“The one and only guide in Tokyo Munetaka H.”
We hired Munetaka as our guide for three consecutive days. The Tokyo excursion was first on the agenda. He was early, organized and eager to start the trip. Munetaka was knowledgeable about Japan history, culture and food. He also put in much effort to secure three tickets to travel to Mt. Fuji at last minute when everything was sold out five weeks ago. Kudo to him and his continued hard work.

(8 reviews)Thank you very much for your positive review to me. The pleasure is all mine, I am encouraged very much, have more confidential to do guiding for all people in the world! Let’s enjoy the final day Mt.Fuji together! Munetaka
“A very good day in Yokohama ”
With eight hours before our flight from Japan, we thought it would be a good idea to hire a local guide to spend the day. So we connected with a guide and hired Munetaka. His guidelines were simple - stay in the Yokohama region, no shopping, no water trips, and we wished to see things that were “not touristy”, and of course get us back to the airport in time for our flight. Munetaka did very well indeed. The model railroad museum was terrific, (could have spent hours there), the ceramic museum- beautiful, the beautiful Sankeien garden where we had a very tasty bowl of ramen, and finally China town. A great afternoon. Best of all was Munetaka’s enthusiasm in everything, his knowledge, and most importantly, the research he had done to arrange all the travel and the times to fit in with us. Thank you Munetaka, we appreciate and recommend you to others.
