Background and Education
After earning a degree in English, I devoted over 35 years to teaching English at high schools and special education schools, while also working with the Prefectural Board of Education.

“mount Fuji”
Another fantastic day with Seigo, this time with a relaxing trip to mount Fuji. Seigo was polite, kind and puntual, a careful and calm driver too. Luckily the day was clear and sunny and so we were lucky enough to see Fuji in all its glory. when we found we weren't able to do some things, Seigo quickly came up with different ideas. We highly recommend Seigo .

Karl san, Thank you so much for your lovely review. On the second day, we explored the Fuji Five Lakes area. We were fortunate with the weather, which allowed us to enjoy breathtaking views of Fujisan—Japan’s iconic symbol—from various spots. It was a pleasure spending those two days with you, and I truly enjoyed our time together. I hope the rest of your journey continues to be just as wonderful, and I look forward to the day we meet again! Seigo

“Great, friendly, and knowledgable guide”
Seigo took my parents on a tour of Kamakura by car and they had a great time. He picked them up at Kamakura station and dropped them off there at the end, helping them purchase train tickets as well. The tour was easy, fun, and informative. My parents had only good things to say about the day and their guide, Seigo.
Seigo U.
Dear Daniel, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I'm truly glad I had the opportunity to guide your parents through the highlights of Kamakura and that they enjoyed the experience. Although the time was short, I thoroughly enjoyed spending those moments with them. Please do send them my warmest regards. Seigo
