Reviews

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.

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.

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.

A great day in Tokyo with Atsushi

Atsushi was a superb guide. We had a marvelous day going around Tokyo with him, saw many sights, and learned about Japanese culture and history. Highly recommended.
