We hired Keiko for a 2 day tour of Tokyo. She was prompt on both days and showed us many of the typical Tokyo sights. Her English was also very good and easily understood. She helped us navigate the subway system with no problems. We would definitely recommend her for other tourists.
Following the Golden route, we booked Yoshi for a second day with this Silver route. Same energy, same distance walked (12km) and so many things to remember. And a highlight to end the day with the visit of Kyoto rail station, a must see in my view before a final dinner at the local restaurant! Thanks Yoshi, this was a wonderful day.
With Yoshi as guide, the only think you need is a good pair of shoes. Be ready to walk to visit many sites, discover the differences and the similarities and remembering the different Shogun eras :) What a day this was, we took train, taxi, we walked 13 km and we saw wonderful things. In addition to this, we learned a lot about Japan history! Thanks Yoshi!
On a long trip, we found necessary to alternate big cities (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka) with medium size city. And Kanazawa was on the map on the loop to go from Tokyo to later visit Takayama region. We booked this tour as we did not have a lot of time (only an afternoon) and Yoji was waiting for us at the station when we deboarded the Shinkansen. A very efficient and wonderful tour of the city, the canals, a beautiful garden and quite a lot of rain that day! Yoji was really knowledgeable and we had a great time discussing many differences between living in Canada and in Japan. The only downside? It was too short!
