KAMAKURA! What a perfect place to escape from daily bustlness. The town famous for zen-buddhism and as the first de-facto capital ever established by samurais gives us splendid time to enjoy the rustic but solemn atmosphere.

“A Magnificent day with Mark ”

We had the most wonderful day with Mark filled with knowledge, support and fun. He picked us up from our hotel, helped us to navigate the subway and train system and then showed us some of the most amazing places. Marks knowledge of both modern and traditional Japanese culture was fantastic, he answered all of our questions and made all the things we wanted to do possible. Mark was extremely kind and supported us when we had lost a JR Pass connecting us to those who could help. He not only guided us through many beautiful places is Tokyo but supported us with our next stops. Mark was fun to hang out with and we loved getting to know him. He was one of highlights in Tokyo and we are extremely grateful to have spent the day with him.

But please don’t get too excited and take care of yourself. I’m looking forward to seeing you again and your new family member.

“Tokyo Tour”

We asked Mark for an authentic tour off the beaten track for our family with two young adults and had a great day. Mark is very friendly and explained the background behind the places we visited and answered any questions we had about Japanese customs and culture. Highly recommended!

“Tokyo a la carte”

Mark is a great guide. Instead of the "official" tour, we asked him to show us 2 or 3 major sites plus some other sites that are not well known. We saw a LOT in just one day - Asakusa, Tokyo SkyTree, Shibuya Crossing, plus a beautiful out of the way garden and also a Shintu ceremony in the afternoon. Mark is very knowledgeable and flexible, so is able to tailor a tour to whatever interests you have.
