Tsutomu H.
To Susan and Michael from Tsutomu (Tom), I truly appreciate the quality time both of you so kindly allowed me to spend with you. I have learned a lot from you as I fortunately had the opportunity of guiding you for 5 consecutive days. I feel I am a different person now after exchanging such humane and spiritual thoughts and conversations. Thank you for creating a special place in my heart. I will cherish the conversations we have had and look forward to fondly reviewing those within me for the coming days. By the way, keep hitting it far and straight right in the middle of the fairways (^^) Your friend, Tom

“Super day !”
Tom was wonderful- after our initial introduction he was quickly able to establish exactly what we wanted/needed to really enhance our trip to Japan. He tailored his plan to suit us and made sure we got the most out of the day we spent with him. We really enjoyed his expert knowledge and recommendations for later on in our trip. A warm and generous man- we would recommend Tom San very highly.

I sincerely appreciate the kind words given by a beautiful couple, Yannick F. and Sanny. I felt very lucky to be given an opportunity of guiding such nice people. Yannick and Sanny were kind, considerate in making it so easy for me to do my work better. I truly enjoyed working for Yannick and Sanny who encouraged me to become a better tour guide and more importantly to become a better person. I truly appreciate you. Thank you again for inspiring me!!

Both are my standard plans and my objective is to give you the best part of Tokyo in 8 hours.. I customize the tour especially for you.

Full Day Mt. Fuji Key Sites #1 (10 Hours)
This tour covers key sites of Mt. Fuji and its surroundings with beauty and wonders of nature. I will also cover the cultural aspect of this World Heritage Site. I will meet you at your hotel and will escort you back to your hotel. As I designed this tour, I focused on full coverage of key sites of Mt. Fuji in regards to geography, culture and history, plus time efficiency utilizing a private vehicle for which you could contact GoWithGuide Customer Support. Your safety/satisfaction is my #1 key.

Full Day Nikko Key Sites #1 (10 Hours)
In Japan, there is a saying (pun) that goes "Don't say Kekko until you see Nikko", which means "Don't say you are fully satisfied until you see Nikko". The great representation of Nikko is the combination of unparelled Cultural World Heritage Site of Toshogu Shrine and pure beauty of nature at Kegon Falls and Lake Chuzenji. This tour covers all of those key sites with my professional explanation of history and culture behind those heritages. Let's discover beauty of Nikko and exclaim "Kekko!!"

Full Day Kamakura Key Sites #1 (10 Hours)
In the eastern Japan, Kamakura is one of the best (if not THE BEST) places to witness the deapths of Japanese history. While Kyoto is a capital established by aristocrats, Kamakura is a capital built and nurtured by samurai worrior class. Its culture is simple and dynamic. My guiding point is History, Culture, Natural Beauty and Zen spirit, not to mention authentic Japanese food of your preference (or choice in any ways)!! I would like you to see the unique historical sites of over 800 years.

Once upon a time in Asakusa: Handicraft & Samurai
The Edo period, when Tokyo became the capital, is often seen as the peak of Japanese art and culture! Temple architecture, woodworking, woodblock prints, porcelain... I will use traditional handicrafts to illustrate the history and lifestyle of the people of Tokyo. Who were the samurai? What difference with a Ninja? How were armors crafted? I am also going to teach you all you need to know about those fierce warriors in front of a large collection of authentic weapons & armors.
