Reviews

A kind and well-organised guide. Thank you Shu, for an exceptional day out!

We had a fabulous day with Shu, who I recommend as a guide. I knew that after recent changes to the Ghibli ticket purchasing system, it would be harder than ever to purchase them from my home country, and I wanted the best odds of including this museum on my itinerary. I figured Shu would know best how to access the system from within Japan as he's done so many times. I felt fortunate that he successfully purchased tickets for the 10am opening time and also that we managed to book him, since guides can only book one lot of tickets per month. We are Ghibli fans, and the highlight of the museum for me was an exhibition of the exquisite art from 'The Boy and the Heron. We could have easily spent longer examining all the artwork from other Ghibli movies that covered the walls elsewhere. The room showing how animation works was delightful, the models and carousel whimsical and fun. So was the short movie. I felt joy as I viewed all the pieces. Possibly someone who isn't a Ghibli fan wouldn't enjoy it as much after all the hype over ticket purchases. But I felt it was true to the spirit of its creator and I loved it. Shu improved our visit by knowing where to go, not rushing us at all, and being very considerate of my sore feet (from my two prior weeks of walking everywhere in Japan). I took lots of breaks throughout the day. He took us to an izekaya for lunch which served delicious local food, and suggested we try some items we wouldn't have otherwise. That was a great success. We then visited the architectural museum. The grounds are full of significant Japanese buildings that were painstakingly moved there in their original condition. Shu showed us screenshots from some of the Ghibli movies and paired them with the buildings that may very well have inspired them (I was certainly convinced). The buildings are beautiful and worth seeing even without their connection to the Ghibli films, but Shu's thoughts on that and his knowledge of history enriched the experience.

Excellent Guide with interesting insights

We went with Shuichi to the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Museum and the Ghibli Museum. Both were wonderful experiences. Shuichi went above and beyond to engage my family on the long train ride there and was especially sweet to my 8yo son. The open air museum was interesting on it's own, but Shuichi made it even more enjoyable with his own personal insights about the place. I highly recommend a tour with Shuichi. He is both a fantastic guide and a wonderful person.

Hi, I'm Ritsuko, a national licensed tour guide. I was born and raised in Tokyo. As Tokyo is a city of many faces, I hope you will discover your hidden gems during the tour. I love to wander around the shops and places downtown and one of my hobbies is to find daily-use products made in Japan. So I can select unique souvenirs for you within your budget! I am football-mad and have been to every FIFA World Cup except one tournament since 1998. I also love to go island hopping in Asia. That's why I have been to over 30 countries. Wherever I went, people were so kind to me. So, it's my turn. I will do my best to make your tour a memorable one! Hope to hear from you soon.

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 came to Japan in 1998, intending to stay a few months, but enjoying Japan, I never left. I was intrigued by the history, culture, language, and food. And the fascination and excitement of exploring and learning new things about Japan still exists with me today. The variety and choices of things to do and places to go can be overwhelming. I can offer you suggestions and a unique perspective on Japan. I can share local knowledge about things often missed. Fluent in Japanese with a master's degree in Japanese Studies and living in Japan for over 20 years, I can be your guide.
