Our guide Miyuki went above and beyond to fulfill our requests, including taking us to an Inu Cafe near Ameyoko, and it was such a fun experience. The cafe was a haven for dog lovers like us, filled with adorable and friendly furry companions. We were able to interact with the dogs, play with them, and even enjoy a cup of coffee in their company. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff made sure everyone had a great time. It was a perfect break from the bustling streets of Tokyo and added an extra element of joy to our Ameyoko tour. If you're a dog lover, visiting an Inu Cafe near Ameyoko is a must-do!

Miyuki met us at our hotel, and was an energetic guide for this wonderful private tour of some Tokyo gems. She taught us how to navigate the Tokyo trains, and guided us skillfully through the crowds. We saw Asukusa temple, with all its vendors and money changers outside, she showed us Tokyo Skytree, and a few others areas both popular and off the beaten path. On request she also took us through an area that had great kitchenware stores, and then to a smaller town named Yanaka which had wonderful feel. Miyuki also took us to a place where my husband had his first taste of sushi, and I had the best sushi of my life. I would definitely recommend booking a tour with her!
