Masaharu was a top notch tour guide for our day together in Tokyo. He knew the best spots and background of each site, including Tsukiji, Asakusa and much more. Our day was extremely hot and humid and he was very accommodating for our group, giving us time to rest and cool off when needed while still getting us to and from our multiple stops. You can't find a better guide. Thank you Masa!
Dear Jonathan, Thank you for your nice review and heart-warming words. It was my great pleasure sharing such a lovely time with you and your wonderful family around Tokyo. I also enjoyed learning a lot about your amazing way of life in US. I hope you will further have fun touring around Tokyo for the rest of days and bring good memories back home. Wishing you and your family all the best!
Thank you so much Masa-San for 2 wonderful days in Japan! Our family of 7 had great memories to visit Hakone and Tokyo the first time. We even learn and enjoy to navigate Metro and train in Tokyo. Masa-San help us to organize the trip 2 months before our visit. He is very dedicated to make sure all of my 5 children have a good time and enjoy best food in Japan. I highly recommend Masa-San and his tour. His English is excellent. Thank you very much. Tuyet Nguyen.

I had one day in Tokyo, and best thing I did was to hire Masa to take me around. Don't bother to try to do this by yourself.
