“Tokyo not Kamakura”
we spent an excellent day with Hiroshi in Tokyo. Kamakura was the intended site but, at the last minute, it was changed to Tokyo and Hiroshi was extremely flexible in accommodating our needs/interests. we spent time at the Edo/Tokyo museum Hokusai museum and then had a delicious lunch. the afternoon was spent traveling to and enjoying the Meiji shrine site. the camphor trees surrounding the shrine are so impressive and the cypress of the torii gates are immense. there were no trees there initially but Hiroshi said 100,000 trees were planted. enjoyed the facts that this knowledgeable man shared even on indigo blue! well worth hiring Hiroshi as he is enthusiastic about his subject.

“Amazing Hike up Mt. Kintoki”
We have been to Japan several times as our daughter lives here and it is always special treat to book a tour with Hiroshi! This was our third tour with Hiroshi and, as usual, it was amazing. Hiroshi is easy to communicate with. He takes the extra time to get to know you and your needs and adjusts the tour accordingly. Hiroshi, to us, is more than a tour guide, he is a friend. Thank you Hiroshi for another wonderful day.

Tokyo,Now &Then
Tokyo is a modern metropolitan city built on an ancient Edo, where Tokugawa samurai government was settled. Even now we can find old relics of ancient Edo among truly modern Tokyo streets. Asakusa, Ueno and the Imperial Palace itself are some of the examples. Let’s explore Tokyo with me and find the soul of Japan.
