“One day tour of Tokyo ”
Our 9 hours one day tour with Shin covered almost the whole city of Tokyo. Started in Meiji Shrine, Takeshita Street, Omotesando, etc Then to Shibuya Crossing. Had a beautiful Tempura lunch. Walked to Imperial Palace & Mitsubishi Museum. Tokyo Tower observatory and Zojoji. Walked the areas of Yanaka and Nexus. Our guard Shin did an outstanding guarding our way though the complicated Subway system, without him we would have completed loss. I highly recommend Shin as your guard to Tokyo.

Thank you for your thoughtful review, Warren san. It was my pleasure that we enjoyed a long city walk even though Japanese summer still shows its strengths. As I explained this summer is the hottest and will become the longest summer in the Japanese History. We couldn’t control the heat. Thank you again your patience and challenge to walk through the tour. Our tour was flexible and tried to suit your interest. That was a good thing we could have enough communication to decide the schedule. Our tour requests us a bit busy and long walking, however, it is good to hear you & Margarita san made it and enjoyed it. Best regards, Shin

“Beside visited the Giant Buddha, also the Tsurugaoka Hachiman Shrine. And had a beautiful lunch in Kamakura ”
Our guide Shin did an outstanding job explaining each places we visited not just the history but why and when all existing stories behave each places. Eventhough the weather was hot and humid, and lots walking, but we enjoyed every minute on the trip with Shin. Would recommend this tour with Shin for anyone interested in visiting Kamakura.

Thank you for your kind review, Warren san. I was a little worried about your condition after the long walking yesterday under the summer heat, but your quick recovery with Margarita san made our tour pleasant and fruitful, Arigatou! I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your initiatives and support. As I said in the tour, Kamakura is my favorite city. I have a good friend who lives in Kamakura and visit his home a few times a year. In Kamakura, you can enjoy beautiful Japanese sceneries, like cherry blossoms in Spring, fireflies in June, and autumn leaves etc. It was my pleasure I could guide you to my favorite city, Kamakura. I will remember for a long time, the seaside scenery and a beautiful lunch we enjoyed together. Best regards, Shin

Kamakura is the first and oldest Samurai capital in Japan, built more than 800 years ago.

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.
