About Tour Guide Hiroshi S.

“Hiroshi is the guy for you!”

We booked a full-day private tour with Hiroshi S. on March 27 for our family of four (2 adults and 2 children, ages 12 & 15), and it was the absolute highlight of our time in Tokyo. From the very beginning, the communication and planning were seamless. Professional & Knowledgeable Hiroshi was waiting for us exactly on time at the Meiji Jingu Shrine parking lot as promised. Throughout the 10+ hour day, he was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, sharing deep insights into Japanese culture, religion, and family life that kept all of us—including our teens—thoroughly engaged. A Truly Customized Experience Hiroshi went above and beyond to make the day special for us: Shibuya: He was happy to take videos of our family crossing the famous Shibuya Scramble and even assisted us with shopping at the Nintendo Center in Shibuya PARCO. Cruising & Culture: He accompanied us on the Symphony Cruise, providing wonderful commentary on our surroundings. He also guided us expertly through the Imperial Palace, Senso-ji Temple, and Nakamise Street. Magical Evening: We visited the Tokyo Skytree for sunset and then had a breathtaking walk along the Meguro River to see the night cherry blossoms (Yozakura) The Grand Finale: We ended our epic day at the glowing Tokyo Tower. Flexible and Fair We actually ended up exceeding our scheduled time by about an hour, and Hiroshi was incredibly reasonable with the additional charges. His flexibility made the end of our long day stress-free. If you are visiting Tokyo and want a guide who is professional, informative, and truly cares about your experience, Hiroshi is the guy for you! We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a personalized Japanese adventure.

Thank you for taking your time to write a review. I’m so glad you enjoyed our one-day tour of Tokyo. Meiji Shrine is a very peaceful place, even though it’s right in the middle of the city. Shibuya is close to Meiji Shrine, but it's a vibrant area for young people and is always bustling with energy. I’m sure you were surprised by the crowds at the Scramble Crossing. On the Symphony Cruise, we were able to enjoy views of Tokyo’s cityscape from the boat, including Odaiba, Tokyo Tower, Tokyo Skytree, etc. The nighttime cherry blossom viewing was also quite charming. If you have the chance to visit Japan again, let’s enjoy Japanese culture and customs together again. This time we were able to see the beautiful cherry blossoms, but next time, please come to see the beautiful autumn leaves. I look forward to seeing you again in Japan!

“Great Times”

We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Hiroshi in Tokyo and Kawagoe. He was incredibly attentive, well‑organized, and thoughtful throughout the day. He kept us on schedule while still making sure we fully enjoyed each stop on our itinerary, which allowed us to see everything we had planned without ever feeling rushed. What truly stood out was how far above and beyond he went at the end of the tour - he personally escorted us all the way to the Shinkansen platform to ensure we boarded the correct train to Osaka on time. Knowing we wouldn’t miss our train gave us so much peace of mind. His time management, attention to detail, and genuine care for our experience made the entire journey smooth and stress‑free. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Tokyo or Kawagoe.

Thank you for writing a review. I also had a great time with you. Kawagoe isn't too far from central Tokyo, but it's a place where you can enjoy the atmosphere of the Edo period. Besides the Edo-era ambience, Kawagoe also boasts many delicious foods, and we enjoyed things like eel and sweets. In Tokyo, we visited Meiji Shrine, Shibuya, Tsukiji Market, and Asakusa. Meiji Shrine is very peaceful despite being in the city center. Shibuya, Tsukiji, and Asakusa were crowded, but I think you were able to enjoy both the quiet and bustling sides of Tokyo. Was the Shinkansen ride to Osaka comfortable? If you have the opportunity to come to Japan again, let's enjoy Japanese culture and food together!

“great day with super nice guide”

I really recommend to visit Tokyo with a guide. This way you avoid being lost many times and waste of time. I am very happy I met Hiroshi! He not only showed me great places in Tokyo, but also helped me find a gift I was looking for. I am very grateful for all his help and very nice company. The trip in his company was a great pleasure. He is not only competent guide, but also very good and kind man. Thank you again Hiroshi, for great time and all your help!

Thank you for taking your time to write a review. Tokyo's transportation system is very convenient, but also very complicated. I hope this tour helped you become familiar with it a little. We visited the Imperial Palace, Harajuku, and Shibuya, and I hope you were able to feel the Edo period atmosphere at the Imperial Palace, the New Year's mood at Meiji Shrine, and the crowds at the Shibuya Scramble Crossing. If you have the opportunity to come to Japan, please contact me again. Let's enjoy Japanese culture and customs together!
