What to Expect

Tokyo has a lot of attractions!! However, it may be difficult for international tourists to look around the city for a limited amount of time on their own. This tour is designed for first-timers to see some of the most popular tourist spots effectively within several hours.

I will take you to some of my best, favorite places in Tokyo, such as the lively Tsukiji Fish Market, the old temple Sensoji, Mecca of fashion Harajuku, and breathtaking city view from Tokyo Tower....etc. On the tour you can absorb various aspects of old and modern culture in Tokyo in just one day.
After the tour, you will get to know the overview of the transportation systems in Tokyo. That will help you to look around the city on your own for the rest of your stay.

*The itinerary can be changed according to your interest or preference.

“ Riko was an additional treat to a wonderful day in Tokyo ”

Riko is obviously a very professional tour guide who keeps her client's safety and wishes as her highest priority of the day. Her warm and caring personality just gives her tours an extra treat for the day. My family used Riko's services as a private guide for a day and she provied a valuable Tokyo experience as well as a good time for our short stay. She certainly would be highly recommended by us. -Neal Werner-

Riko:

Dear Neal-san, Thank you so much for sending such warm words to me! I myself enjoyed accompanying you all this time. You and your family are sweet and pleased to be with. Particularly, I was impressed with your consideration not only for your family, but also for me. It was a very fun tour for me, but I regretted only one thing on our tour. That is my choice for lunch. You told me that your family loved sushi, so I took you all to a sushi restaurant, but you don't really like raw fish! I though that you also liked sushi, but you actually don't. If I knew it, I would have chosen another restaurant for all of you. Although you didn't show any discontent to me, I felt sorry for you. I appreciate your big heart. This time was a short stay in Japan for you. Japan has more things to see. I hope to see you again and have a chance to show you more attractions including a nicer restaurant for you, Neal-san! Thank you again, Riko.

“ Lost and found ”

Riko led myself my wife and our 2 sons both in there late 20s around Tokyo. She managed to find something for everyone from Samurais to Sumo to Honda robots. We followed our visit to Tokyo with a 8 day guided ski trip. The ski trip guides could no believe how much we saw in Tokyo in 3 days. Looking back on the photos either can I. The most amazing thing happened when my wife left a bag with post cards on a tram ride around the city. We just figured that they were lost, end of story. The next day Riko came to our hotel with them. She called the lost and found. It followed in Japan that the bags with the cards had been turned in. On her own time Riko retrieved them and returned them to us. You can't get any better care than that. Thank you Riko.

Riko:

Dear Rick, Thank you very much for sending such a wonderful comment for me! I'm grad to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Tokyo and the ski resort. As you say, it's not so easy to accommodate all different interests of different generations. But your sons are so nice, they didn't complain at all even they were taken to the places that they were not so interested in (at least to me!?). I appreciate your generosity all. When I received the bag with the post cards at the office of the train station, I was also very happy. Because I could not only give it back to your wife but also prove how honest Japanese people are. It was very nice to meet you all this time. I hope to see you all again some time in the future. Thank you again, Rick!! Riko

“ Day tour of Tokyo ”

We had an excellent day with Riko. She was very flexible and could accommodate all of our requests to see certain sights in Tokyo. Her English was very good and we had great conversations about the locations we visited. We would highly recommend her as a tour guide.

Riko:

Dear Linda, Thank you so much for taking time to post your review on the website for me! It was short time though, I hope you could grasp what the city of Tokyo is like. If you came to like Tokyo, please come back and see more attractions of Tokyo and Japan. Say hi to your husband! Hope to see the both of you again! Riko

“ Trip through Tokyo with Riko! ”

We had a great day walking our way through some of the highlights in Tokyo with our guide Riko. It was a beautiful day and the 8 hours flew by. We were taken to many of the places Riko suggests on her private tour, but she was also able to change some of the destinations to suit our party of 8. She taught us how to buy tickets and navigate our way through the subways which can be quite daunting. She is very knowledgeable and her English is good and I would highly recommend her to others who may want to see Tokyo is a day. Thank you for showing us around Riko we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Riko:

Dear AMY, Thank you so much for having me as your guide the other day! I'm glad to hear that you all enjoyed the tour. I also enjoyed showing you around in Tokyo. You were a big group with 8 people including young children. Talking to each of you was fun and I learned many things from you all. The four children are so cute and behave well. I believe that you have disciplined them properly. I hope that you had a enjoyable vacation this time and see you all again in the near future. Say hi to everyone! Thank you again for sending your review, AMY!! Riko

“ Terrific Tokyo with Riko ”

Okay, so if you have a husband and two adult children traveling with you that all have very different interests, then Riko is the guide for you. Our four day tour was an unforgettable experience! Riko made navigating hectic Tokyo not only a breeze but tons of fun. We were satisfied with points of interest from Imperial gardens and Shinto shrines to cat cafes and coffee shops. The stress free trip and Riko's attention to detail was immaculate including a day trip to Mt. Fuji with a private driver. Riko is not only a fantastic tour guide, but we are honored to call her our friend! Thank you Riko!!

Riko:

Dear Diane, Thank you so much for taking your time to post such a wonderful review for me! I am very very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour with me. I myself had a great time with you and your family. What I was impressed with you is your thoughtfulness and generosity. Once I made a mistake train to the sumo stadium (believe me, I usually don’t make that kind of mistake!). That was a quite big problem because of the schedule of the tournament. But any of your family members complained about my mistake, just smiled and forgave me. I really felt that I was lucky to have such a generous client. It was nice meeting you all this time. One of the greatest things to be a tour guide is that meeting wonderful people from all over the world. The time with you was truly an unforgettable experience to me as well. Diane, you are fabulous mother, wife and my friend (let me call you so) with a beautiful heart. Thank you again for having me as your guide this time. I hope to see you all again sometime in the future! Riko
