“Fantastic Tokyo Tour”
Atsushi was a great tour guide and was very helpful with taking us around Tokyo and navigating the area. Our first day he met us at the airport and helped us get a taxi to take us to our hotel. He then waited for us and we started our tour of Tokyo. He helped us navigate the Tokyo subway system and taught us about the Shinto and Buddhist religions and taught us how to give proper respect, which we greatly appreciated. He then took us to a fantastic ramen restaurant. The next day he arranged for us to go to Hakone to see Mt. Fuji. The day was perfectly clear and he showed us how to get great pictures of the volcano along with giving us the history of the area. He also convinced us to eat the famous black eggs of the region. Lastly, he showed us a couple of his favorite hidden spots, including a cafe where we could soak our feet in the hot springs. Atsushi made sure we were taken care of at all times and ensured that we had a memorable experience while in Tokyo.

“Great Guide Atsushi, Great Day in Kamakura!”
Atsushi met us at our hotel in the morning and arranged all transportation and communications. He is very professional, kind, knowledgeable, accommodating, and can appease any request. The sights in Kamakura were amazing and the weather was a beautiful day. He took us to an excellent restaurant for Soba and our stomachs were very happy! Given that we were on a tight timeframe that day, Atsushi ensured that we made our train back to the airport on time and escorted us along the way. When our train stopped due to an issue, he assured us that we would make our later flight and provided alternative solutions. Fortunately the train resumed and all went according to plan. Atsushi is a man of great character and we recommend him for your tour.

I am very thrilled that you two enjoyed a tour in Kamakura. Although I had limited time and could take you to only a few places, I believe you will be back in Japan soon, and I hope to see you again!
