Tour Reviews
Made a great time this time around on the tour! Our guide was fun to talk to and had lots of interesting facts and insights about the area. It was a relaxing and informative experience and we will happily recommend this tour
So glad we booked this! It was a much needed break from all the crowded areas my boyfriend and I have been exploring. Would have never known about this area but really happy to have discovered a new corner of Tokyo that I can recommend to my friends!
Cute little tour and far away from Tokyos crowd
You can do as little or as many things as you’d like. Very flexible!
Shibamata is so great and Melissa is such a nice person to meet. I really liked here, she knows a lot of information aswell. Great work, thanks !
