“Day guided tour of Tokyo ”
Seigo was the highlight of Tokyo. He maintained my 10 year olds captive attention by involving her in the discussion of the sites we visited. He tailor made our day to include the must see sites on my daughters list (shibuya crossing, Tokyo tower) but made the more historical and cultural sites interesting. We learned so much with Seigo and his kindness was the highlight of our day. Thank you Seigo- it was hard to say goodbye and we hope to see you at a dodgers game soon!

“A wonderful day in Kamakura ”
Seigu have us a memorable day in Kamakura with visits to five temple and shrine sites with great explanations of their significance. He met us at the train station and guided us through the day and back to the appropriate place at the station form our return trip to Tokyo. Logistics were seamless! He also guided us to a restaurant for dinner with sunset ocean views and a view of Mt Fuji. Unfortunately the weather clouded both but it was exactly what I had asked for (apart from the weather!) A first class tour guide and highly recommended !!

Alfred san, Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was quite a full day, and I’m sure you must have been a bit tired, but I’m happy we were able to visit so many of Kamakura’s main temples and sights together. I really enjoyed spending the day with you both. I’m also glad you could relax and enjoy dinner at the restaurant in Shichirigahama, with that beautiful sunset and a bit of the view of Mt. Fuji. Hope our paths cross again someday! Seigo

“Wonderful day tour of Kamakura and Enoshima. ”
Seigo was a terrific host, our tour around Kamakura (Houkokuji, Komachi-dori, Kotokuin, Hasedera and ending at Enoshima at dusk) was a great experience. Seigo's willingness to accommodate our needs was greatly appreciated and his recommendation for a restaurant at the end of our tour was a hit!
