Nonoka was amazing - very friendly, kind and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the tour and all the stops along the way. It was full of fascinating historical insights, and she made everything engaging and easy to follow. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re unable to enter the Palace on a Monday.

Keiko was a great tour guide and did a good job. Well worth the $20 I paid for the tour. It was nice to have someone show me around the grounds.

Both the explanation of Tokyo Station and the historical insights into the Imperial Palace Outer Gardens were incredibly fascinating. As a Japanese person, there were many things I didn’t know, and I’d love to visit again and take my time exploring. The only downside was that the Imperial Palace was closed that day. The weather was beautiful, and the hour flew by. I had a wonderful time. Thank you so much, Nonoka!
