Flexible y pragmático. Muy interesante, se nota que ha convivido durante años con la cultura japonesa.

I actually did Shibuya with Oca and missed out on attending this one - he was fabulous on that tour, so certain that he would have been the same here.
Thanks for your energy, enthusiasm, positivity, friendliness and openness, Oca!

Hemos tenido la GRAN suerte de pasar todo un día con Oca y salir con una visión totalmente diferente y especial de Tokio.
Inicialmente solo íbamos a hacer un tour y al finalizar ese seguimos directamente al siguiente (con derecho a compartir la comida con él en un local super rico y de buen precio - que seguro no habríamos encontrado por nosotros mismos).
Los dos tour son muy distintos y uno acaba complementando al otro. Particularmente nos gustó mucho el Nihombashi ya que vimos más de cerca un barrio más local y menos turístico.
Y la cereza del pastel fue que después de los dos tours Oca nos llevó por un largo - y especial - paseo por Ueno. No podemos estar más agradecidos. Fue todo genial!
