Kahoko was an excellent guide, giving every assistance possible, very generous with her advice and time and great fun. We will be recommending Kahoko to our travel agent, and thank you very much for being a truly wonderful, knowledgeable and lovely person to spend a day with.
Kahoko led our party through an amazing 7 hour tour of West Tokyo. We could not thank her enough by the end of the day (24,000 steps!). My daughter planned key sites that she thought her 10 year old daughter would appreciate in the Shinjuku district, so we worked with Kahoko to formulate an efficient itinerary for a one day tour. Kahoko has experience in the service industry and is quite comfortable leading adults and children. She spoke clearly and understandably in English, paying attention to our every need, including our 10 year old's, making sure we all felt included and engaged. We met in the Hilton Shinjuku. After she made sure we had all our supplies: a hat, water and suntan lotion, we left for the subway on time. The outside temperature was about 35C (over 95F), with high humidity so we had to be prepared with the right clothing as well. Kahoko brought us ICOCA cards, which are cash cards like SUICA except these have English instructions for reloading money. Getting on and off the subway with these cards is very smooth and efficient. The cards can also be used on trains and in stores, like 7-11. We used over 1000 yen in one day traveling on the subway. Kahoko made us feel very comfortable throughout, herding us into the shade where possible and ensuring we drank enough water. She also watched the clock to keep us on our timetable, with sufficient time to visit each site. She preplanned a Shabu Shabu lunch, which involves cooking thin slices of beef and veggies in a hot pot. Reservations are a must. We hit all the hot spots including Shibuya crossing, Shibuya sky, Shinjuku including the 3D cat billboard, Harajuku, Takeshita street, the statue of Hachiko, the Meiji Jingu shrine and Omotesando street. A few other pointers. Papago is an outstanding app that translates about 20 languages (Japanese too) both in writing and speech. You must bring a garbage bag, toilets are very clean and bring a portable phone charger. Thank you for a great tour, Kahoko!
Thank you very much for the kind review! I am so impressed with you to give viewers such helpful and supportive information. Probably, they will have a better time in Tokyo with your advice because it's still very hot here even though it is already in September. I had such a lovely time with a terrific family like you. Every member has a wonderful character and ready to enjoy every occasion, so I just enjoyed every moment with you. As it was a very hot and humid day, you must have been quite tired , but nobody showed any shade of it, even your adorable granddaughter. It's not common and easy thing for most people. After the tour, I was wondering how your rest of the tour and your lecture was going. I am sure that it must have been great and successful. I never forget your kindness and hope your family's happiness. Please take care and come back to Tokyo again. Thank you, doc !!
Our day exploring Nikko with Kahoko was the highlight of our Japan trip. From the moment she picked us up in Tokyo, it was clear that we were in for a special experience. Kahoko’s meticulous planning and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our day was seamless and enjoyable. She organized everything with great care—from booking the train and arranging a special taxi to guiding us through breathtaking lakes, waterfalls, and stunning temples and shrines. Her deep knowledge of Japanese culture and history was evident as she shared fascinating stories and insights about her homeland. The day was perfectly rounded off with a beautiful lunch, which was not only delicious but also an excellent representation of local cuisine. Kahoko’s passion for her country and commitment to providing a memorable experience truly set this tour apart. If you’re looking for a personalized and enriching journey through Nikko, I can’t recommend Kahoko highly enough. She goes above and beyond to ensure an unforgettable experience.
Thank you very much for the kindest review! It was very encouraging for me and gave me another motivation for this job. Regarding our Nikko tour, I had been concerning for a week watching weather forecast. Still, thanks to an Italian lucky guy, there was no rain throughout the tour. Also, the typhoon vacancy made our tour enrich from Imperial summer villa to 200 steps to the tomb. It might have been a tough tour physically, but I enjoyed every moment with charming and promising young guys. As a mom of 3 kids, I found all of your presents' great job to produce such pleasant and splendid people. Here again, I appreciate from bottom of my heart you choosing me as a guide for your precious occasion. I just hope you safely arrive Hakone today and spend another joyful time there. I wish I will be able to see you again!
Kahoko is very, very good at her job. I don't think I have ever had a better tour guide. Her thoughtfulness and genuine love for Japan shined through every time she shared details about our destinations. It takes a special person to do this type of job, and Kahoko does it with her whole heart.
Thank you very much for another kindest review. It was really encouraging and gave me another motivation for the future tour. You are making such a terrific couple full of smiles and love. I had such a memorable lovely time with you. I hope you come back again soon. Until then, please stay fit and healthy!
