Reviews

Visit Kamakura, the 13th century capital of Japan!
“Great Guide Atsushi, Great Day in Kamakura!”
Atsushi met us at our hotel in the morning and arranged all transportation and communications. He is very professional, kind, knowledgeable, accommodating, and can appease any request. The sights in Kamakura were amazing and the weather was a beautiful day. He took us to an excellent restaurant for Soba and our stomachs were very happy! Given that we were on a tight timeframe that day, Atsushi ensured that we made our train back to the airport on time and escorted us along the way. When our train stopped due to an issue, he assured us that we would make our later flight and provided alternative solutions. Fortunately the train resumed and all went according to plan. Atsushi is a man of great character and we recommend him for your tour.

I am very thrilled that you two enjoyed a tour in Kamakura. Although I had limited time and could take you to only a few places, I believe you will be back in Japan soon, and I hope to see you again!
“Highlights of Tokyo with excellent guide”
Atsushi is very friendly and helpful and well organised. He showed us a lot of Tokyo in just one day. We saw Schryns and Temples and of course typically market. We walked a lot and at the end we where tired but happy.

This trip includes several sites you feel are unique, and I am happy to explain what makes Japan different from Western cultures.
