Good luck, Ayako-san! - We were Ayako-san's (tour guide)first ever tourists! Given that, she wasn't experienced but she definitely gave it her best. Two things we would like to point out. One, we think it would be better to decide on the duration at each destination. Some may want to stay longer than others. Two, looking at Otomo Tour's site, there seems to be too many typos. This may lead tourists' to disregard participation.

Akasaka Palace is a monument of Japanese history - Our tour guide, Ayako-san, was new to the job but very calm and flexible. We especially enjoyed the Akasaka Palace.

Tokyo trip - We visited Otani garden, akasaka palace and a museum( talk about history in meji times) I like Akasaka palace the most, this is the place where Japanese government welcome foreign visitors and It just open to public in 2016. in this private tour, our tour guide is very responsible and trying to answer all the questions we have, it is a 4 hour tour, really hardcore but very interesting. It includes both history and sightseeings!

Lovely tour of Japanese Gardens & Museums - We had a lovely tour of Japanese Gardens, the Asakusa Palace, and the Meij Memorial Museum. Our guide, Sayaka, was enthousiast and happy to answer our many questions. I learned a lot about Japanese culture. Certainly would like to do another tour with Otomo!

Nice tour to learn about culture and history - It was a really good tour. We visited a traditional garden, the Akasaka palace and the Meiji memorial gallery. As a history enthousiast, I was pleased, since we learned a lot about the background of the places we visited. The guide was very nice and knowledgeable. Overall I had a really good time.
