Don san, thank you very much for your upmost review for me. I am very much pleased that you could enjoy the Kanazawa tour with me. Kanazawa is said to be little Kyoto by the tour spots such as Kanazawa Castle remains, Kenrokuen garden, Nagamachi Samurai residence, Oumimachi market and Higashi Chaya district where we visited, Those spots are all related to the biggest feudal load as Maeda family during 16th century to 19th century. I think you could relax to see Kanazawa which are not so much jammed compared with Kyoto. We could exchange various information and lots of conversation for each tour spot including historical background. Thank you very much for your strong interest in Japanese culture and history. Kashima,

“A wonderful day doing the Hakone loop”
Kashima san was an absolutely wonderful guide. I I booked him for a private day tour originating in Tokyo and taking the Shinkansen to Hakone to do the loop and visit in Onsen. He met me at my hotel and was incredibly professional organized and knowledgeable. Throughout the day, he shared information with me about the sites we were seeing and about Japan in general, including some really interesting history and aspects of Japanese culture. He even printed out an organized folder for me covering the things we would do during the tour as well as some interesting reading about Japan in Tokyo. The restaurant he picked for lunch had fantastic food. Aside from that he is a delightful person to spend a day with. Highly recommended!
Kashima H.
Brian san, thank you very much for your upmost review to me. We visited Hakone from Tokyo including Oowakudani valley with riding Hakone mountain train, Cable car and Ropeway and Hakone shrine where many historical Shogun and high-level Buddhist monks also had visited to pray for their success and Brian san asked me very much unique request to make experience of brief hot spring which is located just near Hakone Yumoto station. Thanks to your aggressive curiosity and physical strength to acquire Japanese culture and nature beauty, I was very much inspired to exchange various information and lots of conversation for each tour spot and also enjoyed funny conversation for various topics for both Japan and USA. I hope that you visit Japan again in near future so that I can introduce other nice tour spots for you. Thanks, Kashima

“Outdoor Art and Steaming Sulphur Vents in Hakone”
Kashimi gave us a notebook with great background information on our tour sites and Japan. The outdoor art museum and cable car and ropeway trip to steaming sulphur vents in the caldera were the trip highlights. We greatly enjoyed our day with him.

Hello! I am Rieko, a licensed tour guide with a deep passion for sharing the wonders of Gunma. Located in the center of the main island of Japan, Gunma has been a place where travelers from various parts of Japan, like Tokyo, Niigata, and Nagano, come and go. Some would relax in a hot spring, others would be encouraged by beautiful scenery. Gunma has helped them rejuvenate and keep traveling with energy. Drawing from my experience as a local tour guide and knowledge of Japanese culture, history, and traditions, I offer you a seamless and immersive journey. Embark on an adventure with me and discover the untold stories, hidden treasures, and vibrant local communities that make Gunma a truly remarkable destination. I hope to see you soon!

Born and bred in Tokyo I am still living in the suburbs of Tokyo. I spent several years in the U.S. and the UK and wanted to show international visitors around Japan in return for the hospitality I had received in foreign countries. After coming back from the UK, I obtained the qualification of the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I can guide guests to every corner of Tokyo including areas off the beaten track. As a history fan I can tell you a historical episode behind the scenes. From a local perspective I can explain how we Japanese are getting along. Since I have science and technology backgrounds, I can give you a tour of scientific or technical things as well..

Hello! I’m Your Friendly Guide to Japan’s Kanto Region I’m based in the beautiful Tochigi Prefecture and absolutely love sharing Japan’s amazing culture, history, and hidden spots with visitors like you. Before doing tour guiding, I was a public school teacher, so I’m great at making stories come alive and helping you really connect with the places we visit. I speak Japanese at an advanced level (N2), and I’ve spent a lot of time exploring Japan—from living a year in the peaceful town of Kamishihoro in Hokkaido to wandering the bustling streets of Tokyo. This means I can give you insider tips and deep insights that go beyond the usual tourist trails. *What I Offer* I mainly guide around the Kanto area, which includes Tokyo, Yokohama, Saitama, Ibaraki, Gunma, and of course, Tochigi. Here are some of the fun tours I can take you on: - **Utsunomiya Cultural Immersion:** Spend a day discovering the unique charm and tasty eats of Utsunomiya. - **Tokyo All-in-One:** Explore both East and West Tokyo in a single day for a full city experience. - **Anime & Pop Culture Tours:** Tailor-made adventures based on your favorite shows, games, and characters. - **Kanto Day Trips:** Visit iconic spots like Nikko’s stunning temples or Kamakura’s historic sites. I also love guiding in other parts of Japan, especially Kyoto—I’ve seen every World Heritage Site there! Plus, I often run tours in Osaka, Nara, Nagoya, Hikone, and more, all easy to reach by train. *Customize Your Journey* Every tour is flexible and designed just for you. To make your trip even more memorable, I can create a beautifully crafted photo album with music from your tour—perfect for sharing or keeping as a souvenir.
