An Unforgettable Tokyo Experience with Michie
Tripadvisor review: Tokyo 6hr Private Tour with Government-Licensed Guide
Thanks to Ms. Michie Tobita, we had the best guide in Tokyo. our Tokyo tour turned into an extraordinary and unforgettable experience.
I am originally from Tokyo but have lived in the U.S. for many years, and this time I brought three American relatives who don’t speak Japanese on their very first trip to Japan. Although I know Tokyo well myself, I honestly had no idea how to plan a route that foreign visitors would truly enjoy.

That’s when we met Michie. From several weeks before the tour, she carefully worked with me to adjust the itinerary, listening to our wishes and offering thoughtful suggestions. Because of that, we were able to look forward to the day with peace of mind. Even though our schedule was packed, everything moved smoothly and always on time, with transportation arranged perfectly at each stop. I was deeply impressed by Michie’s professionalism and her thorough knowledge of Tokyo.

What made the experience even more special was Michie’s fun and engaging stories, weaving in Tokyo’s history and Japanese culture. She has a wealth of knowledge, but explains everything in a way that is easy to understand, with humor that kept us entertained. My three relatives in their late 20s immediately warmed up to her, thanks to her bright and friendly personality.

At Tsukiji Market, we enjoyed a delightful breakfast at the street stalls. Not only did we savor the best sushi, but also takoyaki, fresh fruit, and even matcha coffee — all at very reasonable prices. My relatives were thrilled by the variety and flavors of Tokyo’s food scene.

We also visited many iconic spots such as the Imperial Palace, Ameyoko Market, Asakusa, and Tokyo Skytree. On top of that, Michie went out of her way to accommodate spontaneous requests, like taking us to see the Godzilla statue for one of my relatives who is a big fan. Her flexibility and professionalism were truly remarkable.

Another point we deeply appreciated was the sense of safety and comfort throughout the day. Traveling abroad can often be stressful, especially when it comes to transportation and language barriers, but Michie handled everything seamlessly. Her English was excellent, and my relatives kept saying it felt like “a tour designed just for us.” She was also attentive to safety and comfort, which made the entire day worry-free and enjoyable.

Even for me, there were places I had never visited before, and I found myself rediscovering just how wonderful Tokyo really is. Although it was a full-day tour starting early in the morning, the time flew by because it was so much fun. My relatives were overjoyed and all agreed: “When we come back to Japan, we definitely want Michie to guide us again!”

Michie, thank you so much. We are truly grateful for everything you did.

Great Private Tour around Mt. Fuji! Ask for Michie!
Tripadvisor review: Mt. Fuji Five Lakes Private Tour with Licensed Guide (Tokyo DEP)
Michie was a great guide for our Private Tour around the Mt. Fuji area yesterday. She was very knowledgeable about the history & culture of all the places we visited and went above & beyond to ensure that we were taken care of. Michie even went and tracked down a specialty toy store for us & helped to us to pick up a much sought after toy figurine. I’d enthusiastically recommend Michie if you’re planning a tour around the Mt. Fuji area.
