“unforgettable tokyo”
During our trip to Tokyo, we were fortunate to be accompanied by Shuichi, an exceptional guide. Shoe showed us the most beautiful places in the city with extraordinary competence and availability, typical characteristics of the Japanese people. Their empathy and enthusiasm made each visit a unique and unforgettable experience. Thanks to Shuichi, this vacation will forever remain in our hearts as an indelible memory. We highly recommend Shuichi to anyone who wants to discover Tokyo in an authentic and engaging way.

“Ghibli Museum & Edo-Tokyo Architecture Museum Private Tour”
The Ghibli Museum was something we really wanted to do and we knew getting tickets for the time period we were going to be in Tokyo was going to be difficult. Shuichi made the process so much easier for us as he was so attentive in the planning beforehand and when we were there. It was like we were visiting with a kindly uncle who was so good at keeping us engaged and content all the while on schedule. We loved how he was able to point out Miyazaki's places of inspiration while visiting the Edo-Tokyo Architecture Museum and learned many things about Japanese history there. Shuichi made sure we were warm enough and provided hand warmers when the cold winter winds picked up and made it chilly. He even accommodated our request to have lunch at a particular tiny udon restaurant we were interested in checking out. When we let him know we required a taxi to get to our next destination after the tour, he told us not to worry and took care of the arrangements. We enjoyed our day with Shuichi.

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.
