Catherine san, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m delighted to hear that you enjoyed visiting Yokohama’s Red Brick Warehouse, watching the sunset and Fujisan from Umihotaru, and exploring the Daikoku Parking Area car meeting. I, too, had an amazing time spending the day with you and your two wonderful sons. Thank you also for sharing the two fantastic photos. They will always be a cherished memory. I look forward to seeing you again! Warm regards, Seigo

Amazing Day in Tokyo with Siego

Our family (from Australia) spent a day with Siego U in Tokyo for New Years Eve 2024. It was our first trip to Japan. Siego planned a perfect, action packed itinerary for us which we absolutely loved… we visited shrines, spent time in a hedgehog cafe, had sushi train lunch, dressed in Kimonos and walked the old streets of Asakusa and enjoyed a delicious dinner at a sumo restaurant. He made us feel comfortable in an unfamiliar city where we don’t speak the language. He taught us a few great words too! Siego San - you are sugoi (awesome). We will remember our day with you forever. Janne (bye) and thanks for everything. Tracy, Jim, Ben and Sarah.

Seigo U.

Dear Tracy san, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to spend such a special day, New Year’s Eve, with you and your family. Seeing all of your bright smiles brought me so much joy. That day will forever hold a special place in my heart. I sincerely hope you and your family fully enjoy your first trip to Japan and return home with cherished memories. Tracy, Jim, Ben, and Sarah, Jaa-mata-ne! (See you again) Seigo Warm regards,

Five Stars for an Unforgettable Experience with Seigo!

Our family adventure to Mount Fuji and Hakone was exceptionally guided by Seigo, a personal guide whose professionalism and dedication transformed our day into an unforgettable journey. From the get-go, Seigo exhibited strong communication, detailing our day's itinerary and ensuring we were all set for an early morning start right from our hotel at 7 am. The highlight for my children, aged 11 and 12, was unquestionably the morning hike at Arakurayama Sengen Park, we embarked on a challenging yet immensely rewarding 40-45 minute trek, culminating in a breathtaking view of Mount Fuji that will be etched in our memories forever. It's a testament to Seigo's planning that, despite the hike's demands, it turned out to be the highlight for my kids, marking a pinnacle in their Japan experience. Lunch was another delightful moment, as Seigo introduced us to Sushiro. It wasn't just the food that was amazing; the affordability was a pleasant surprise – a rare find in tourist areas that Seigo skillfully navigated us to. The day continued with a visit to see the Owakudani Valley, followed by a serene pirate ship ride down Lake Oshinoko. Even with the day packed with activities, Seigo's scheduling was impeccable, ensuring he was always there, waiting to guide us to our next adventure without feeling rushed. Our journey through Hakone, enriched by Seigo's insightful narration on the history and significance of each site, painted a picture of Japan that was as educational as it was enchanting. Despite encountering traffic on our return, Seigo managed to bring us home by 6:30pm, closing the day smoothly. Seigo wasn't just a guide; he was a cornerstone of our Japan experience, solving any issue and answering every question with patience and expertise. I cannot recommend him enough. If you're seeking a knowledgeable, personable, and truly exceptional guide for your travels in Japan, requesting Seigo is the way to go!

Seigo U.

Jenny san, Thank you for writing such a wonderful review of our tour. I also enjoyed our journey to Mt. Fuji and Hakone with you and your kids. They are wonderful and innocent, just as children should be. You were fortunate to appreciate Fujisan, which was more beautiful than usual, from many different locations that day. Your family also made it to the top of the hill by climbing some 400 steps to have one of the stunning views of that day. Honestly, I thought traveling in the two areas from and to Tokyo in one day was not a piece of cake, but we got it done thanks to your cooperation and understanding of my plan, which was just amazing. I appreciate you here. I hope to see you and your kids again! Seigo

I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.

I’ve called Japan home for seven years, embracing everything from Tokyo’s vibrant urban energy to the tranquillity of the countryside. Before becoming a guide, I explored Tokyo like a curious long-term traveller, uncovering unusual temples, quirky landmarks, hidden backstreets, local live music venues, rural mountain villages, and one-of-a-kind cultural gems. My passion lies in crafting immersive journeys that dive deep into Japan’s heart, sparking a sense of wonder and escape that makes travellers feel worlds away from home. I’m excited to guide you through the Tokyo labyrinth. This city is endlessly fascinating—so layered and dynamic that even with a lifetime here, you’d only scratch the surface. I’ll show you how to navigate it like a local, as mastering the transport system isn’t as tricky as it seems, and I’ll help you gain the confidence to explore Tokyo on your own while we focus on the city’s hidden treasures. Together, we can visit parts of Tokyo most travellers overlook—the nostalgic charm of the Shitamachi, the hustle of salaryman districts, the neon-lit buzz of cyber Tokyo, and tranquil local power spots. Let’s discover the city’s hidden depths and create memories that will last a lifetime!
