Best guide in Tokyo!

Published on Nov, 2024

Our guide was so professional and knowledgable! She came prepared with a notebook of photos of the various buildings that she showed us, photos of the architects and other of their projects, and a passion for architecture that was infectious! She has obviously made a study of architecture and her enthusiasm was evident. Her english was excellent as well, which made it easy for us!

Taka is Tokyo

Published on Aug, 2024

Taka is truly an expert and gem of architecture in Tokyo! He really knows the historical references, hidden gems and best insta shots. He was very knowledgeable and curated our tour based on our interests in the heat of Tokyo. Could have walked in and out of buildings for hours to learn more about the cool, interesting buildings in Tokyo. Thank you Taka for showing us your Tokyo!

Great tour for anyone interested in architecture

Published on Jul, 2024

Yoshi was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. He had great pictures and information ready. He knew every detail of the construction and architecture we looked at.

Great Architecture Tour with Yuki!

Published on Jun, 2024

Yuki was the sweetest person I met in Japan. She gave us a fantastic private architecture tour and brought us to some very cool buildings with very creative details that we would not have seen during our own exploration. Yuki absolutely loved architecture and was very passionate about the material she spoke about. It was a great experience. She also allowed me to complain about the heat and humidity without getting frustrated and suggested multiple stops to get something cold to drink and cool off in the air conditioning! Thank you Yuki.

Modern Architecture Tour

Published on Jun, 2024

Omotesando, often referred to as Tokyo’s Champs-Élysées, is renowned for its stunning architecture, high-end boutiques, and sophisticated atmosphere. Our family recently embarked with our guide Mari on an architecture tour of this stylish district, and it proved to be a delightful and educational experience for everyone. Mari made the architecture tour of Omotesando an enriching experience that offered a blend of high-end modern design and thoughtful traditional elements. Each building we visited had its unique charm, making the tour engaging for both adults and our teenage children. The district’s mix of cultural and commercial spaces ensured that there was something for everyone. Mari allowed us to enter shops that we found interesting and offered us advised on nearby areas that we would enjoy. We highly recommend this tour for families looking to explore Tokyo’s architectural gems in a vibrant and sophisticated setting.
