CanadaWe had a fantastic day with Hideaki. We strolled around Tsukiji Fish Market and had the lunch everyone including Anthony Bourdain said you have to try: The Egg Salad Sandwich. It was awesome. Strolled through the Hamarikyu Gardens. Went by subway to Asakusa and did a lot of shopping. Finished the evening off at the Tokyo Tower. He made arrangements for us to get back to the ship in Yokohama. We kept changing things on him and he was very flexible . Highly recommend Hideaki as a guide.

United StatesMr. Hideaki was a wonderful guide for my wife and I in Tokyo. He contacted us well before our tour date to plan our day and offer us several different options and tailor the trip to what we were most interested in seeing. He also showed us how to use the Japanese train systems and get acquainted with the metro. That helped us tremendously for the remainder of our trip. We had plans in the evening and he was great with being flexible to help accommodate our tour to match with our plans for after. Perfect!

United StatesThe tour of Tokyo that Hideaki gave us was excellent. We had only one day to see one of the largest and most exciting cities in the world. Hideaki put together an itinerary that gave us an excellent overview. We visited three areas which gave us a view of Tokyo's historic beauty and then ended by visiting two areas which are the exciting centers of the modern city. He worked with us in advance to set up the best itinerary to meet our needs, then guided us knowledgeably.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Michael-Sam, Thank you very much for your review. I’m so glad to know that you enjoyed the tour. Fortunately, the weather was fine that day. Please come back to Japan again to see more beauty and excitement. Best regards, Hideaki M.

United StatesBefore even booking he recommended several places and possible visiting schedule. I really appreciated his exacting list, timing and even links to YouTube for my review so I could get the best possible, unique personal tour. And I did. He helped us with hotel & transfers issues. Way above the "job description". Adjusted the schedule to accommodate my walking challenges. And OH yes--- a well informed and clear guide.

AustraliaHideaki tailor made the tour to suit our teenage family and sent out an itinerary to ensure we were happy with his plans. He did well to fit it all into the day. He even stayed with me after hours to ensure that I had a correct booking for the following days events. We had a great time exploring the highlights of tokyo with Hideaki and would recommend him to anyone looking for a tailored family tour.
