Guide: Yukari Ito and Atsushi Adachi
Route: Day 1: Zozoji – Asakusa – Senso-ji – Ueno-koen – Tokyo National Museum; Day 2: Tsukiji Market, sushi restaurant – Meiji-Jingu – Takeshita Street – Omotesando – Oriental Gardens of Imp.Palace

It was our first stay in Japan.

After a few preliminary emails, each tour was exactly what we wanted: kind persons, right on time, who did all their possible to guide us where we were interested to go. For our first days, it was very useful too to learn how to use the Tokyo subway, refill Suica cards etc.

During these few hours, we could be informed about many important things as well as details concerning history, customs or everyday life in Tokyo.

Thanks a lot to these two friendly Japanese, who helped us. We recommend them with pleasure, and if they come in France, we’ll be very pleased to guide them too. Thanks to TFG!

Dear Takuya-san,

We want to thank you for your free time in guiding us during our stay in Tokyo in February. We enjoyed riding the subway all over Tokyo and visiting shrines,temples, Ginza district, park and the Tokyo tower. Your planing was extremely well done and you were a very pleasant guide. You deserve a promotion but as you are a retired gentlemen we wish you a long, active and healthy retirement. We will cherish for many years to come our visit in Tokyo.
Sincerely,

Guide: Michiyo Chida and Setsuko Kawaguchi
Route: Day 1: Harajuku – Shibuya – Asakusa – Hama Rikyu Garden; Day 2: Kamakura – Tokyo Tower – Odaiba (onsen); Day 3: Tsukiji – Ryogoku – Fuchu (classic concert); and Day 4: Imperial Palace – Ginza – Ueno

Dear TFG,

Regrettably it is time for me to leave Tokyo.
Although I have travelled widely in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia, this was my first trip to Japan. Even when travelling alone in the past, I have fared well, but my time in Tokyo surpasses those earlier travels and exceeded all my expectations due to the deep knowledge, wisdom and professionalism of Mrs. Michiyo Chida and Mrs. Setsuko Kawaguchi. They enriched my time in Tokyo immeasurably and led me to start thinking of when I can return – even before I have left.

I think your organization is marvellous – and very clever too – because these ladies have been such outstanding ambassadors for Japan and her people that I know that I will return. My return will be primarily because of the warm guidance that Michiyo and Setsuko have imparted during my short stay. Their insight into my needs showed great wisdom and intelligence.

Thank you for your help – and in particular I thank you for allowing me to share my time in Tokyo with these two lovely, clever, hard working ladies. As the photographs show, my time with them was marvellous.

Sincerely,

Judi from Melbourne
