I was lucky enough to go on two tours Demon's of the Red Light District and Blood of the Samurai. Both were great and honestly the highlight of my time in Tokyo. Lilly is very knowledgable and planned the tours out very well. The time just flies by the tour is a lot of fun. I was in a fairly... More

We recently did the Blood of the Samurai tour. We have been to Tokyo on previous occasions and this was a great opportunity to find out more about places you could otherwise walk past without knowing what you were looking at. We were lucky enough to be part of a small party (total of 3 people) and so had a... More

I really loved this tour - we did the New Years Even trip with Lily - Year of the Dragon Ghost trip. Although there was quite a large group of 18 we could still hear the commentary, questions and answers provided. I loved walking through back streets and alleys to small shrines or cemeteries, to hear the associated myths and... More

I've taken two tours with Lilly now, the Halloween graveyard tour and the Blood of the Samurai tour. Both have been very informative about the histories of religion/folklore and the tragedies of Tokyo history. If you are looking for a ghost-hunting, paranormal tour then this may not meet your expectations -- the focus is much more on the history than... More

I went on the 'Backstreets of Tokyo Ghost Walk'. There were about 15 people in total which I personally thought was too much as myself and others had difficulty hearing Lily throughout the tour. I felt parts of the tour were poorly organised. As an example, we arrived at what we were told was the most significant site of the... More

It was pouring with rain throughout our tour, but we still had a great time, which is quite a recommendation. Lilly took us to some fascinating places we'd never have found for ourselves, like the toad and the Kappa shrines and Hokusai's tomb, and kept us entertained with anecdotes and snippets of info about Shintoism, myth and legend, and how...

Google maps, Google images, and Wikipedia. That's the tour in a nutshell. Maybe I took the wrong tour, or perhaps she waited until I left, but in the 2 hours and 15 minutes that I followed along there wasn't a single ghost story told in the "Ghosts and Goblins" tour. It should be renamed to "Folklore and Fairytales" really. What... More

It was a 2pm to 5pm tour! I wished it was longer- I had such a wonderful time. Rain or shine the tour would still be on. You really get to know about Japan and its culture more on this tour, but in a different perspective! I joined the Blood of Samurai tour. I paid online via paypal but you... More

My husband and I went on the Ghost and Goblins tour on our recent trip to Tokyo. We go on at least 1 ghost tour wherever we visit. Lily was an excellent guide; very welcoming, entertaining and knowledgeable. Everyone should go on this tour! Even if you're a skeptic, it's simply a wonderful and offbeat way to learn of Japan's...

Lilly Fields is an amazing tour guide with a great mysterious personality. Japanese culture has a lot to do with ghosts and spirits so you will learn A LOT about Japanese culture and history.
