United StatesA perfect end to a cruise. Akio met us at the pier and took us to the Imperial gardens and Meiji Shrine and even a "scramble" with all the other pedestrians. and then to the airport. Since we had baggage he arranged a car. It was all well organized and he was the perfect host getting to sights we had missed on our way out.

Roberta Simcoe
United StatesOur 2nd visit to the Yokohama/Tokyo area, our 2nd tour with Akio: again, Akio met and surpassed any expectations. He took us to the sites most desired by us, was so very supportive of our physical limitations. Our last day in Japan may well have been our favorite, all thanks to Akio's planning, suggestions for plan changes due to inclement weather, etc. Should there be a subsequent visit to Tokyo, Akio will be the first person we contact about the trip. Thanks, Akio, for a marvelous time.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Roberta, Thank you so much for giving me such an excellent rating and review! I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed a day in Tokyo despite the variable weather. It was a wonderful time for me too. Thanks for coming to Yokohama and choosing me as your guide! Please convey my regards to your husband. Sincerely, Akio
Roberta Simcoe
United StatesWe spent a wonderful day with Akio, traveling by train and hired car. We enjoyed the agreed-upon itinerary but found the unaccustomed heat/humidity a bit of a challenge to our stamina. Akio was very aware of our growing exhaustion and agreed to save part of our plans for our next appointment. We are pleased to say that we will again be enjoying Akio's services on August 14, when we will again be in Yokohama for a day. We heartily recommend Akio. Also, His command of English is excellent.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Roberta, Thank you so much for giving me such an excellent rating and review! That's very nice of you to say. I hope you are all fine after the tour on such a hot day. It was my pleasure to have guided you around Tokyo. I enjoyed touring with you too. I'm looking forward to guiding you again on August 14! Thanks for having me as your guide. Sincerely, Akio

Harry Bailey
United StatesAkio was a pleasure to spend the day with. My wife has Parkinson's so he planned the tour for what she could handle. He went out of the way to find the easiest way for her to travel. He was knowledgeable, and i appreciated his knowledge of Japanese culture. We found the tour with Akio interesting and he's also fun to be with.

John Indorf
Allyn, WA, United StatesAki is a wonderful guide and should we ever visit Japan again we will try to secure his services. Punctual, friendly, knowledgeable, sincere, educational, considerate, made certain that he would pack in as many sights as possible in a comfortable manner, concerned for our welfare on this day and voiced hopes that we would have a safe 6 week journey around his homeland. We would not hesitate to give Aki anything less than the highest recommendation as a tour guide in Tokyo or anywhere else in Japan.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear John, Thank you so much for giving me such an excellent review! That’s very kind of you to say. It was my pleasure to have guided you. I also enjoyed a day very much while touring and chatting with you and your wife. I hope you enjoyed a journey around Japan. Thanks for coming to Yokohama and choosing me as your tour guide! Please convey my regards to your wife. Sincerely, Aki
