Hiro was our "hero" for our tour of Tokyo. We were just wrapping up a cruise and had an extra day and a half in port before we had to be at the airport for an afternoon flight home. So we booked a full day and half day tour. Since we wanted to spent the entire day exploring the City itself, we decide to use public transportation to get around. Tokyo has an amazing subway system, but with so many options, it can get a bit complex. Having Hiro taking the lead we saving a ton of time quickly getting all around the city to see the many sites . . . some on the standard "must-see" list, and some of Hiro's personal favorite spots. On the second day, our plan was to see some of the sights on the outskirts of the city before being dropped off at the airport. Hiro arranged a private taxi for this purpose. This also worked out great. While our driver focused on navigating, Hiro was a wealth of knowledge, sharing information not only about the places we were visiting and passing along the way, but also about Japanese culture in general. He speaking English exceptionally well, and was always kind, courteous and was a lot of fun to travel with. He made a point to find some nice spots for photos, and happily took photos of us with our camera phones. If Hiro is available for you trip to Tokyo, you'll be lucky to get him.
