“Enjoyable adventure in Tokyo”

Mitsuru (Mark) came to our accommodation early, and was enthusiastic and ready to go. He had a prepared discussion of Japanese history to share, and answered our questions. We learned about Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines and how they affect the Japanese culture. He guided us through the Tsukiji market, always helpful to explain and intervene on our behalf, and then a visit to Senso-Ji Temple and shrine, and Nakamise street. He made sure we arrived at our next event in Shibuya on time. He was very easy to understand, and fun to spend time with. Thank you Mark! See you next time we visit!

“Above our expectations! ”

Mark communicated well early on, and we decided to do the Kamakura tour, which was great. But what really stood out was Mark's professionalism, humility, knowledge, and humor. We felt we had more than just an above-average guide — we made a new friend. Mark met us at our hotel on time and made it clear he was there to help us get the most out of our tour. He was thoughtful enough to gauge how comfortable we were navigating the large, complex stations so he could give us plenty of advice for our future travel plans, beyond the tour at hand. We learned that he is a seasoned guide with over 10 years of experience, and it showed. The area was crowded, but Mark made everything seamless, which is exactly what we wanted. Add to that his deep knowledge of Japanese history, and at no point during the tour were we bored or overwhelmed. I learned so much about history, culture, and spirituality, but in such a casual way that it was easy to absorb and still enlightening. I'm happy to recommend Mark. And by the way, he speaks great English, and more importantly, he's honest and sets clear expectations.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I'm so happy to hear that you had a great time with me in Kamakura. I really enjoyed spending the day with you, too. We laughed a lot during the tour, didn't we? I also really appreciate you being open to exploring the Kita-Kamakura area with me. It's not as well-known as places like Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, but it's actually my favorite part of Kamakura! I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip and have many more wonderful experiences in Japan!

“Amazing day!”

Mark was amazing. He was very thoughtful and accommodating. We provided him with a couple of places we wanted to visit and he planned the day around these. He navigated the train and subway systems for us. Mark showed us more than we thought possible. His choice of restaurant for lunch suited everyone in the group with lots of Japanese cuisine, friendly and delicious. We had a great time. Highly recommend Mark.
