Tour Reviews
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!
Tour was great - really enjoyed a matsuri, and a walk around Shimokitazawa.
Very nice tour ! We went around the impérial palace and then explore multiple areas around Tokyo. I was explained the story behind the certain architecture and the différent temple and monasteries ! It was a very nice expérience !
Would recommend if you want to see more of the city and learn more from a local.
Very good and she planned everything out and had even shared across a presentation before our tour keeping in mind our preferences.
