“Wonderful Tokyo day trip! ”
Seigo, is an absolutely amazing tour guide. A local Japanese born and raised in Tokyo, a tireless individual who took us to famous landmarks like the Asakusa center, Tokyo Tower, the Shibuya Crossing, Harajuku street and pretty much everywhere in Tokyo city within 7 hours. He even booked for us a Kimono dress up experience, which we lived. He was incredibly patient with our three kids, allowing us time to explore as a family and meet them at certain points. He went above and beyond by making a reservation for us at a wonderful sushi place known for its fresh nigiri especially when it was difficult and busy in the city to find food. Seigo's joyful and exciting demeanor made the tour unforgettable. We were thrilled to have Seigo as our guide and couldn't have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Seigo for anyone visiting Tokyo.

Katia san, Thank you so much for your lovely review. You were the very first guest to write a review during the tour—what a delightful surprise! I’m very glad you had a fun day. Thanks to you, your wonderful husband, and your adorable kids, I had such a fun and memorable day, too. We were on the move all day by subway and train—I'm sure it must have been tiring. Please take a good rest tonight and recharge for tomorrow. I sincerely look forward to seeing you all again soon! Seigo

“Helpful and insightful tour with a great guide, Seigo!”
We are a couple visiting Japan for the first time and wanted a guide to help us navigate the city and learn the subway system. Seigo was a wonderful guide, he customized the itinerary to our needs, was prompt and clear with communication, and accommodated our requests. We saw areas and visited shops we wouldn’t have on our own, and had a great time. Seigo went above and beyond by being our personal photographer, capturing moments without us even having to ask. Arigatou gozaimasu, Seigo!

Caitlyn san, thank you so much for your wonderful review. Over the two days, you covered many parts of Tokyo using public transportation—it was quite a busy adventure! I was truly impressed by your energy and enthusiasm. Sugoi! I'm sure you continued exploring Tokyo on your own afterward—you’re practically Tokyo experts now! I hope your time in Japan gave you a deeper appreciation of our culture and history, even just a little. By the way, you both looked fantastic in a kimono—it’s no exaggeration. I look forward to the day our paths cross again. Seigo
