Our guide Aquiles was so knowledgeable about the Japan gallery artifacts! We asked so many questions as a group of five that we did not get to as many objects as we had wanted , but I appreciated him so much. I would tell the museum loving traveler to plan to stay at the museum most of day after the Context tour to see things, especially the archaeology.

Best guide ever. Profound but user friendly presentation of main cultural/historical themes which made for a rich and engaging tour

We met Rafael at the appropriate time, but there were only three members of our party out of six. It took several more minutes for all to arrive. Rafael was very patient and had no problem waiting for everyone. He gave us a history lesson on Japan with illustrations that were very easy to follow and absorb. It was the perfect preface to what we would be seeing in the Tokyo National Museum. We were so happy to have had this knowledge as we went through the museum. The Museum was laid out in the exact format of his history lesson. If we had gone through the Museum on our own, we would have missed so much. We actually all wished we had this tour at the front of our time in Japan as it explained so much!
