“Fantastic Experience”
Atsuko was so professional and helpful. There were so many highlights to our trip, including her assistance with rail tickets and showing us how to use the metro for the rest of our experience. Thankyou Atsuko!

Thank you so much taking your time to write such a fantastic review! I appreciate Annette and John and Marie. Annette and John are experienced world traveler and have great energy. It was unusually hot day in Tokyo. Also you arrived Japan the same day of the tour however they were great never said tired and too hot. I was impressed by your energy. I hope you have a wonderful time in Tokyo and other prefectures in Japan!

“Repeat Customer ”
Well, how does working with Atsuko two years in a row sound as far as a recommendation :) I commented last year how it felt more like walking around with a friend who knew everything about the area we were touring. I had to remember it was a guided tour. Last year was a one 4 hour tour. This year I booked two 4 hour tours and couldn’t be happier. I think what I like most is how willing Atsuko is to join in on activities. Granted for me that’s typically eating, but whether it’s street food or lunch Atsuko is just one more person at the table, trying street food or playing at the cat cafe. I suppose everyone has a different idea of what a guide should offer, but for me forgetting your guide is a guide but a friend exploring and experiencing everything with you … well, that’s my description of a great tour guide! I can’t recommend Atsuko highly enough if my version of success matches your idea of what a guide should offer. (The red rain coat was great for not getting lost in the crowds!)
Atsuko T.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review Matthew!! I really appreciate your kind consideration. Also you gave me a gift from your country that I can not buy in Japan. I really love it. It was great time you and your friend Bruce. Hope you had a wonderful time in Japan not only Tokyo. Hope to see you again someday.

“Enjoying Tokyo with Atsuko”
Enjoying Tokyo with Atsuko is like walking around with a good friend. We instantly bonded with her which made the experience so pleasant. In the two days we spent together we were able to see Tokyo highlights and enjoy two amazing lunches. Her knowledge of the city made the tours interesting. We highly recommend her tours.
Atsuko T.
Thank you for taking time to write me excellent review again. I looked your Instagram there are a lot of beautiful pictures on cruise. Mt.Fuji from ship is so beautiful to see. I've never seen from that angle. Hope you had a wonderful time on your journey.

Yoko I.
Hello, I'm Yoko. I was born and brought up in Ashikaga, Tochigi prefecture (80 km north from Tokyo) and I've lived in Tokyo for more than 20 years. I love traveling, both overseas and inside Japan. After I visited other countries and saw many local cultures there, I realized that Japan has a variety of unique cultures with a lot of tourist attractions. I hope you enjoy your stay in Japan. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!

Toru I.
Hello to all of you on the screen. My name is Toru Ishii and I am a licensed national interpretater of English language. I have been guiding scrolling around a Japanese landscape garden designated as Scenic Beauty in Yokohama city for the last 2 years. I would like to explain about time-honored Japanese architectures, transfered from Kyoto and Kamakura, designated as Important Cultural Property. I am also interested in Tea Ceremony and in the ritual of serving powdered green tea in the garden. Yokohama opened its door to overseas comers in 1859 after the Meiji Restoration. The port of Yokohama shared about 70 percents of overseas trading in Japan. The main export was raw silk thread. Now the beautiful city of Yokohama has become historically exotic and ranks as one of the most fascinating internationally trading city that attracts many foreign tourists. I am always happy to guide tourists around this historical region and Introduce the delights of Japanese cuisine and Chinese cuisine in China town according to the visitor's requests. Stepping further out from Yokohama, I would recommend Kamakura city, a 20 minutes train ride on the JR Line, where the visitor can feel the fresh ocean breeze. The nearby Zen Buddhist temples and the Great Buddha are main attractions and souvenir shopping adds the excitement. Kamakura was established by the first Shogun, Yoritomo Minamoto, in 1192 and the shogunate government lasted till 1333. He established his Samurai government which ruled over Japan. After arriving at Kamakura or Kita-Kamakura station, the visitor can easily walk around the city. This city is easily accesable by train from Yokohama (less than 30 minutes) and Tokyo (less than 1 hour). As for my background, I have experienced staying in Louisiana in the United States and studied at the university there. Now I am 60 years old and I am still working for a company, while at the same time, I work as a volunteer guide a few days a month in Yokohama city. I like traveling in foreign countries, and have experienced short time staying at several European countries, North America as well as some Asian countries. Last January, I travelled San Fransico and Merced city, California. I would be delighted to exchange cultural experience with many visitors from all over the world. If you happen to be visiting my country and if you are interested , please feel free to contact me. Toru Ishii

Kent I.
Hello! I'm Kent. I'm a master of Tea Ceremony and Ikebana, as well as a software developer. With over 10 years of experience, I've assisted with tea ceremonies at Zen temples and participated in Ikebana exhibitions for tourists, gaining deep insights into Japanese culture. While I studied these cultural traditions privately, I majored in engineering and earned a degree in the field from Kyoto University. My days in Kyoto has made me familier with local lives and cultural activities. After graduating, I worked in robot software development, collaborating remotely with colleagues in Michigan and engaging with clients and sales teams in Germany, India, and China. Their strong interest in Japanese culture and my background deepened my appreciation for Japan’s heritage, inspiring me to guide tours and practice cultural activities. I currently live in Shinjuku, Tokyo, with my wife, enjoying life here. I’ve joined a robot startup and am working flexibly while continuing to guide tours. My aim is to share the rich history and culture of Japan through my tours and offer creative, immersive experiences.
