“Shizuko is AMAZING!”
I came to Shizuko with a bit of a curve ball. I wanted to visit the Nissan heritage collection in Yokohama, but bookings are Japanese-only. And booking spots is difficult. Shizuko graciously agreed to help, and managed the entire booking process, met as at the nearest train station, escorted us by a local bus to the gates, got us through security and into the museum. She provided some translation whilst there and it was just an all round amazing experience. I plan to return with my fiancée (wife by then) in the future and plan to organise one of Shizuko's regular tours for sure!

Dear Clinton, Thank you very much for such a wonderful review. I’m so glad to received it. It was my pleasure to make a reservation of the museum for you. At the museum, I was happy to see that you and your friends really enjoyed various Nissan cars, sports cars (real racing cars won the Le Mans Race etc.), Nissan GTR etc. that have made Nissan’s glorious history. I hope you enjoyed Takayama, Shirakawa-go and others (beautiful local area in Japan). I’m looking forward to seeing you (and your wife) again in the future. Thank you. Best regards, Shizuko. I have received a thank-you mail from the museum, I attached it below. **** Dear Mr. Kampen, We want to extend our sincerest gratitude for your recent visit to Nissan Heritage Collection. We truly hope you enjoyed exploring our history through various cars which have pioneered an era. Since its establishment in 1933, Nissan has dared to do what others don’t, and Nissan will continue to provide innovative products, technologies, and services that excite people and society. Thank you once again and we look forward to seeing again in the near future. Sincerely, The Team at Nissan Heritage Collection Museum.****

“2 days of Tokyo and Kamakura tours”
Shizuko (Suzie) was fantastic. She was kind and patient during our tours. She took us to the best sites and we had great dining experiences. We would have never been able to navigate the lines without her. Our experience in Japan was fantastic because of Suzie!
Shizuko T.
Dear Michelle, Thank you very much for sending me such a kind review. I’m so glad to know that you enjoyed the tour with me. I myself really enjoyed talking with you about various social situations in the United States and Japan in the train to Kamakura. I hope the obi (sash for kimono) you bought in Kamakura surely matches the wonderful room of your house. And I hope you enjoyed Shibuya SKY and other places you visited in your free time of the next day. Thank you very much to choose me as your guide this time. It was really nice meeting you. Kind regards, Shizuko
