“Best Trip Ever!!!”
My family and I were lucky enough to spend about 2.5 days with Atuchi in Tokyo. On the date of our arrival Atuchi picked us up at the airport and helped us get settled in and briefly showed us around. He showed us how to navigate the metro system and made sure we were all set up for the days to follow. Our first full day was spent seeing all the sights of Tokyo and that was followed by a one-day scenic tour to Hakone. It was a pleasure having him explain various cultural aspects of the locations we visited without completely overloading us with information. He is extremely friendly, was great to be around, and we immensely enjoyed our time with him. You know our days were great and fulfilling when we were very sad to have to goodbye. You can tell that Atuchi takes a lot of pride in providing a great and memorable experience for his guests. Also, not only does he speak great English, but he was very easy to understand and communicate with. We cannot recommend Atuchi enough!

We really enjoyed our day in Tokyo with Atsushi-san. He was calm and modest yet very efficient and helped us better understand Japanese culture and soul. Highly recommended!

Let's explore the traditional and modern sides of Tokyo.
I don't know if you think something is different in Japan, but I suppose it is because it is based on a unique discipline called Shinto. Let's explore what makes Japan unique by visiting several unique sites in Tokyo. This trip includes several sites you feel are unique, and I am happy to explain what makes Japan different from Western cultures. I am based in Tokyo, but I am happy to arrange any kind of tour even to Kyoto and Nara. Just contact me for further details!

Let's enjoy the scenic beauty at Hakone Hakone, a scenic site, is only 1 hour away from Tokyo by train. It is also a popular spot for Tokyoites to spend a weekend or one-day trip.

Temple or Shrine, Let's distinguish together!!
You may visit to the historical places when you come over to Japan. If you visit to Kyoto or other historical places, I highly recommend you to know the difference between the shrine and temple based on your knowledge. Tokyo has been the center of Japan not economical but cultural and historical places. I will take you to the place you can feel the time passed over 150 years with the urban style of Tokyo.
