Our family’s tour guide was very knowledgeable and delightful, and brought to life the stories behind many of the beautiful facades, interesting buildings, lovely art installations that abound in Ginza. My family thoroughly enjoyed their time with her during this expansive tour of Ginza. Thoroughly recommend this tour for those more interested in exploring this neighborhood beyond just the shopping (which is also amazing, but thats a different tour.)

Tour guide tailored his discussion to our interests. Been to Tokyo many times on business but never got this perspective.

Exceeded expectations. Mari was a very knowledgeable and accomodating guide, and with excellent English. The tour company contacted us ahead of our arrival to ask about our interests so they could customise the tour. Mari has an in depth knowledge of Ginza - not only architecture and history, but also hot spots to eat and shop. Very generous in sharing her local knowledge. Highly recommend this tour.

My husband and I took a Ginza walking tour Monday morning with our exceptional guide Yuka. Yuka's knowledge about Japanese architecture, history, and design was very thorough. She also provided additional insight into Japanese culture. If was great seeing the old and new architectural gems as well as cool tucked away shrines. For anyone interested in architecture, be sure to include a tour with Yuka in your travel plans, it was a very rewarding experience.

My guide Yuki Deleon was a delightful tour guide of the contemporary architecture of the Ginza area. She was knowledgeable, the tour of the Kabuki theatre was especially interesting. At three hours and 12 kilometres it is a wonderful way to see another side of Japanese contemporary architecture. I would highly recommend this tour.

Mari was a fantastic guide. She asked about my interests beforehand and took me to some great spots that would be hard to find on my own. I really enjoyed spending the morning with her and learning more about Japanese architecture and culture. I highly recommend.

This tour was a wonderful was to orient us to the modern architecture and development of Ginza. Don’t be turned off by the high end retail nature of many of the buildings - they were designed by some of Japan’s finest contemporary architects and are visually stunning. Our tour guide Mari was wonderful - knowledgeable, friendly and able to tailor the tour to our interests. I highly recommend Showcase Tokyo!

We had a wonderful tour with knowledgeable and fun Yuki. In addition to showing us modern architecture in Ginza, we also went by some old structures and into Nissan Crossing which was very unique. Neither my husband or I are architects, but we enjoyed learning about an aspect of Tokyo that was a bit off the tourist track.

Yoko was a friendly and informative guide who included a variety of experience. We saw interesting skyscrapers in Ginza, but also the Buddhist temple, kabuki theater, the Outer Market, and two shrines, one of which was s tiny hidden gem between two huge buildings. I would highly recommend both the tour and Yoko to any travelers with an interest in architecture.
