Had a great time with our lovely tour guide. We started off in a building that sells collectibles, which we wouldn't have known about if it wasn't for our guide. After that, we headed off to a maid café where we got ourselves some lovely dessert in the shape of bears and bunnies. The chocolate latté was amazing! Really friendly maids despite not being able to speak English. Took some pictures with the maids and then continued to a nearby gaming hall where we dressed up for some purikura shots. We got good information about the Akihabara area and Japanese culture in general. Interesting to speak to a Japanese person about life in Japan. Overall a really great tour which I would recommend!

Tony was an exceptional guide for the day. We had planned and booked for a specific day. Tony contacted us a couple of days before and told us the weather was not going to be great but was willing to take us a day earlier when the weather and viewing would be much better. I can't say I have ever had that happen! He picked us up in a very comfortable vehicle which made the day's travel very easy. The itinerary he planned gave us views of the mountain from pretty much all sides and from places not nearly as many people go to. His insight about the area and the history was tremendous and added greatly to the day. We really could not have asked for anything more in a tour like this and I would not hesitate to recommend him fully to anyone

... what more can you ask for? We’ll keep the secrets of where we were taken, and what we ate, because it’s best that you discover this for yourself. Sid will guide you through some of the best food you’ll eat in Tokyo, with context and historical insights that make it all fit together perfectly. The tour itself was impeccably organised, and Sid was extremely welcoming and easy to get on with. The food was amazing - some things we’ve heard of but never tried, and others that were totally new and surprising to us. You’ll leave full and very happy.

My husband and 2 sons (ages 11 and 13) loved our virtual tour of Tokyo. Nino was a fantastic guide and filled the hour with historical, cultural and fun facts! She was able to keep all of us at all ages engaged. It was a welcome diversion for this time of no-travel and very few experiences in the world because of the pandemic.

While we were sad to have to cancel our July trip to Japan due to the pandemic, we found the process of working with Japan Awaits to be easy and efficient. I can't speak to the full experience since we weren't able to go, but filling out the form and our communication with the company was no problem. And their prompt and courteous response to our request for a refund speaks to their professionalism. We will definitely come back to ask for their help in procuring tickets to the Studio Ghibli Museum when we do finally make it to Japan! Fingers crossed for next summer.
