“Fantastic Tour of Tokyo Highlights”
Seigo was great! We had a jam packed day of sightseeing, and he deftly guided us through the trains, crowds and pointed out really neat historical facts and landmarks. We will definitely call him when we return! Also, he took great photos of our group and encouraged us to try new things.

Vanessa san, Thank you for your wonderful review! I had a great time with you, your sister, and your dad today. We explored many parts of Tokyo using trains and the subway—it was a SUGOI adventure. Next time, I’d love to guide you at a more relaxed pace. I wish you a fantastic rest of your stay in Japan. I look forward to seeing you all again. Seigo

“Seigo is the guide you are looking for”
Seigo San could not have been a better guide. From his thoughtful and efficient planning which was tailored to exactly what we wanted to do and see, to his insights, knowledge, and friendly conversation, having Seigo San guide us around Tokyo was the highlight of our trip. He knows exactly where to go, when to go, and in what order to go see everything you want to do. Not only is he professional and knowledgeable about all of the history and attractions, but he printed out Japanese phrase guides and helped us learn the language. Seigo also knows great spots to eat. He knows the main spots, and the hidden gems off the beaten path. He’s also a wonderful photographer and captured many candid moments of our group. Overall, we couldn’t have had more fun. 10/10. 5 stars. We would give him 6 if we could. We were so sad to say goodbye, but incredibly thankful for his planning, insights, and friendship.

Eric san, I’m truly honored and humbled by your kind words. Over the past two days, we explored so many wonderful places—from experiencing the serenity of Meiji Shrine Inner Garden and writing a wish on an ema tablet, to soaking in the lively atmosphere of Asakusa, discovering the oasis of Hama-rikyu Gardens in the heart of the city, and indulging in a delightful food tour in Tsukiji. Seeing all of your smiles filled me with happiness. I’m deeply grateful for the time you spent with me, and I will forever cherish the memories we created together. I sincerely hope we can meet again soon, whether in Japan or Texas. Wishing you all a fantastic rest of your trip and a safe journey home. Warmest regards, Seigo
