Haru is very knowledgeable about the history of Japan and the many Tokyo public gardens. He guided us through the use of the subway system and city taxis. He did a nice job of not making us feel rushed as we have some mobility issues and it takes us a little more time to get around! Efficient use of public transit allowed us to visit 4 gardens in the six hour tour duration. We found the gardens serene and quiet, also uncrowded, and it was a relaxing tour. We would highly recommend it!

Naomi is a great guide with knowledge of Tokyo gardens to view Cherry Blossoms.
Naomi researched and suggested an itinerary that included visit to Imperial Place gardens that are open only certain days of the year.
We travelled by Metro and walked many miles to see Cherry Blossoms in many gardens. Due to clod weather prior to our visit majority of Cherry Blossoms trees were not blooming but Naomi still managed take us to many gardens as possible to see the blooming trees.
Highly recommend to ask for Naomi for your private garden walking tour as she did her homework to ensure we see many blossoming trees as possible including Imperial Place that was opened to public during our visit.
Please let Naomi know your physical abilities to walk many miles climbing up and down steps during planning as at end of our tour we were tired but glad Naomi took us to many gardens.

Matt was great. He truly wanted to make us see as much as we could in 6 hours and even more. He was very nice and knowledgeable. I recommend this tour if you are in Tokyo for just a few days.

LOVED our garden tour with MINURO, who was excellent! We started with the elegant and serene Imperial Palace East Garden, went to the Kagurazaka neighborhood for lunch, then saw the intimate and personal Rikugien Garden, and finished with the busy and bold Ueno Park. Minuro listened to what we wanted and planned accordingly. He taught and managed us through the train/subway system too. Great day, great guide!

We had a most wonderful day visiting several Japanese gardens around Tokyo. Koji was the perfect guide with excellent communication and preparation in advance of the tour. We visit several locations and really enjoyed the serene beauty of the gardens and the contrast with busy Tokyo. Thank you Koji! We definitely recommend this tour.

Kei was fabulous as our tour guide. He assisted me from the time I made the reservation in making the most of our day. He also recommended hiring a private driver. It allowed us to see 5 gardens in our allotted time. I highly recommend Kei, and it’s a great way to enjoy the beautiful gardens tucked inside a major city.

The garden tour was excellent- lots of variety and beautiful vistas to enjoy. Our guide Kazuo was very helpful. He navigated our way across the city with efficiency despite some very wet and windy weather.
We came to understand more of the history of each garden and its special features.
A five star experience
