I am a professional chef and a food journal writer, obviously, all the normal trips will not interested me at all. This wasabi field trip with Ms. Yasuko was an extraordinary one as we had a chance to see the process of how the wasabi was cleaned, prepared and packed. I was impressed. The wasabi farms were also gorgeous to see!
We selected Atsushi as our guide and could not be happier. Having not been to Tokyo before and being from the US we could never have seen as much in 8 hours as we did with a local. Atsushi has very good English and has a very pleasant nature. He takes the time to explain the history and the local customs. I want to point out that he customized our day based on our preferences. For instance we wanted to have Ramen for lunch so he suggested a very nice lunch stop. We would hire him again and strongly encourage you to do so.
Thank you very much for your appreciation. I just wanted you to know the background of Japanese culture, history, and people. I was also shocked by your extensive knowledge of Japanese history. Your visit to the Tokyo National Museum will be even more meaningful and insightful. I hope you thoroughly enjoy your stay in Tokyo.
Taking the tour with Kuni was an incredible experience that allowed us to eat and drink at local restaurants that you wouldn’t be able to find if visiting. We went out with Kuni at the beginning of the trip and he provided us a lot of useful tips that helped make our visit to Japan even better. Kuni was very nice and catered the itinerary to make sure we had the best night. Highly recommend booking!
Evan, thank you for the review!! I hope you have enjoyed the trip after the tour! I had a really really fun time with you two! It was my first time that I counldn't drink more than the guest.(haha) Hope you liked Japan and wishing you coming back!^^ Best regards, Kuni
When we booked Akira in Tokyo for two days he made sure we understood that his tours require lots of walking, and he wasn’t lying. However, I don’t think we could have gotten a better experience any other way. Akira shows you the historic sites as well as off the beaten path areas that helps one understand both history and current culture. By the end of the day you look back and realize you’ve trekked through half of Tokyo learning new and interesting things. Only then do you understand why all of a sudden you’re so tired. We had a wonderful time with Akira, he even took great pictures and shared them with us which is a bonus. Strongly recommend!
