We had a great morning with Junku. She added some extra stops to our itinerary when we were running ahead of schedule, brought us maps / recourses on the city, offered to take photos at the best places, and booked us a sushi lunch to enjoy once the tour was over. Very knowledgeable guide!
Thank you for a wonderful review, Christine! I was very glad to introduce Tokyo to you and your husband. Hope you will come back to Japan with your children for skiing! Thank you. Junko
