“Deserves More than 5 Stars”

We had the pleasure of Makoto-san's presence and guidance for two wonderful days of visiting the Japan of the 3rd to 8th centuries (before Nara). Most tourists are interested in later periods, the Nara age (710-781) and the centuries when Kyoto was the capital (796-1868). But I'm a Japanese history buff, and wanted to see unusual places (tombs and other archaeological sites) that were important before that. Although Makoto said it was a first-time request, he obviously did exhaustive research on the topic, and created a perfect 2-day itinerary. He also learned enough about me to add some special places of interest (I'm a. fan of sumo wrestling, and it is supposed to have started in the area we toured.). His English was great, his work ethic spectacular, and his personality youthful and engaging. I would have awarded him more than Five Stars, if there were more stars to give. He knows his stuff, tries to know his clients, and went far beyond expectations for us. I'm so grateful for the memorable two-day visit we had in the Nara basin, thanks to Makoto-san!

“Yoshi delivered showing us all highlights Tokyo has to offer!”

In only 2 days, Yoshi was able to show us most of the highlights that North, South, East, and West Tokyo offer. Because of the volume of sites to see and things to do, I think it would take you at least 1 year to see everything. We are glad we opted for a personal guide because if we had to navigate the subways, trains, boats, buses, and monorail, we would probably still be lost! Yoshi was very knowledgeable about Japanese history. We give him a 5-star rating and would recommend him to anyone. PS: Yoshi is an older gentleman, but I doubt most young people could keep up with him.

“Yoshi was the Best!”

We booked 3 days with Yoshi. We told him that we would like to see all the highlights of Tokyo, and he delivered. We are in our mid 60's and Yoshi was older, but I swear he would win the Men's Olympic 400-meter race. He was very knowledgeable about Tokyo, Japanese history, and the subway system. While doing the special areas of North, South, East, and West Tokyo, it was Kamakura that we were in love with. We took the subway, train and bus to get there, and the sites were magical. Yoshi introduced us to Tempura, Macha, Wasabi and best of all, Wagyu. He tried to get us to try sushi, but he was unsuccessful. He did, however, show us the samples in the fish and food markets. If we were to good back to Japan I would definitely try to book Yoshi again. He was wonderful. 5 stars!
