If you're looking for a tour guide who has local knowledge and who is fluent in French & English, Mr. Kazu H. is the right one for you. Kazu-san was engaging and fun to talk to, and made us feel welcome and safe. He even helped me go to the post office to buy some postcards and postage stamps so I can send them to my friends back home. We visited the Imperial Palace Gardens and I had an enjoyable time taking photos of the scenery and saw some very colorful koi fish. Kazu-san was also very patient with me asking about the Samurai class, Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu and my questions about the big business conglomerates of Japan (i.e. Mitsui, Mitsubishi, etc). One memorable part of the tour is when Kazu-san took us to Mitsukoshi Department Store in the Nihombashi area, and explained how it is a symbol of luxury in Japanese Culture. I was very happy to get beautiful Japanese Sweets by Kasho Hanami, and Mitsukoshi-exclusive macarons by Laduree. My sister was very happy to get herself a Laduree macaron set featuring the Mitsukoshi Lion (only available at the Laduree counter in Mitsukoshi's depa-chika). Another memorable experience is when Kazu-san also took us to Sushizanmai at Tsukiji Market for an authentic sushi lunch experience. We sat at the counter and watched our sushi chef prepare us delicious sushi. It was a lovely experience, especially for my sister because it was her first time to visit Japan. Since we requested to see the Ryogoku Kokugikan Sumo Stadium even though no Sumo Tournaments were happening, Kazu-san took us there and we were able to get souvenirs for ourselves at the giftshop. We also enjoyed the Sumida Hokusai Museum and spent some time viewing the exhibits and seeing high-quality replicas of famous wookblock prints. Just walking through the neighborhood where the Sumida Hokusai Museum was located was very enjoyable and memorable. Kazu-san was also very kind to take us to the Great Kanto Earthquake Memorial Museum as this was our special request; we like to learn the reason why Tokyo has so many new buildings. My sister and I had an excellent time doing touristy stuff (sightseeing, picture-taking, shopping), while learning about the history of the Edo Period sites. Thank you Kazu-san for making our trip to Tokyo fun and memorable!

We had a wonderful, long day. Show was an excellent guide. Apart from yhe marvellous things we saw, we learned how to use the IC card and use the bewildering (at first) public transport system. I chose 3 place far from each other, but Show mapped a course that got us everywhere we went. For me the standout highlight was the Hokusai Museum, but also loved the Edo-Tokyo Outdoor Architectural Museum.

We were guided by Shinji and he did an excellent job of communicating with us prior to the tour and tailored it to what we were looking for. Great day touring and seeing the sites and very worth the money. The guide’s English was excellent as well.
