Hello, I'm Hiroshi.
I am a National Government Licensed Tour Guide Interpreter in English. I have got a master's degree in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the U.S.
I have been living in a city of Fujisawa, which is the city next to Kamakura, for more than 20 years, and also lived in Kamakura for more than 10 years. So far, I have visited almost all the temples and shrines in Kamakura. So I am sure I can offer you a pleasant trip to the historical city, Kamakura.
In addition to Kamakura, I can also guide Tokyo, Yokohama, Hakone, Nikko, etc. because I have visited many places in Kanto area. For example, in Tokyo I can show you around the sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine, Tokyo Skytree, etc.
I like baseball and used to play baseball, but now enjoy watching professional baseball games. And I like watching Rakugo, Japanese traditional story-telling performance.
Of course, I also like travelling very much, and am interested in Japanese culture and history. So I would like to show you Japanese tradition and culture.
Let’s enjoy a trip in Japan together.
I am looking forward to seeing you soon.
Nothing speceial.

“Excellent tour guide Hiroshi Suzuki”
Hiroshi met us at our hotel exactly on time and shepherded us through four sites in Hakone by bus train cable car gondola and back home He explained everything, gave us a map and we first saw the amazing Hakone Open air museum with its sculptures by Moore, Rodin and many other famous artists as well as the Picasso Pavilion. We ate black eggs with him at Owakudanu,cruised on Lake Ashi, surveyed the Hakone Checkpoint ruins and ended the tour at the Hakone Shrine.A really satisfying day made better by Hiroshi’s expert and friendly guidance . Five stars from us !! Norma and Ron from Sydney- Australia

(34 reviews)Thank you for your review. I'm very glad to hear you enjoyed our tour in Hakone. I also enjoyed the tour with you. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't that great, so we couldn't see Mt. Fuji and Owakudani was covered in mist. However, we were able to enjoy many artworks at the Hakone Open-Air Museum and we were able to extend our lifespan by eating black eggs at Owakudani! If you have a chance to come to Japan again, please contact me. I can show you around Nikko, Kamakura, etc. Enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan! Hiroshi

“An enjoyable day”
It was a pleasure to meet Hiroshi. He was very informative about where we were going, how to get there and historical background. He designed the day to fit our interests. His English is excellent and my friend and I were very happy with our tour.

(34 reviews)Thank you for writing a review of our tour. I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed the tour in Tokyo. We visited the Imperial Palace and Ueno Park. At the Imperial Palace Museum, we were able to see wonderful paintings and sculptures owned by the Imperial Family. In Ueno Park, we visited shrines and temples to experience the Shinto and Buddhist atmosphere. You are very knowledgeable about art, and I enjoyed the tour with you and increased my knowledge about art. Please enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan, and I look forward to meeting you again in the near future! Hiroshi
“Tokyo and Nikko Tours”
My son and I made a last minute decision to travel to Japan and opted for a guide in Tokyo. We found Hiroshi and were not disappointed at all. He responded quickly to all of my messages and went above and beyond with further explanations if I was ever confused. I am so happy we went with Hiroshi as he made inquiries about our interests and made itineraries based upon our likes/wants. We were able to enjoy Tokyo without worrying about the hassle of figuring out the subway system. We had great food and we were able to fit a lot of sites into a small amount of time. We also went to Nikko, which I highly recommend. Hiroshi made this such an easy day with taking the train and the bus to the UNESCO site. He also went above and beyond and showed my son and myself where we would catch the bullet train at Tokyo Station. He showed us the best entrance location and made it so easy to figure out. Thank you for a great time. We would definitely go with Hiroshi again as a tour guide if we would to return to Japan.

(34 reviews)Thank you for your review. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed our tour of Tokyo and Nikko. I know it was a hot and humid summer in Japan, but we were able to feel the atmosphere of the Shoguns and Emperors at the Imperial Palace and experience Buddhism and Shinto at Asakusa, Meiji Shrine, and Hie Shrine. In Nikko, we were able to enjoy the gorgeous Toshogu Shrine and beautiful nature. I also enjoyed the tour with you very much. If you have the opportunity to come to Japan again, I would appreciate it if you could contact me. I look forward to meeting you again in the near future in Japan! Hiroshi
