Hiraku Walley. I'm a positive, curious, and outgoing person who loves to learn and converse with others. I'm Half Japanese but born in New Zealand. Have been living in Tokyo for the past 2 years and visited Japan much throughout my entire life. I have lived and travelled abroad and love to share the beauty of the Japanese Culture that I am so proud of.
Amazing Free Walking Tour in Tokyo – Informative, Fun, and Very Engaging! I had an incredible experience on this free walking tour in Tokyo! The guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate, and his English was excellent. The itinerary was well-balanced, covering both traditional and modern sides of Tokyo. We visited beautiful temples and shrines, and also explored areas that showed the city's cutting-edge modernity. The guide shared a perfect mix of historical facts, cultural context, and fun stories that kept everyone interested. I especially appreciated how he used printed images and visual aids to help us better understand certain moments in Japan's history. He also answered all kinds of questions with ease and knew a lot about a wide range of topics—from religion and history to pop culture and local habits. It was obvious that he had a deep love for the city and enjoyed sharing it with others.
What a wonderful introduction to Tokyo! Hiraku’s tour was so informative, entertaining and interesting. We learned a lot about the history, culture and architecture of the city and also about Japan in general. He was so personable and the pace was excellent. If Hiraku would offer different walking tours, we would gladly join him! Highly recommended.
