One of my favorite things to do is to see architecuture designed by famous architecs, such as Kuma Kengo, and Ando Tadao. I also like to see art works, such as paintings, Ukiyoe woodblock prints, and tea bowls, and something like that.

Lastly, I love tennis very much. I have been playing tennis for more than 40 years! I also love to watch tennis game! I have visited Melbourne in Australia to see the Australinan Open Tennis in 2020 just before Corona Pandemic. I visited New York to see the U.S. Open Tennis last summer in 2023.

“Great introduction of Japan”

Shinay met us in the hotel lounge, where we were warmly welcomed. It was our first day in Japan, so we chose to spend it with a guide who would not only show us buildings featuring both traditional and modern architecture but also introduce us to Japanese culture and customs. It was a truly wonderful day. We really enjoyed Shinay’s expert explanations regarding several remarkable buildings and Japanese culture. We couldn't have wished for a better start to our three-week trip through Japan.

Dear Peter, Thank you so much for your review. It was good to know you and your wife. I had a wonderful time with you, too, since you like to watch cool & nice buildings. Your preference is as same as my preference: to watch cool architecture! Please have a nice trip in Japan and see you again in Japan. Shinya

“A Wonderful Guide Who Brought Tokyo to Life”

We had a wonderful experience with Shinya E. in Japan! He was incredibly respectful, knowledgeable and thoughtful throughout our customized tour of Omotesando. He took us on an amazing walking tour that included the beautiful Meiji Jingu Shrine, Nezu Museum, and Tokyo National Museum. His knowledge and storytelling brought each location to life, giving us a much deeper appreciation for the history, architecture, art, and culture of Tokyo. What made the experience especially memorable was his warm and personal approach. He made every place feel special and helped us see these incredible locations in a completely different way. We absolutely loved our time with him and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, respectful and engaging guide in Japan. He truly helped make our visit unforgettable!

Hello Meg, Thank you so much for the wonderful review you wrote. To be honest, I was deeply moved when I read it. Thank you so much. As your guide, I’m truly delighted that you enjoyed my tour. I’m also very happy to have had the opportunity to meet you and your family. This time we met may have been a once-in-a-lifetime meeting, but I would be delighted to see you again if you visit Japan in the future. It was an honor to help you make a part of wonderful memories to celebrate your 40th wedding anniversary. Please take care until we meet again. Shinya

“Matsumoto castle ”

We started our first visit to Japan with Mr Shinya E. on his Tokyo tour, and ended our visit to Japan with him on his Matsumoto tour. We had an awesome visit! A Truly amazing guide, exceptional knowledge of his country and it's history, and a super nice guy, that was fun to hang out with. I feel like we gained more then just an appreciation for the culture and history of Japan, but actually gained a friend as well. If you get to Tokyo for a visit, I highly recommend you make contact with Mr. Shinya E. You'll have a fabulous experience. Thank you Shinya E. We look forward to seeing you again on our next visit. Best Regards Judy and Craig F.

I hope we can meet again someday, either in Japan or the U.S.—next time, as friends! Guiding you both has undoubtedly become a cherished memory that will stay with me for a lifetime. Thank you so much. Best Regards, Shinya
