellent Kyoto tour guide. In addition to explaining the temples, shrines, and the city to us, he was always available to translate written text or spoken Japanese upon request. Our toured events were always running over time, which he helped us manage by prioritizing locations, sights within locations, and even recommending dropping one or two events to allow us to spend more time at other locations. His English is excellent; we highly recommend him to everyone.
Our tour with Hiro was amazing. We absolutely would not have seen as much of Kyoto as we did if we tried to do it ourselves. And Hiro's knowledge is limitless. We highly recommend both the tour and Hiro.
Intimate knowledge of the Tokyo history, culture and governance. Hiro knows the train system very well and we were able to navigate everything we wanted to see in our 8 hour day. Hiro had the feeling of being taken around Tokyo by a friend that you came to town to visit.

This is a walking tour (5 hours each day) with frequent use of bus/ train/ subway. We usually walk 4 to 8 miles for each day. We can reduce the walking distance by cutting places to visit, using taxi/ cab, etc., at the client's request and expense. Downloading 'Welcome Suica' at your mobile phone is highly recommended. It can be used for all of Japan's short distance transits including subway that we often use during our tour. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/welcome-suica-mobile/id6738336566
