Mutoh was an exceptional tour guide who made our day in Tokyo truly unforgettable. His knowledge of the city was impressive, and he was able to share fascinating insights into Tokyo's history, culture, and hidden gems. Mutoh was also incredibly accommodating and patient. He was always willing to answer our questions and adjust the itinerary to suit our interests. We felt like we were exploring the city with a friend, rather than a guide. We highly recommend Mutoh to anyone visiting Tokyo. He is a true asset to the city and made our experience there truly special.
Nicola, Thank you so much for your warm to comment! ( It's too good to me! ) Guiding wonderful people like you around my country is always my pleasure and actually I enjoyed this tour so much. Please enjoy rest of your tour and I hope I can see you again somewhere in Japan!
Better late than never! Mutoh-san was truly a hidden gem. Every time I reached out to him, he responded promptly. My husband and I traveled to Tokyo in November of last year. Unfortunately, our flight was postponed, causing us to miss our first day in Japan and, subsequently, our scheduled tour with Mutoh. I contacted him while we were still in our home country to reschedule, and thankfully, he was available on our new date. He was incredibly accommodating to our needs and preferences for the tour. He took us to every place we requested and offered excellent recommendations, going above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic experience. Mutoh-san is thoughtful and sweet—during our tour, I was pregnant, and at one of the train stations, he went out of his way to get me a small keychain that indicated my pregnancy in Japanese. This thoughtful gesture allowed people on buses and trains to see it and offer me their seat, which was incredibly kind! Thanks to Mutoh-san, our trip to Japan started on a high note. He was the best tour guide we had throughout our entire trip. We highly recommend him!!
Cami-san, Thank you so much for your warm words. And thank you for remembering me. I also remember going around Yanaka and Asakusa with you two and eating many different street foods. It was very hot in Japan this summer, how was it in Florida? Please come back to Japan again with your family. Please let me guide you around again at that time!
It is our first time in Japan. We are family of four, sons are almost aduts. Mutoh helped us a lot to get the first feeling of Tokyo. It was an excellent start of our jurney through Japan. He explained to us metro sistem, how to go around without stress. We visited Tsukiji market, Senso-ji shrine, Meiji Jingu shrine, took us to Kappabashi street to buy knifes and to delicious ramen for lunch when we were hungry. He was very kind and had a lot of understanding for our needs and wishes. It was a great day. I would recommend Mutoh to everybody. Thank you. Hvala. (in our language)
Karmen-san, Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm more than happy if you and your beautiful families enjoyed your first day in Tokyo. It's a lot of pleasure for me to tour with happy family and I enjoyed it as well. And I hope you enjoy rest of your stay in Japan, hopefully it will be not so hot, and your challenge of climbing Mt.Fuji will compete safely! Thank you again for joining my tour. ARIGATOU GOZAIMASHTA!
Mutoh was very generous with his time, flexibility with itinerary, extensive local knowledge and provided help with other tour recommendations. I recommend him highly.
Brent san, Thank you so much for your warm comment. And thank you so much for your great photo you sent me after your cart ride. I really love it. I believe you enjoyed rest of your stay in Tokyo and got back to home safely. Hope come back to Japan again and let you guide other view of Japan! Thank you so much. Arigato Gozaimashita.
