“ One day in Tokyo ”

I was on a quick layover and only had about 6 hours to see as much of Tokyo as possible. Toshihiro was able to help me see everything on my list and provided some history and fun facts along the way. He also was kind enough to meet me at the airport in the morning and ensured I boarded the right train back to the airport later that afternoon. Thank you Toshihiro!

Toshihiro:

Dear Leslie-san, Thank you for the tour review. It was just a six hours layover that you were in Tokyo for sightseeing. I appreciate that you did a Tokyo tour in your busy schedule. But Haneda airport is located a little bit far from major tourist spots in Tokyo. Not only Tokyo but many other Japanese cities have a lot of exciting and interesting destinations. I recommend you do Japan tour for two or three weeks next time. Best regards, Toshihiro

“ Final Fantasy Eorzea Cafe ”

Toshihiro-san is very knowledgeable with Tokyo subway and this helps to save a lot of time on moving from one itinerary to another. We are very particularly grateful to Toshihiro-san for helping us to get the tickets to Final Fantasy Eorzea Cafe in Akihabara. Also greatly appreciate helping us to order food at Tsukiji market and trying out monjayaki at Monja Street.

Toshihiro:

Dear Lim-san, Thank you for the tour review. Your hotel was located at Ginza area, it was easy to visit tourist spots like Tsukiji fish market and Tsukishima Monja street. I am not so familiar with Japanese Anime culture, but I am sure that you enjoyed Final Fantasy Eorzea Cafe in Akihabara with your daughters. Malaysia is not far from Japan. Please come to Tokyo again in near future. Best regards, Toshihiro

“ Stressed free visits around Tokyo, Hakone, Kamakura and Enoshima Island ”

Toshihiro-san or uncle Toshi is like family bringing you around Tokyo. Not so formal but more like a friend. Great communication up to the travelling day and he answered a lot of questions from me. My family and I have some requirements due to our travelling pack but Toshi-san accomodate us completely. Hakone have beautiful mountains and excellent My Fuji view, Kamakura have beautiful shrines, Enoshima island have great view and night light show, and Tokyo was a blast. Toshi-san shared a lot of Japanese histories as we walk around the path. We had great farewell dinner eating Wagyu at Gyumon in Shibuya for our parting. I will separate my review for others convinience below; 1) Family with children with stroller/Pram Toshi-san helped us navigate the maze of Tokyo by helping to search fo... read more

Toshihiro:

Dear Azhari-san, Thank you for the detailed tour review, and calling me uncle Toshi. It was amazing three days for me to guide your family. Sometimes I made mistakes during the tour especially directions to go with stroller, but you generously assisted me many times. You gave me a lot of information like where you would like to visit and what you would like to do clearly. I could make preparation well. But we needed to change original itinerary because my estimation of spending time on each spot was not right. In spite of such situation, you seemed to enjoy the tour as if something unexpected is pleasure of travel. Thank you very much. I visited your country Malaysia once about ten years ago. It was interesting time to compare your tropical resort island Langkawi with Enoshima. ... read more

“ Very worthwhile ”

We had Toshi as a personal guide around Tokyo for 6 hours after we landed. He met us at our hotel and showed us some main attractions as well as less known ones. The day was not rushed, yet we saw many sights. We learned how to use the rail network system and Toshi related really well with our whole group, including 2 teenagers. Such a great investment and I would really recommend having his local expertise help to settle into a busy city. Thank you so much, we still talk about that great day!

Toshihiro:

Dear Tanya-san, Thank you for the glorious tour review and hiring me as a your tour guide in spite that you were very tired of early morning arrival after over night flight. I went to Australia several decades ago in 1985, and it was nice and useful information that you explained me how your country has changed. I was impressed with your good skill of using chopsticks. It was only 6 hours tour, but amazing time for me. Best regards, Toshihiro

“ The day around Tokyo ”

Had a fantastic day with Toshihiro-san as our private guide. He was very well planned and organised. Toshi knew exactly where to take us, very knowledgeable. We saw so much of the city that we would not have been able to see by ourselves. Highly recommend Toshi as your guide. Thanks again Toshi.., regards Steve and John

Toshihiro:

Dear Steve-san and John-san, Thank you for the wonderful tour review. It is my pleasure to introduce this city Tokyo to the people in the world. I also enjoyed the tour. You sometimes asked me high-level questions about Japanese history and culture. I am relieved by reading your comment that I am knowledgeable. I felt that I need to study harder to explain Japanese history and culture more clearly. Best regards, Toshihiro
