Toshi was a nice person but the entire experience was lackluster No education or insight into the area food or culture Essentially, it was dinner with a stranger. We had a guide in Kyoto and he provided handouts and a wealth of knowledge on Japanese culture history and food I do not like to provide sub par ratings but I found it difficult to say anything positive about this experience We informed him we could not drink for health issues and we ended up in a craft beer establishment So sorry for negative review but this is a true depiction of the experience
We had a great tour around key places in Tokyo with Toshi. He not only had a great route planned for us but also gave really interesting commentary about the sites, history, culture, etc. Highly recommend him!
Meg, Thank you very much for your nice comentary of today's tour. Please come back again, next time with your kids grown up!
Toshi was an amazing guide, our family had a great time with him around Mt Fuji and back to Tokyo! He was very knowledgeable and friendly for the whole family. Even though the weather was not good, he adjusted our plans and showed us a great time! Highly recommend Toshi!
Imagine that you just landed in Tokyo. You are exposed to a very fashinating but also very different culture. You want to try new things, and get along with the locals someway, but at the same time the language barrier, and which place to choose (too many in an immense town like Tokyo) hold you back from making the first move. With Toshi-san, you bypass the problem: you are literally transported into the heart of Japanese conviviality. Which is not only about what you eat and what you drink (both fantastic and unusual, by the way): you get the full atmosophere of the Japanese Izakaya, the smell of the burning barbeque, the noise of the locals chatting and relaxing after a day of work. You are there where you want to be, the real, non tourist, place. Toshi-san will make you feel so comfortable that at a certain point (after one beer or two) you will feel like you've been there for your whole life. Toshi-san's tour is mandatory for greeting Japan.
Stefano, Thank you for your wonderful review. I will take you to so many more different places when we meet next time!
