We had the pleasure of being guided by Aya during our trip to Tokyo, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. Aya's excellent English made communication effortless, and her knowledge of the city's hidden gems enriched our journey. She took us to numerous wonderful places, and every moment was filled with joy and excitement. I highly recommend Aya as a guide for anyone visiting Tokyo, as she made our time there truly exceptional. Thank you, Aya, for an amazing tour!
Aya was my tour guide and if I hadn’t met her I never would’ve got to experience Japan properly! I had so much fun traveling around that it didn’t even feel like I was on a tour! I had experienced food and events I never had eaten or visited before and I’m completely satisfied and happy that I had met Aya! I look forward to going to Japan again and being guided under Aya’s care!
Aya-san was super friendly and willing to take you anywhere you wanted! A positive person that knows how to adapt when there’s a hiccup in the tour (like a location being closed). I look forward to meeting her again!
I had a great time with Ayaka in May 2022! She took me around Tokyo and had many fantastic meals, drinks and conversations with me ? During my time in Japan, Ayaka was not only a helpful guide but also a true bestie to me! I will never forget our nights getting tipsy and laughing loudly together on izakayas! ✨ I can recommend Ayaka to anyone in search for a friendly and funny local to show you both the most popular and the hidden but very beautiful parts of Tokyo!
The tour with Yaya was really nice. I got to know flavors and places that I would never have found. Let's do it again!
Ayaku is a very positive and informative guide that is able to connect with everyone in the group. She mixes in historical context with local culture and treasures for you to experience. She is very communicative before the tour as well and can help you get the most out of your time together. We would highly recommend.
Ayaka is young, a native of Japan, and speaks perfect English. If you’re looking for the complete history of a certain temple, you might look for a historical guide, but if you want to explore Tokyo and see the street markets, local food, best shopping areas, she’s your girl. She took us down side streets, open air markets, onto the metro, and into shopping malls. My son and I had a blast!
I wish I was a better writer so I could do justice to just how wonderful Ayaka is, but I will do my best. We chose her because we really wanted our teenage daughters to get to spend a day like a typical Tokyo teenager. Ayaka customized the perfect day for us after I made my requests and it really was the best day ever. We just got back to the hotel from the “tour” and I wanted to write this review right away to express my appreciation. She took us shopping to so many cool stores we would not have been able to find on our own. The Wagyu beef bbq restaurant she recommended for lunch was absolutely perfect. She taught us all how to operate and play the taeko drum machines, claw machines, and Photo Booth at the arcade. We accidentally booked the wrong location for the Mipig cafe, and she was able to call and fix our mistake and make sure we still got to see the pigs. She is the world’s best karaoke partner. She even helped make appointments for other things that we needed later in the week. Of note- we have traveled all over the world and in our most exotic places we put ourselves in the hands of local guides. We always choose ones who advertise as fluent in English- and we have learned that depending on the country and the guide we selected, the actual fluency of the guide can vary. Ayaka was a Communications major at a university in California- her English is flawless. We absolutely adored her, and we hope from the bottom of our hearts that if she ever comes to our hometown of New Orleans that she will let us take her out for as perfect a day as she arranged for us. We will be returning home to Japan and we absolutely intend to make sure to book her for our entire trip.
We had an amazing family day out with Ayaka. We are a family of four with teenage kids (15 & 17). She took on feedback ahead of time regarding what we wanted to do and she planned a day full of exploring, eating and fun. Her English is excellent and she had great connection with our kids along with us. We visited shrines, restaurants, shops and a gaming arcade (so much fun!). Ayaka shared information and history about the areas we were going to and was patient with us as we looked around the areas and shops. She also had some great restaurant recommendations which we enjoyed for lunch and dinner. If you also want to learn to make sushi Ayaka can also help with this! She also took great photos of us as we went around which was great for the memories and photo album. We would highly recommend Ayaka for your personal tour around Tokyo. She was personable, flexible and knowledgeable. Everything we were looking for! Thank you Ayaka for a great day out.
Ayaka was a wonderful guide who helped us create a full itinerary totally tailored to our wants and needs... and we accomplished everything on our list! She was kind, helpful and just overall fun to be around. My adult daughters really enjoyed her fun-loving personality too. We all totally hit it off! A great day, all around Tokyo! Would 100% recommend her services.
Although I typically don't enjoy guided tours, Aya made the experience feel like a fun day out with a great friend. Thank you for an awesome day, Aya!
This was my first time in Tokyo and Aya took me and my friend all over Shibuya and Harajuku. She is a great tour guide, very nice and funny. We had an amazing time and Aya. She made us feel very welcome and I highly recommend her to anyone coming to Tokyo. Thank you Aya, look forward to seeing you again on my next trip.
Aya-san was very nice and we had a great time together. It was like going around Tokyo with a good friend. I could enjoy very much and whilst seeing the sights of Tokyo. I would highly recommend her and hope to see her again soon.
My guide Ayaka was fantastic and excellent communicator. She made the day fun and was full of information and knowledge. Very enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend.
I really enjoyed the day with Ayaka! Her guiding is very fun even from Japanese perspective. She has many kinds of experience in her life, so I never get tired of talking with her. If you are looking for real friend in Japan, I totally recommend you about her!
Yaya was both exceptional and accommodating. We had plenty of fun and delight between arcade games, izakaya food, and karaoke. She was also a great singer and socialite -- I hope to make more memories with her in the future!

Bar Hopping with Ayaka was entertaining. She made me feel comfortable and took me to many lovely places. I recommend it to anyone who wishes to enjoy the nightlife in Tokyo. The darts bar was fun, hope to go there again soon.
I asked Ayaka to take me to an owl cafe. Absolutely hysterical. Fun times, recommended.
Ayaka Is very patient and knowledgeable, I had a fantastic time in Japan I would definitely recommend Ayaka for anyone who is first time in Tokyo!
My son and I had an incredible day with Ayaka in Shibuya and Harajuku. Truly so much to take in… we could have gone for days! She went above and beyond for us, even helping to get my son’s glasses repaired when they broke mid-tour. I definitely recommend that you tour with Ayaka!
