Gunma Tour

Knowledgeable guide with lots of experience. He made a change for viewing Sakura which was a good decision which increased the cost of our van. Says that transportation company increased the cost due to the change but I can’t recall being notified of this change. Was also charged with 2900yen of tolls which I paid but was never told about this prior. I paid all of this but don’t think I was told ahead of time

Edward san, Thank you very much for your excellent review for me. We visited Tomioka Silk Mill, Takasaki Daimonya, Daruma, Shiraijuku Yaezakura street and I am pleased that you could enjoy there. Also, we tasted the specialty food of Gunma as Mizusawa Udon noodle that was good for you, I think. We could talk and exchange various information about every tour spots. I am sorry to bother you about the Van taxi fee payment. I hope that you could continue to enjoy your tour in Japan. Thanks, Kashima

A Wonderful Day Exploring Kamakura

We had a lovely day visiting Kamakura with Kashima as our guide. He kindly picked us up from our hotel in Tokyo and accompanied us all the way to Kamakura, which made the experience very comfortable and easy from beginning to end. During the day, Kashima guided us through several of the most important and beautiful places in Kamakura, including Kōtoku-in and the Great Buddha, Hase-dera, Tsurugaoka Hachimangū, and the charming streets and atmosphere that make Kamakura so special. At every stop, Kashima shared a great deal of historical information and context, and it was clear how much knowledge and passion he has for the history of the area. At times, it was a little challenging for us to fully understand everything in English, but we very much appreciated the effort and the amount of information he wanted to share with us. One detail we especially appreciated was that Kashima prepared a document for us in advance with information about the different places we would be visiting during the tour. It was very helpful and showed the care and preparation he put into making the day special. At the end of the tour, he also took the time to explain to us clearly how to continue our journey to Hakone, which was extremely helpful and made the next part of our trip much easier. Overall, we are very grateful for the experience and for the opportunity to discover Kamakura with him.

Ignacio san, Thank you very much for your upmost review to me. We visited Kamakura city including Great Buddha in Kotokuin-temple, Hasedera temple, Houkokuji temple and Tsuruoka-Hachiman shrine. Kamakura used to be a Samurai town where Shogun lived and dominated Japan. Therefore, there are still Samurai related atmosphere remained at present and I am pleased that you could feel that. Also, during through Komachi-food & souvenir street with tasting sweets, we could feel the nice atmosphere Thanks to your strong curiosity about Japan, we could talk and exchange various information about every tour spots. I am very much pleased that you could enjoy the tour. Thanks, Kashima,
