"...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!"

My name is Grant and I've just toured your website. AWESOME!!!! 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."

(Rejection email from a popular travel website- we asked if they would be interested in linking to our site.)

"...We took you up on your invitation to take a look at your site, and were very impressed by what we saw. Congratulations on being awarded the Medaille d'Or for it!..."

"...What a marvellous trip!  Your site is very professionally displayed, has outstanding information and navigation is excellent.  You should consider submitting your "guided tour" to a travel agency or airline. To applaud your endeavours, we wish to give you our gold award of excellence."

"As long as the hard disks of the internet keep spinning, 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!"

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

"...I was born and raised in Tokyo, and now living in 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."

"I have never seen a more professional, well thought 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!"
