Our tour with Rafael was perfect! It was exactly what we were looking for on our first full day in Tokyo. Not only was it practical with how to use all of the transport modes and orient us to the flow of the city it was culturally enlightening. Rafael’s expertise in urban planning is what made this tour exceptional! Rafael spent time getting to know us and made the tour very personal. Thank you Rafa!

Miko provided us with an informative tour with access to the humble community ofYanesen and daily life in the community. We had a wonderful lunch together and learned of Japanese history and the role that Shintoism and Buddhism has in society. It was a full day of shrines and temples and daily life that only a guide of her caliber could provide. And beyond that she was gracious and fun to be with.

Rafael,an actively practicing Tokyo architect and professor, did a great job of showing us the real Tokyo. At our request,We skirted the major tourist attractions in crowds in favor of working class neighborhoods, and seldom seen shrines. Rafael’s pre-tour presentation was extremely helpful, thoughtful and informative. Highly recommend.
