Thank you so much for reaching out! My days back home in Hawaii are treating me well — though I have to say Japan already feels like a dream I don't want to wake up from! 😊 Monica was absolutely wonderful. What made our time together so special was exactly what you described — Japan felt less like a tourist destination and more like a place a dear friend was showing me for the first time. One moment that stands out was when I got completely lost in Shibuya on my last night trying to find the Puma store. Monica had already prepared me so well during our full day together that even wandering lost through Shibuya on my own felt like an adventure rather than a disaster! Her knowledge of the city — the hidden gems, the local tips, even knowing that Don Quijote is open 24 hours when you need it most — made everything feel manageable and exciting. Monica has a warmth and genuine curiosity that made me feel completely at ease from the very first moment. She didn't just show me Tokyo — she helped me understand it. She listened to my stories, shared her own, and made me feel like I had a real friend in Japan. I would recommend Monica and TOMOGO without hesitation to anyone visiting Tokyo for the first time. She made my very first Japan trip truly unforgettable. Aloha from Hawaii! 🌺 Pam
Our tour with Mariana was amazing. We asked for a less touristy area and she accommodated. She took us to 3 different Buddhist temples and a 400 year old tea house (which was amazing) She was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely book again
This customized walking tour of Kagurazaka was a highlight of my trip to Japan. Monica was engaging and incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the neighborhood’s history, culture, and traditions to life through stories and local insights. The tour was customized to my interests, making it feel personal. If you’re looking to experience a side of Tokyo beyond the typical tourist sights, I recommend this tour.
