United StatesSachiko went above and beyond to ensure an experience that exceeded my expectations — despite me booking last minute, she was able to arrange for the tour date that worked for my schedule, as well as design an itinerary that took us around Tokyo, seeing everything I wanted and more. I shared with her my love of architecture and she seamlessly wove in details about the different features and designers of buildings, shrines and places we visited. I will be hiring her again next time I'm back! No doubt.

United StatesAbsolutely wonderful experience! Sachiko-san is very fun to talk with (more so if you're a Japanese-learner like me). She is also very knowledgeable and communicative, especially when asking about what we want to do. My group and I loved having her, we will definitely book another tour with her next time we find ourselves in Japan.

CanadaThis was a fantastic tour! Sachiko went to special effort to find areas of specific interest to us. We could not believe that she would offer such personal attention to a tour plan. She is warm and has a great sense of humour and lots of patience to answer our questions. This tour made our trip to Tokyo wonderful when it was during trying times of an international pandemic. Thank you!

Andrea Wait
AustraliaWe had such a great time with Sachiko for two days walking and exploring Tokyo via the subway system. She was friendly and warm with our two children (3&6), and was able to guide us expertly around the city which meant we were able to make the most of our time there. I would highly recommend Sachiko for tours in Tokyo and Japan. Thanks Sachiko!

Tempe, ARIZONA, United StatesWow! What a great tour! Sachiko arrived at the meeting place on time and ready for a day of adventure. Our group of 6 was ready too. Sachiko took us on a delightful tour of some of the Tokyo sights. Using public transportation we worked our way through the tour. Sachiko has a deep understanding of the area and delighted in sharing her knowledge. Great job! We'll try to do more tours with her!!

United StatesMy daughter was returning from Asian trip and had a long layover at Narita! She wanted to see Tokyo City! I found ToursByLocals via google search and started to correspond via email ! Identified a tour for 6 hours where the guide was going to pick up my daughter at Narita, taker her to Tokyo and drop her back! Sachiko-san was the guide and she was outstanding in terms of pickup drop off and also showing the city. Excellent service! Sachiko 's English is pretty good! I will recommend this to any one

United StatesThis was our third tour with ToursByLocals and I can't speak highly enough of it. Our tour guide, Sachiko was very personable and knowledgeable. She provided our family of 4 a wonderful customized tour of Tokyo. My sons (ages 16 and 12) had an enjoyable time with Sachiko and she made our first visit to Japan very memorable. Highly recommended!

United StatesSachiko was great. She met us at our hotel and took us to the various sites that we had agreed upon prior to the tour. She was very accommodating and at the end when we had extra time she took us to another destination not on the list and make sure we were comfortable getting back to the hotel on our own. Sachiko was very kind and shared with us Japanese culture and history as we progressed through the tour. We had a lot of fun trying new food along the way as well.

We ended our tour at Tokyo Station where she facilitated our converting of our vouchers for the Japan Rail pass and seat reservations to Kyoto. We highly recommend her for a tour guide!!
