“Amazing Day in Tokyo with Atsushi K!”
We recently took a guided tour with Atsushi K in Tokyo and it was perfect! We had a unique request to find the home of my sister-in-law's family. He located it with no problem and we were able to leave a package for the family. Atsushi was extremely knowledgeable and designed an itinerary that included every site that we requested and additional points of interest that we had not thought of. We never felt rushed but had all the time we wanted at each attraction. (We especially loved the fish market!) His English was perfect and we enjoyed his company. We would highly recommend him as a guide for any group. Having only one day in Tokyo, we felt that we had an excellent overview and expanded understanding of that beautiful city and the Japanese culture. Thank you, Atsushi!!!!!

Atsushi K.
Thank you very much for your nice review. I also enjoyed talking with you all. I hope you will remember Japan whenever you have a chance to watch it on YouTube or talk about it with your friends.

“Great knowledge, flexible and an expert at what he does.”
Atsushi was a great guide. We had some different needs as we wanted to get familiar with the train system, pick up some pre purchased train tickets and see some essentials of Tokyo if that was possible within a 4hr window. Atsushi wove together an experience that got us familiar with the train system and etiquette, helped us pick up tickets at Tokyo Station, wander through the gardens of the Imperial Palace and visit the major Shinto Shrine before a visit to madness of Shibuyu Crossing and a safe delivery to our return train. What was even better was that he managed to include some essential insights into the Japanese culture, traditions and psyche during those experiences without making it sound like a lecture tour. We appreciated his ability to weave all of that together with the added complication of a rainy day. A great experience put together by an expert.
Atsushi K.
Thank you for your nice review. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour, and I enjoyed talking with you both. It's important to understand that traveling around our country deepens our cultural understanding. Please have a nice and enjoyable stay in Japan!

“Hitting the highlights”
We booked Atsushi for a full day tour of Tokyo's big tourist sites on our first full day in Japan and Tokyo. He proved to be very a knowledgeable, amiable and thoughtful guide with an excellent dry sense of humor. English is excellent. In addition to seeing the top sites (like Meiji Shrine), Atsushi gave us invaluable "101" knowledge on how to effectively navigate Tokyo. Would highly recommend.
Atsushi K.
Thank you for your kind review. I also enjoyed talking with you all. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour; I intended to explain the background of Japanese culture and why Japanese people behave the way they do. I hope you enjoyed your trip to Japan and left with a good impression.

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!

One-day Scenic Tour to Hakone from Tokyo
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. Why don’t you spend your free time at Hakone, where you can enjoy Lake Ashinoko and a volcano in a day? It is highly recommended to book with my other tour plan, "Traditional and Modern One-day Tour in Tokyo," as you can fully enjoy your Tokyo stay within a limited time.

Once upon a time in Asakusa: Handicraft & Samurai
The Edo period, when Tokyo became the capital, is often seen as the peak of Japanese art and culture! Temple architecture, woodworking, woodblock prints, porcelain... I will use traditional handicrafts to illustrate the history and lifestyle of the people of Tokyo. Who were the samurai? What difference with a Ninja? How were armors crafted? I am also going to teach you all you need to know about those fierce warriors in front of a large collection of authentic weapons & armors.
