Japan Family Trip
Very helpful and great communicator with my teen son.
Akihabara tour with family!
Wonderful tour with Ken. Great guide! Very in depth discussion.
Ken is great!
Ken was a patient and well informed guide. He took the time to make sure that our experience was full of quality and historical context
A loud and fun afternoon in Akihabara
We did not know what to expect as the information from the travel agency was sparse but we ended up having a fantastic time with Tadashi in Akihabara. It was exciting for everyone and he spent many hours with us, completely focused on our interests and wishes.
Guided tour of Akibahara
Very friendly guide who really knew a lot about the history of Akibahara, as well as everything about anime, manga and games. He first asked what our interests were and based on that adapted the tour to us. Certainly recommendable!
