Visit Kamakura, the 13th century capital of Japan!
“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!
“Highlights of Tokyo with excellent guide”
Atsushi is very friendly and helpful and well organised. He showed us a lot of Tokyo in just one day. We saw Schryns and Temples and of course typically market. We walked a lot and at the end we where tired but happy.

It is my pleasure to spend time with people like you, and I believe you thoroughly enjoyed your stay in Tokyo. I hope your cruise will be happier than ever and you will return to Japan someday.
“Atsushi, an excellent guide”
Atsushi is an excellent and knowledgeable guide, who is very fluent in English. In addition to guiding us through Tokyo, he gave us insides in the religious, economic, cultural and political life in Japan. The tour itself was very well structured: we saw the old and the new. We also liked very much the use of the metro to visit the different places. It gave us a good view of how the city functions. We highly recommend Atsushi!

I could also enjoy my time with you. It is always my pleasure to meet people like you two with different cultural backgrounds, as I can learn a lot from that. If you can visit Japan, I want to be your guide again.
