“The Perfect Stress-Free Start to Our Japan Journey”
Atsushi was the perfect guide for our very first day of touring in Japan. Navigating a new country can be daunting, but he was waiting for us in the lobby of our Yokohama hotel which immediately provided for a stress-free day. As we were headed to Kyoto at the end of the day he helped with our luggage storage at Yokohama station so we could travel 'unburdened' to Kamakura. His deep knowledge of the Samurai era and the history of the Great Buddha at Kotoku-in was fascinating. From historical insights to helping us navigate the Shinkansen gates and picking out the best "ekiben" for our train ride to Kyoto, Atsushi ensured our first day was seamless and memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better start to our trip!

Thank you for your review. I am always trying to help guests understand the background of Japanese culture and how Japanese people behave, which is not mentioned on a guide book. It is very important to understand Japan during their stay.

This trip includes several sites you feel are unique, and I am happy to explain what makes Japan different from Western cultures.

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.
