Guiding Experience
Since 2019, I have guided a variety of tours, including:
• Private tours

• Cruise ship excursions
I have extensive knowledge of and experience guiding popular destinations across Japan, such as Tokyo, Kamakura, Hakone, Mt. Fuji, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Sendai, Kagoshima, and Okinawa.
Background and Education
After earning a degree in English, I devoted over 35 years to teaching English at high schools and special education schools, while also working with the Prefectural Board of Education. My passion for education extends to online language teaching, where I help students master Japanese, Chinese, and English.
Since I have lived in Kanagawa my whole life, I can offer satisfying private customized tours to each guest group. My recommended destinations in Kanagawa are Kamakura, the seat of Japan's first Shogunate, and Hakone, a popular resort area with mountains and Lake Ashinoko. I can also drive you around some nice places in Japan that foreign tourists don't usually visit.
Please feel free to contact me anytime.
I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!
All tours can be customized for you. Send me a message with your requests!

“A wonderful day in Kamakura ”
Seigu have us a memorable day in Kamakura with visits to five temple and shrine sites with great explanations of their significance. He met us at the train station and guided us through the day and back to the appropriate place at the station form our return trip to Tokyo. Logistics were seamless! He also guided us to a restaurant for dinner with sunset ocean views and a view of Mt Fuji. Unfortunately the weather clouded both but it was exactly what I had asked for (apart from the weather!) A first class tour guide and highly recommended !!

Alfred san, Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was quite a full day, and I’m sure you must have been a bit tired, but I’m happy we were able to visit so many of Kamakura’s main temples and sights together. I really enjoyed spending the day with you both. I’m also glad you could relax and enjoy dinner at the restaurant in Shichirigahama, with that beautiful sunset and a bit of the view of Mt. Fuji. Hope our paths cross again someday! Seigo

“Wonderful day tour of Kamakura and Enoshima. ”
Seigo was a terrific host, our tour around Kamakura (Houkokuji, Komachi-dori, Kotokuin, Hasedera and ending at Enoshima at dusk) was a great experience. Seigo's willingness to accommodate our needs was greatly appreciated and his recommendation for a restaurant at the end of our tour was a hit!

“Amazing Tour Guide”
Seigo San was our Tour Guide for 2 days. My parents were old and couldn't walk to much, Mr. Seigo was able to rearrange our trip to accommodate my parents where they could sit down and relax while I could still enjoy my sight seeing. I would recommend Mr. Seigo San to all my friends and relatives on our next trip to Japan.

Judy san, thank you so much for leaving such a lovely review. We were truly blessed with two days of beautiful weather, and it was such a good fortune to see Mount Fuji from so many different spots. I’m delighted that you all enjoyed exploring Hakone, the Mt. Fuji area, and Kamakura. I’ll be looking forward to your next visit to Japan—when you return, I’ll take you not only to the places you wish to see but also to some of my own special recommendations. Seigo
