“Best day ever!”

Visiting Kawagoe with Diego was one of my favorite days of my trip to Japan Diego provided so much information and I learned so many interesting things about Kawagoe and the Edo period. This town was so magnificent and would recommend this tour to anyone

“A relaxed and fascinating walk in the past with Sachimi-san”

I was eager to explore the outskirts of Tokyo. I chose Sachimi-san because her tour was specifically focused on Kawagoe, an area where different past architectures merge: Edo, Meiji, Tasho, Showa. Sachimi could help me with the logistics. We could visit Kitain temple, where I was lucky enough to assist to a burning ritual and sutra chant, and then Hikawa, a shrine with a playful atmosphere. With her, I had the most delicious unagi I ever had in my trip (I am picky about unagi!). We strolled around in the joyful Kurazukuri street which is abundant of vintage shops, that I love. We visited a brewery, a really old soy factory...so many things, but I never felt any rush. Sachimi-san was always flexible and could easily read my interests. Time really flew! I hope to walk again in those streets in the future. If so, will be again with Sachimi-san.

Hi, Stefano-san, Thank you so much for such nice words! It was really a joy to walk the lovely town and I am glad you liked and saw a lot there. The lunch was also really good! I hope you will come back to Japan, then let's explore another off-the-beaten old atmosphere area! Thank you again. Please take care!

“It's like having an outing with an old friend!”

I enjoyed every single moment exploring and walking around Chichibu area with Daisuke. He made me feel so comfortable that we ended up sharing personal life stories and challenges unreservedly while having a great time visiting temples. He was a great traveling companion who paid attention to details and went extra miles to make sure my trip a memorable one. We had such a great time together despite the rains. I highly recommend Daisuke to anyone considering engaging a local guide in Japan, esp Tokyo and Chichibu area. He is the best guide I ever had! Daisuke, once again, thank you so much for making my Japan trip an unforgettable one!
