Tokyo Highlight for Everyone - Highly recommended. One of my favorite activities in Tokyo when I visited Japan last summer. Miley's tour is truly unique and offers an entertaining and informative introduction to different parts of Tokyo. The pace of the adventure is well-planned so there's always something new to see and do - from trying delicious food at small restaurants that most visitors probably wouldn't find on their own to singing English and Japanese songs at karaoke to simply strolling by the river when so much of Tokyo is beautifully illuminated at night. The secret ingredient of the experience is Miley's amazing personality, which ensures that every participant has a great time. I enjoyed the Asakusa tour so much that I took it a second time when I returned to Tokyo at the end of my trip. On a future visit to Tokyo, I'd love to try the Akihabara and Ueno tours as well. 行ってみたい

Smiley time! - I learned some new historical facts during our Ueno/Asakusa tour, despite visiting such places many times before. The karaoke time was fun and dinner was great too. It is a nice intimate tour for small groups. Next time I'll try her other tour offerings.

Best Tour in Tokyo. - The best tour in Tokyo with the best guide in Tokyo. You get to experience many main parts of Japanese life such as Karaoke and authentic Japanese cuisine, some of which regular tourists might not know about! You also learn about the rich history of Asakusa whilst visiting places that a lot of tourists probably miss. You experience all this whilst be guided by an energetic and always happy guide who cares and is a joy to be around. A must visit tour for anyone visiting Tokyo.

The Miley experience in Asakusa! - I decided to join Miley's tour during my visit in Japan and it was one of the highlights of my trip. Miley has a magnetic energy which makes her the perfect guide. Engaging, cheerful and knowledgeable. Check her YouTube channel to learn more about her. I had already visited Asakusa and the Sensoji temple alone during my first time in Japan, but Miley manage to share information about the site that were new and interesting to me. We spent about the first two hours of the tour roaming around the area, taking photos and learning about its history. We then went to karaoke for an hour, where Miley showcased her idol background while also cheering on the participants during their performances. Wrapping up the official part of the tour was a quick pitstop at a nearby restaurant. We got to try to roll an omelette (good luck!) and share some food (fried chicken, steak, etc). If you are lucky enough, Miley might be working at her ninja bar afterwards. If it is the case, I encourage you to go. You can then wrap up your day sharing drinks with the other participants of the tour, regulars and past participants of the tour who come back for another evening at this great little spot in the Asakusa yokocho. I must also command Miley for the way she handles the participants before and after the tour. She is very efficient and clear in her way to communicate with the participants and you will quickly feel like you are exchanging emails with an old friend.

Miley Uses Ninjitsu To Give You The Best Experience - Miley always has been able to captivate me personally. From the moment I met her I could tell this is someone that I enjoy spending time with. If you've ever seen her videos on Youtube, you would quickly find out that she's the same on Youtube as she is for her Smiley Walk Tours. Her personality is cheerful and inviting, always smiling and giving off her own Miley Aura! This is the second time I've been on tour with Miley and it always is interesting. Miley's actual historical tour information is always evolving and always getting more specific. So even if she's explained something before, you may not know all that she knows now. One thing that was particularly interesting this time around, since Miley knew it was my birthday, she found out I share my birthday with the completion of Tokyo Sky Tree. It was amazing! Ninja Miley took us through Asakusa taking time to point out specific landmarks with historical information as well as a lot of the tourist information. I now know the difference between temples and shrines as well, do you? If not go on her tour!!! Outside of the historical information Miley takes you to really fun places to enjoy some of the more contemporary cultural aspects of Japanese culture. For this we went to karaoke and it's always a blast sharing this time with Miley and the other participants because everyone cheers everyone else on and it's just a fun time. Following karaoke we went to an izakaya type restaurant this time. We all had an opportunity to do rolled eggs, which none of us were able to do because it's tough. We shared appetizers and had some drinks. Miley, even arranged for the staff to wish me a happy birthday with some ice cream and sparklers. Then everyone sang happy birthday to me. It was a really special time! Finally finishing up the tour at Miley's bar. I highly recommend this. I didn't get to do this last time but this time I made sure I had no plans so I could experience it. Drinking with fellow ninjas and friends that Miley has brought together either through being regulars at her bar or people that have been on tour with her and it creates a wonderful atmosphere that is just so inviting and it's like being with friends or family that you've known forever. I can't wait to go on my next tour and buy another round of Samurai drinks for everyone! - Alan Mizuko, Smiley Walk Tour, Ninja in Training

Smiley-Tour & Destinations, with an Idol - The Smiley Tour and Smiley Destinations 6 day tour was brilliant. Miley san is an experienced Tour Guide , and very knowledgeable with a great sense of humour and friendlyness. The best was the boat tour with a meal, and visiting the Shogun Studios, and being able to blend in with looking like a traditional character from the shogan era. Finished off with a great traditional Idol show from Miley and other Idols. Highly recommended especially in Asakusa.
