“Amazing Day in Tokyo with Siego”
Our family (from Australia) spent a day with Siego U in Tokyo for New Years Eve 2024. It was our first trip to Japan. Siego planned a perfect, action packed itinerary for us which we absolutely loved… we visited shrines, spent time in a hedgehog cafe, had sushi train lunch, dressed in Kimonos and walked the old streets of Asakusa and enjoyed a delicious dinner at a sumo restaurant. He made us feel comfortable in an unfamiliar city where we don’t speak the language. He taught us a few great words too! Siego San - you are sugoi (awesome). We will remember our day with you forever. Janne (bye) and thanks for everything. Tracy, Jim, Ben and Sarah.

Dear Tracy san, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to spend such a special day, New Year’s Eve, with you and your family. Seeing all of your bright smiles brought me so much joy. That day will forever hold a special place in my heart. I sincerely hope you and your family fully enjoy your first trip to Japan and return home with cherished memories. Tracy, Jim, Ben, and Sarah, Jaa-mata-ne! (See you again) Seigo Warm regards,

Hakone Explorer 1-Day Nature and History Car Tour with a Licensed guide
“Five Stars for an Unforgettable Experience with Seigo!”
Our family adventure to Mount Fuji and Hakone was exceptionally guided by Seigo, a personal guide whose professionalism and dedication transformed our day into an unforgettable journey. From the get-go, Seigo exhibited strong communication, detailing our day's itinerary and ensuring we were all set for an early morning start right from our hotel at 7 am. The highlight for my children, aged 11 and 12, was unquestionably the morning hike at Arakurayama Sengen Park, we embarked on a challenging yet immensely rewarding 40-45 minute trek, culminating in a breathtaking view of Mount Fuji that will be etched in our memories forever. It's a testament to Seigo's planning that, despite the hike's demands, it turned out to be the highlight for my kids, marking a pinnacle in their Japan experience. Lunch was another delightful moment, as Seigo introduced us to Sushiro. It wasn't just the food that was amazing; the affordability was a pleasant surprise – a rare find in tourist areas that Seigo skillfully navigated us to. The day continued with a visit to see the Owakudani Valley, followed by a serene pirate ship ride down Lake Oshinoko. Even with the day packed with activities, Seigo's scheduling was impeccable, ensuring he was always there, waiting to guide us to our next adventure without feeling rushed. Our journey through Hakone, enriched by Seigo's insightful narration on the history and significance of each site, painted a picture of Japan that was as educational as it was enchanting. Despite encountering traffic on our return, Seigo managed to bring us home by 6:30pm, closing the day smoothly. Seigo wasn't just a guide; he was a cornerstone of our Japan experience, solving any issue and answering every question with patience and expertise. I cannot recommend him enough. If you're seeking a knowledgeable, personable, and truly exceptional guide for your travels in Japan, requesting Seigo is the way to go!

Jenny san, Thank you for writing such a wonderful review of our tour. I also enjoyed our journey to Mt. Fuji and Hakone with you and your kids. They are wonderful and innocent, just as children should be. You were fortunate to appreciate Fujisan, which was more beautiful than usual, from many different locations that day. Your family also made it to the top of the hill by climbing some 400 steps to have one of the stunning views of that day. Honestly, I thought traveling in the two areas from and to Tokyo in one day was not a piece of cake, but we got it done thanks to your cooperation and understanding of my plan, which was just amazing. I appreciate you here. I hope to see you and your kids again! Seigo
