“Highlight of our trip to Japan!”
Seigo san was a fabulous guide from start to finish! His pre-trip communication through Go With Guide was excellent. We were able to arrange all details ahead of time, and he was amenable to accommodating our sightseeing requests. Seigo san was very knowledgeable about the sights and explained patiently about what we were seeing, as well as the cultural significance, etc. I would highly recommend Seigo san as a guide and will definitely seek him out again when we return to Japan!!

Joanne san, thank you so much for your lovely review. How did you enjoy the tour to the 5th Station of Mt. Fuji? I truly enjoyed driving you both up to 2,300 meters and being able to show you Mt. Fuji up close. It was a memorable experience for me as well. I hope you continue to explore many wonderful places and enjoy the rest of your trip in Japan. Please feel free to contact me the next time you visit—I’d be delighted to take you to even more amazing places. Seigo

“Perfect day in Hakone”
My wife and I had the pleasure of being guided by Seigo-san during our brief visit in Hakone recently. The area has so much to offer, and it would be easy to get overwhelmed. Using Seigo-san's services was the best decision we've made. Seigo-san, has helped us focus on the key activities based on our preferences and turned our time into the most efficient and pleasant experience. Very highly recommend! Eugene

Eugene san, thank you very much for your wonderful review. I’m so glad to hear that you and your wife enjoyed the tour of Hakone — from seeing Mt. Fuji from different viewpoints to visiting the historic Hakone Shrine, and even trying the local specialty, deep-fried smelt. We were also fortunate to have such beautiful weather. Please come visit Japan again someday. I look forward to seeing you again then! Seigo

“Day guided tour of Tokyo ”
Seigo was the highlight of Tokyo. He maintained my 10 year olds captive attention by involving her in the discussion of the sites we visited. He tailor made our day to include the must see sites on my daughters list (shibuya crossing, Tokyo tower) but made the more historical and cultural sites interesting. We learned so much with Seigo and his kindness was the highlight of our day. Thank you Seigo- it was hard to say goodbye and we hope to see you at a dodgers game soon!
