Haydn was great. We saw everything in Shinjuku downtown that we’d hoped and extras we wouldn’t have found ourselves. Great info on the locations and help understanding various aspects of the culture as new arrivals that will help us on our time here. If you want to know what makes the Japanese tick you’ll find out all of that and more. Be prepared to walk into another world, another Tokyo. You won’t be disappointed. After our tour we found one of the street food cafes and sat outside lapping up the atmosphere. Highly recommend.
The tour guide was great and very socialable, had a lot of knowledge and general info about the area as well as the rest of tokyo and Japan. Gave good advice on places to go to afterwards as well.
Just arrived from Kyoto and the difference is amazing. So great to see another part of Japan and have an expert guide to show us the best sites. Kane was so informative. He gave us so much information and was happy to answer our questions also. There is no way we have seen any of these areas without him! A must do activity if you visit.
