Title: What Does a Private Tokyo Tour with Akihabara, Tsukiji, and Cherry Blossoms Look Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests were visitors interested in Akihabara, the anime town. First, we went to Tokyo Tower, and since the guests were interested in cherry blossoms, we walked from Tokyo Tower to the nearest station, Daimon, passing through Zojoji Temple. Along the way, a flower festival was being held, so we took some photos. After arriving at Tsukiji, we strolled through the streets and eagerly sampled tuna, dango, yakitori, grilled scallops, and rice crackers. Once the guests were satisfied, we moved on to Hamarikyu Gardens, where they thoroughly enjoyed the cherry blossoms they had been looking forward to. We arrived at Akihabara, the final destination, and after some explanation, the tour concluded.

Thank you for your entry in this tour. Nice to meet you in this mail.
Your tour guide Kappa is my nickname. Kappa is a traditional, imaginary creature who came into being in Japan over 300 years ago. She is good at swimming, like me, for I like swimming. I would like to make our tour operated smoothly as Kappa does when she swims in the river or pond. It is my pleasure to introduce many aspects in our tour, especially cooking, for it is my hobby and I went to the professional cooking and SAKE school, respectively. If you have any questions or requests about Japanese cooking, of course our tour, I am very delighted to answer to you anytime!

Viator review: Hakone 8 hour Private Tour with Government-Licensed Guide
Our guide, Kappa-san, modified the typical Hakone tour to accommodate our interests, and is very helpful and knowledgeable. Since the day was very hot (95°F / 35°C) we favored activities that were more shaded or cool, including a walk on a cedar-lined section of the old Tokaido path.

Viator review: Kamakura 4hr Private Trip with Government-Licensed Guide
Kappa, our guide met us at the train station and took us all over Kamakura. We saw shrines, the big Buddha, gardens, and the Oceanside! Kappa shared a lot of history about Kamakura, and it was nice to have this background when we were exploring these incredible sites! Highly recommend!

Tripadvisor review: Tokyo 6hr Private Tour with Government-Licensed Guide
My wife and I were treated to a wonderful walking tour of Tokyo with Kappa. Kappa was very accommodating in designing a tour specifically tailored to our interests. Kappa is a wealth of knowledge regarding the city history, temples and shrine, and Japanese art history. She is a lovely person too. I highly recommend Kappa if you want to learn about Tokyo
