“Tour deludente / Disapponing tour ”
ITA: Ho prenotato questa visita guidata con l’obiettivo di visitare i punti principali di Tokyo e scoprirne la storia e curiosità a riguardo. Purtroppo sono rimasta molto delusa dal tour a causa della superficialità e mancanza di entusiasmo da parte di Virginia nell’esporre la storia dei luoghi visitati e nel rispondere alle nostre domande. Quello che pensavamo sarebbe stato un arricchimento culturale si è rilevato essere un tour che avremmo potuto fare tranquillamente da soli, leggendo qualche informazione su Internet. EN: I booked this guided tour with the goal of visiting key spots in Tokyo and learning about their history and interesting facts. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed; Virginia’s presentation of the history of the places we visited—as well as her responses to our questions—lacked both depth and enthusiasm. What we had hoped would be an enriching cultural experience turned out to be a tour we could have easily done on our own, simply by reading a bit of information online.

Cara Shirin, La ringrazio molto per aver condiviso il suo feedback. Mi dispiace sinceramente che il tour non sia stato all'altezza delle sue aspettative e che non abbia trasmesso quell'entusiasmo e quell'approfondimento culturale che cerco sempre di offrire ai miei ospiti. Apprezzo molto le sue parole, poiché i vostri commenti sono per me uno stimolo prezioso per migliorare costantemente la qualità delle mie visite guidate a Tokyo. Farò tesoro di questa esperienza per arricchire ulteriormente i contenuti storici e curare ogni dettaglio con maggiore attenzione in futuro. Spero di avere l'occasione di accogliervi nuovamente a Tokyo per offrirvi un'esperienza decisamente migliore. Un cordiale saluto, Virginie Dear Shirin, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. I am sincerely sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations and that it fell short of the depth and enthusiasm I always strive to provide for my guests. I truly value your comments, as guest feedback is essential for helping me continuously improve the quality of my tours in Tokyo. I will certainly use this experience to enrich the historical insights and pay closer attention to every detail moving forward. I hope to have the opportunity to welcome you to Tokyo again in the future and provide you with a much more rewarding experience. Warm regards, Virginie

“Mount Takao and onsen”
Virginie was a wonderful guide. Had a lovely day with her exploring Takao and finishing up by relaxing at the onsen. It was great to have Virginie help navigate the trip out of Tokyo.

Masahiro N.
Hallo zusammen! Ich heiße Masahiro, aber meine Freunde nennen mich Masa. Nach meinem Studium in Tokio habe ich von 2006 bis 2013 in Wien gelebt. 2013 bin ich endgültig nach Japan zurückgekehrt. Während meiner Zeit in Wien habe ich die deutschsprachige Welt und ihre Kultur sehr intensiv kennengelernt. Heute möchte ich eine Brücke zwischen dem deutschsprachigen Raum und Japan sein – und genau deshalb arbeite ich als Reiseleiter. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass diese Aufgabe meine Lebensaufgabe geworden ist. Für mich ist ein Guide so etwas wie ein privater Diplomat. Er verbindet Menschen aus verschiedenen Ländern und Kulturen und hilft ihnen, einander besser zu verstehen. Ich habe bereits Erfahrung darin, meine Gäste durch viele verschiedene Orte in Japan zu führen, unter anderem durch: • Tokio • Kamakura( Kanagawa) • die Region um den Fuji • Kawagoe(Saitama) • Nikko(Tochigi) • Karuizawa (Nagano) • Kanazawa(Ishikawa) • Kyoto • Osaka • Kobe • Himeji • Nagasaki …und natürlich gibt es noch viele weitere Orte zu entdecken! Ich wohne heute in der Nähe von Tokio. Deshalb sind Touren in Tokio und der Umgebung für mich besonders gut machbar. Eine Reise macht das Leben bunt! Lassen Sie Ihren Alltagsstress hinter sich und genießen Sie entspannte Momente, neue Entdeckungen und interessante Begegnungen – vielleicht sogar den einen oder anderen kleinen Kulturschock. Ich freue mich sehr darauf, Sie auf Ihrer Reise durch Japan zu begleiten! Bis bald in Japan!

Hello, I was born in 1956 in Hiroshima and have lived in Tokyo for over 40 years. I have a license of “National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter”. I love outdoor activities, especially fishing and golf. I have been to CANADA for 6 months as a bank trainee and have worked for 5 years in the US at the age of my 30s. It is my pleasure to show you around in Japan. As you know, there are four seasons in Japan and you can enjoy the nature of each season. Especially in spring time, cherry blossoms in full bloom welcome you. Japan is a safe country, meals are very delicious, and you can explore Japanese great history at the spiritual places of shrines and temples. Please contact me. You are assured to have an enjoyable and memorial trip. I'm looking forward to having wonderful time with you. See you!

Kaori S.
Kon-ni-chi-wa. Hello! I'm Kaori, having lived in Tokyo for more than 20 years since I got married to a photographer who lives here. Originally from Shizuoka prefecture which has Mt.Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan. I took 2 working-holiday-visa stays in my younger days. One is in Toronto, Canada, and another is Australia touring by motorcycle. One year respectively. I love travel both international and domestic. I myself love travel freely. That's how I love helping individual travelers like you. Love nature, gardens, trekking, greenery, also anime. My favorite is taking you to the off-the-beaten tracks where I love and sharing my seasonal favorites. I'm happy to make tailor-made tours only for you (up to 4 people) upon your request. ・Half Day as you like (up to 4 hours) : 40,000 JPY ・Full Day as you like (up to 8 hours) : 64,000 JPY ・Extra hour over 8hours : 6,000 JPY/hour I often spend multiple days with the same group to accommodate itinerary for multi days by including my seasonal favorites. I often do Mt.Fuji or Hakone tour. In many cases, the locations are mixed up between Mt.Fuji Five Lakes area and Hakone area, which are not the same place. Please refer to the map I uploaded on gallery to check the sites you are interested in. Also my blogs will help your understanding both areas - "The location difference of Mt.Fuji (Fuji Five Lakes) and Hakone". As a national government licensed guide, I've got deep knowledge of Japanese culture and history. But more than that, I really enjoy talking about the way of life with people from different cultures. I'm quite an outgoing person, ( but organized well! ), easy to get along with anybody, including small kids to teenagers. Can't wait to see you soon!
