Kousei was a great host! Even though it was overcast and we weren't able to see Mt Fuji we all had a fantastic time, he was funny and made sure everyone who wanted one got pictures of ourselves in all the scenic locations! He wished one of the guests a happy birthday and got us all a little gift to commemorate the experience. I will definitely be back if I'm in Japan again!

We loved trying on the Samurai outfits and the ninja star throwing competition along with learning about the history of the samurais and the different classes below them.

It started from the booking that went super smoothly. The directions were very clear and on the day all staff were super friendly and helpful. The bus driver was delightful and the tour guide was just the right amount of everything! Just enough information, super interesting for both first time visitors and long term residents. The tour content was great since we only had half a day available in Tokyo! 4 hours well spent at the Imperial Palace garden, Tokyo tower and Asakusa!
