About Tour Guide Hiroshi S.

Hello, I'm Hiroshi.

I am a National Government Licensed Tour Guide Interpreter in English. I received a master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the U.S.

I have lived in a city of Fujisawa, which is a city next to Kamakura, for more than 20 years, and also used to live in Kamakura for more than 10 years. So far, I have visited almost all the temples and shrines in Kamakura. I am sure I can offer you a pleasant trip to the historical city!

In addition to Kamakura, I can also guide you around Tokyo, Yokohama, Hakone, Nikko, etc. because I have visited many places in Kanto area. For example, in Tokyo I can show you around many sightseeing spots, such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine, Tokyo Skytree, etc.

I like baseball and used to play baseball, but now enjoy watching professional baseball games. And I like watching Rakugo, Japanese traditional story-telling performance.

Of course, I also like travelling very much, and am interested in Japanese culture and history. So I would like to show you Japanese tradition and culture.

Let’s enjoy a trip in Japan together.

I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

“EXCELLENT ”

Fabulous ~ his love enthusiasm for his country is special Truly a great day A good 12k walking so wear comfortable shoes

Hiroshi S.

Thank you for writing a review. I enjoyed the tour to Hakone with you. Hakone was much busier than I expected. We had to wait to ride on the gondola and sightseeing boat, but I would be happy you enjoyed the tour. Although we were not able to see Mt. Fuji due to the clouds, but we were able to see the volcanic activity at Owakudani. We also learned about the history of Hakone at the Hakone Checkpoint. I look forward to seeing you again in Japan!

“Great day in Tokyo ”

We loved our day and highly recommend. Super informative and flexible to what we wanted to see and do.

Hiroshi S.

Thank you for writing a review. I enjoyed two days with all of you. I hope you enjoyed the seafood and youth culture in Tokyo. Unfortunately, we were not able to see Mt. Fiji because of the clouds in Hakone, but enjoyed black eggs and boat cruise on the lake. There are many popular tourist destinations near Tokyo, such as Nikko, Yokohama, Kamakura, etc. I hope we can meet again in the near future. Let’s enjoy Japan’s culture and nature together!

“Great half day with Hiroshi!”

Hiroshi San was a great guide for us. He came to our hotel and helped us greatly navigate the Tokyo underground. It’s great having a guide for the fist visit to Tokyo. Hiroshi had a great stories of the places we visited and gave everything context. He provided great views of Shibuyo crossing and gave us the time we needed at Shinto Shrines + Buddhist Temples. I have no hesitation in recommending Hiroshi. I would have liked to see the real fish market but sadly that was a little outside city centre. Thank you Hiroshi San!!!

Hiroshi S.

Thank you for writing a review. I was sorry I brought the bad weather on the day:-). But when we arrived in Tsukiji, it hardly rained at all. We were able to enjoy Tsukiji Outer Market. We also visited Tsukiji Honganji Temple and Namiyoke Shrine. I would be happy if you were able to feel the atmosphere of both Buddhism and Shintoism. It started raining in Shibuya, but the rain allowed us to see a beautiful sight: many colorful umbrellas crossing the intersection. I will do my best to get an Excellent review next time, so please let me know if you have another opportunity to come to Japan. Let's enjoy Japanese culture and beautiful scenery together!
