"...You
really do have the absolute BEST site!! I think it is THE site to go to
as it really gives a tourist view of things and has amazing detail (extreme
detail!). It will eliminate some unexpected surprises and has already helped
me to prepare properly for the trip. I liked all the pictures you have
of the subways, your tickets, sounds, etc.. Now I know how to get from
the airport to the hotel (I'm going to use the Airport Limousine like you
used - thanks for the tip!). I printed off many of the pages from your
site so I'll know what to visit when I get there - Ginza, Ueno Park, etc.
You really prepared a very professional site - much better than the "generic"
travel sites that are not very personal. Well done!"

"My plane leaves in about two hours, and I decided to
surf the web to find some last tips for traveling to Tokyo. I expected
to visit dozens of pages, but guess what: it was all just in one place.
Your site is really great!"

I'm going to Japan in September for two weeks and decided to find out a
bit more about Japan before I go. You've just answered all I need to know
about Tokyo. Thanks and well done.

"...it's a great site, certainly one of
the best personal pages i've ever seen. however, i don't think it really
fits the bill for our links: we tend to concentrate on budget and long-term
travelers. thanks a lot though, i really enjoyed checking out your travels."

(From our first web award)

displayed, has outstanding information and navigation is excellent.

anthropologists years from now, will have a wealth of material to work
from. Roger And Marilyn's Photo Tour Of Tokyo is a prime example of how
the digital camera augments our need to document ourselves. We highly recommend
taking the guided tour through their site which will walk you through each
of their action-packed seven days and see Tokyo through the eyes of Roger
and Marilyn, the tourists you'll come to know and love. We can't wait for
the sequel!"

are similar to supermarkets in the USA though smaller. The choices of foods
however was quite different!

the US. I was browsing your page because I'm taking my boyfriend over there
this winter. We are really excited about it, but I don't have a clue where
I should take him. So I'm looking around to see what kind of places are
most enjoyable to American people. I really enjoyed your page, and glad
to hear that you had a great time there. I'll come back and look around
again."

"Enjoyed your tour! Very nice indeed. My wife, Mary Ann
and I, are visiting Italy for 14 days in September for our 25th wedding
anniversery. You have inspired me to take along my camera and possibly
try something like yours on a smaller scale."

out web site than this one. How you were able to turn it around in
such a short time is amazing! It is the ultimate in information for the
traveler to Tokyo, which I plan to be in the year 2000. I have been
searching the net for tips to make my experience a pleasant one.
Yours is the one stop web site for everything I need to know. The
quality of the photos were superb. They just made visiting your site
all the more enjoyable. Thanks so much for taking the time to share
your experience with us. Domo arigato gozaimasu!"
