Our tour with Nori was great! She showed us around quieter neighborhoods and took us to hidden gems, like a gorgeous temple tucked away in a back alley and little shops we never would have found on our own. I recommend this tour for people who prefer a more relaxed, immersive experience rather than a fact-heavy tour. Nori speaks both English and Japanese fluently and will even encourage you to say a few words yourself if you would like to place an order on your own. Thank you!
