First and foremost, I want to express my respect and gratitude to our guide, "DAI," who led us and provided a wonderful private tour, despite our limited Japanese and English skills. We initially thought it would be a group tour, so we went without much expectation, simply hoping to enjoy the sights. However, due to the hot weather, the other team didn't show up, and it unexpectedly turned into a private tour. We were a bit flustered by the language barrier, as the guide kept explaining things, but we were deeply touched by his kind and detailed explanations, which he patiently provided as we diligently tried to understand using a translator. Thanks to him, we were so engrossed and enjoyed the tour so much that the two hours flew by, creating a memory we'll cherish forever. DAI is incredibly knowledgeable about Japanese history and possesses a great sense of duty. He also took fantastic photos for us and recommended local restaurants and attractions. Meeting him was truly a stroke of luck. Thank you once again. -Choi Hong-man

Just spent an amazing afternoon with Camille making 2 rings from coins. Camille was simply superb. She took care to help me choose the coins, then she walked me through the process of forming the ring. She took the time to explain every process and supervise me to make sure the piece is made to perfection. She paid extra attention while polishing the rings and the final product was just surreal. Overall would 100% recommend and if you’re ever there just ask for Camille!!

This was an AWESOME experience. Hiyori was my teacher is she was super sweet and encouraging. I never felt rushed and was always supported. As an English speaker, everyone spoke English wonderfully. All the staff were nice and connected with everyone they spoke too. I also came alone and it was not weird.

absolutely loved it! I wanna do it again ! Staff super cool and friendly , they offer u a go pro for a little extra charge if you want record your driving in a video, I took my own n borrowed their tripod clip thing. The guide takes pics n video of you through out. It’s very safe. And you go through the scramble a couple of times . it’s a really good tour we drove past Takeshita street and Parco mall (which I hadn’t seen before) so that was nice. The look on pedestrian faces and pple waving to you makes you feel like a super cool person! loved every second from check in through to the end professional friendly staff. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

OMG! The best part of our trip to Shibuya. Should definitely experience this. Niko was our guide and he was amazing. Took so many amazing photos and made the drive around the chaotic city so easy. My daughter and I had the best of time. I would come back and do this again.
