Had an absolutely amazing time on the Kamakura walking tour, guided by the excellent Yoshie! Yoshie was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and was ready to answer any and all questions we had along the way. The length of the tour and the pacing was perfect - the 3.5 hours flew by! You get to see a good mix of interesting Shinto and Buddhist sites, with a fun walk through the shopping/restaurant district in between. The setting is also quite different from central Tokyo, so I can highly recommend making the trip out to do this tour.

Loved our tour with Meeyou — she was incredibly warm, kind, helpful and shared insights both as someone who knows about the culture but also the life of a local in Tokyo. It was a beautiful, scenic tour and we went around in some of the most photogenic parts of the town we have seen over the last 1 week in Tokyo. We loved our experience and would highly recommend.

Emi was an excellent guide, so lucky to have got her in our tour today! Patient and knowledgeable, she explained so many interesting facts on Japan history, answered all our questions on culture, foods and fan facts, and gave us valuable recommendations on places and attractions. Amazing guide and fantastic person. Thanks Emi!

Thoroughly enjoyed the Flagship Tokyo walking tour with Yuko! Learnt so much about Japanese culture during the Edo period, shoguns, and how Edo (modern-day Tokyo) was like. Yuko also explained some parts of modern-day Japanese culture which I appreciate! The walk was a liesurely stroll and was a great pace, which I think everyone would enjoy. Can't recommend Tokyo Localized tours enough! Really great! Thanks Yuko!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Exceptional Tour with Maki! We had just arrived in Tokyo the night before, and it was truly magical to begin our journey with Maki. From the very first moment, she brought the city to life with incredible history, meaningful context, and fascinating details that helped us understand Japan on a deeper level. Maki guides you through Akihabara and Ueno as if she were opening a book of living history—blending beautiful stories, cultural insights, and charming spots throughout the city. She explains the contrasts in architecture and the “why” behind the culture and traditions in a phenomenal way. The tour was simply extraordinary. It was absolutely worth it in every way, and I would follow Maki on her magical route a thousand times more! Highly, highly recommended! 🌟
