“Book Shinya for Your Tokyo Trip!”
Shinya is an amazing man! From the beginning, he was quick to communicate and created a 2 day itinerary that fit what we were looking for. He led us through Tokyo with ease, providing great explanations of the areas we visited. What I enjoyed most about Shinya was his openness to discuss our different cultures. We learned from each other! He was more than accommodating for meeting our very jet lagged needs. He also took us to some great food spots for lunch! His love for what he does is reflected in every aspect of the tour. Book Shinya!

“Unforgettable Mt. Fuji Tour with Shinya: The Perfect Guide for a Fun and Delicious Experience!”
We had the pleasure of having Shinya as our guide for the Mt. Fuji, Hakone, and Lake Ashi one-day tour from Tokyo, and he truly made the experience unforgettable! Shinya’s knowledge and enthusiasm added so much fun to the trip, and he effortlessly guided us to all the must-see spots. One of the highlights was when Shinya asked if we liked cheesecake. When we said yes, he took us to a fantastic spot by Lake Ashi with the most delicious cheesecake and the best soft serve we've ever had. It was a delightful surprise and just one example of how Shinya goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great time. Even outside the tour, Shinya was incredibly helpful. When we asked him about local food, he recommended a spot in Tokyo Station. We ended up buying a lot of delicious food there, thanks to his great suggestion! If you’re looking for a guide who knows the area well and adds a personal touch to the experience, Shinya is your guy! Highly recommend him for your Mt. Fuji adventure. Paan Anukul
