Guten Tag, mein Name ist Rie. Nach zweieinhalb Jahren hat Japan seine Isolationspolitik endlich beendet. Liebe meine Gaeste, danke fuers Warten ! Was moechten Sie sehen, wenn Sie nach Japan kommen ? Was moechten Sie wissen ? Was moechten Sie essen ? Sie koennen beruehmte Tempel und Schreine vielleicht mit der App ohne Fuehrer besuchen. Was Sie wirklich brauchen, ist eine Reisefuehrerin, die freundlich und genau erklaeren kann, wie die durchschnittlichen Japaner im Alltag leben. Ich habe 25 Jahre lang an der Uni als Juradozentin gearbeitet und junge Studenten in schwierigem Recht unterrichtet. Ich denke, ich kann Ihre Wuensche erfuellen. Treffen wir uns in Tokio. Bis bald.

Hello! I am Rieko, a licensed tour guide with a deep passion for sharing the wonders of Gunma. Located in the center of the main island of Japan, Gunma has been a place where travelers from various parts of Japan, like Tokyo, Niigata, and Nagano, come and go. Some would relax in a hot spring, others would be encouraged by beautiful scenery. Gunma has helped them rejuvenate and keep traveling with energy. Drawing from my experience as a local tour guide and knowledge of Japanese culture, history, and traditions, I offer you a seamless and immersive journey. Embark on an adventure with me and discover the untold stories, hidden treasures, and vibrant local communities that make Gunma a truly remarkable destination. I hope to see you soon!

Born and bred in Tokyo I am still living in the suburbs of Tokyo. I spent several years in the U.S. and the UK and wanted to show international visitors around Japan in return for the hospitality I had received in foreign countries. After coming back from the UK, I obtained the qualification of the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I can guide guests to every corner of Tokyo including areas off the beaten track. As a history fan I can tell you a historical episode behind the scenes. From a local perspective I can explain how we Japanese are getting along. Since I have science and technology backgrounds, I can give you a tour of scientific or technical things as well..

Hi! I’m Yoshi. I’m a pure, but a little bit an international, Japanese, living in Yokohama for about half a century. In addition, I used to live in Malaysia for 2 years, U.S.A. for 8 years and Canada for 3 years. I had long been involved in the international trade of U.S., Canadian, Australian and European grains for 40 years, during which I visited more than 40 countries including most of East Asian and South East Asian countries and most of Western European countries. Now I’m a national certified guide-interpreter, working here for the past couple of years. Believe! There is much more vast range of tourist spots and attractions throughout the year in Japan, even in Tokyo and its neighboring area, than “Green Michelin” and “Lonely Planet” offer to the world. Oops! You will surely encounter a new electricity here and there, day and night! It’s really great to be welcoming here those who; - Like to visit famous historic and cultural sites, shrines and temples in Tokyo, Kamakura, Nikko and other local areas, - Love to bask in the natural beauty of Hakone, Mount Fuji and their vicinity, - Have a keen interest in time-honored, culture-rich local cities like Kanazawa, Takayama, Matsumoto, Nagano and unique rural areas like Shirakawa-go and so many others, - Are fascinated in Japanese art and paintings, both traditional and contemporary, including “Ukiyo-e”, wood block printings, - Are aggressive enough to stroll in the sky by a gondola over an active volcano and sulfurous gush! Oh dear! - Are passionate enough to directly touch the atmosphere of live, sometimes violent, “Matsuri”, traditional festivals in downtown, - Wish to experience Japanese traditional, elaborate craftwork, handed down for centuries, - Are enthusiastic about Japanese various pop culture and unique attractions, - Like, or need, to escape from your everyday stress or boredom anyway! Seeing is believing. Sightseeing is feeling through your own five senses! See Naples and Come on in Japan any time! I’m ready here whenever you are.

(77 reviews)Joe san, Thank you very much for your upmost review to me. It was very much pleasure for me that you requested me to arrange to learn the actual butchering process and watching the process of making beef to sell for general market at the school of butchery in Gunma prefecture. We could hear and watch the information in detail by the school top person. I am impressed that You and your family are so much professional to ask any questions and learned a lot. I am very much pleased that you could get important information from the school. Also, we visited Kato farm in Saitama prefecture who grows his own feed for the cattle and has won over 100 awards for their beef. We could see free range cows and goats and enjoyed tasting various foods by cow milking. I hope that you and your family continue to enjoy your nice business. Thanks, Kashima
“Awful experience!”
You sent a van with a wheelchair lift that took up 60-70% of the interior space. It was cramped, uncomfortable and NOT requested and very expensive. on 26September Mr Vincent Carlino has a car and driver ordered for pickup at 7am from ONSEN TO HANEDA aIRPORT. Scheduled with Soq J. please send a car and or limo with NO wheelchair lift so they will be comfortable. Thank you
Masato T.
(25 reviews)Thank you for using my service. My vehicle is a Toyota Hiace with a wheelchair lift. I think this is explained in my self-introduction, but my vehicle is not a limousine. I'm sorry if you seem to have been misunderstood. Also, the distance from the hotel in Tokyo where your customer stayed to Kusatsu Onsen is about 200 kilometers. Even if you use a regular taxi, it will probably cost you more than 80,000 yen each way, including expressway fees. My fee was 61,000 yen, which is not expensive compared to the average market price. It seems that they requested a car or limousine to be sent on the 26th, but I am not aware of that. You haven't made a reservation for me on the 26th. You should double check your reservation. It seems like you've misunderstood something. Thank you again.
