“four architects spend two weeks in Japan, 3 days in Tokyo”
We had a number of buildings we wanted to see in Tokyo as part of our architectural tour. Atsuhiro research their location before we arrived and toke us to them as well as to sites he selected in a two day tour. He was prompt, efficient, and flexible in his well planned itinerary. We would certainly use him again for a similar purpose. High marks all around.
