“We had a wonderful visit to the Tokyo Fish Market with our guide, Jim. He created a relaxed and easy-going atmosphere and shared many interesting insights into Japanese culture—both from a local perspective and from his experience as a foreigner living in Japan. Jim introduced us to a variety of foods we probably wouldn’t have tried on our own, and we truly appreciated his guidance and clear explanations. Overall, it was a fun and enjoyable tour in a small group of eight people, and we would gladly recommend it to others!”

He even brought us to the top of a building to enjoy views of a beautiful temple and the streets below. We had a wonderful day with him! We loved trying some treats in Asakusa and seeing its traditional temples and streets. We also explored the Imperial Palace Gardens and the Marunouchi area. It was pretty in the winter, can’t imagine what it looks like in the spring! Highly recommend.”
