“Anime areas of Tokyo”
For GoWithGuide, in your name and from your own day: Masazumi gave our 12-year-old the day she'd been dreaming about for a year. We'd booked him for an anime and manga tour of Ikebukuro and Akihabara, and from the moment he met us in our hotel lobby he understood the brief: this was Samirah's day, and he built everything around her. He took us through Animate and the cosplay shop, found her the dress-up outfit she'd been hoping for, knew which floors of Sunshine City were worth the time and which to skip, and ordered us a proper Japanese lunch of sashimi and yakitori skewers that we'd never have managed alone. In Akihabara he steered us through the crane games and then to Kanda Myojin, where he showed us how to purify our hands and pray properly at our first Shinto shrine, and helped us buy our goshuin stamp book for the rest of the trip. It was Silver Week, 30 degrees and the busiest day of the year, and he handled the crowds with patience and good humour, kept us moving without ever rushing, and had endless knowledge to share with a curious kid. By the end of the day our daughter was walking through Tokyo in her new dress and elf ears, grinning from ear to ear. If you have a young anime fan, book him. Highly recommended. Brendon, Nisha and Samirah, Canberra, Australia

Dear Brendon, Nisha, and Samirah, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful and heartfelt review! It was truly an honor and a privilege to spend the day with your family during Silver Week. Despite the heat and the busy holiday crowds, your family's warm energy and curiosity made the entire day a complete joy for me as well. I hope the rest of your travel through Japan is filled with equally amazing memories and plenty more goshuin stamps! Warmest regards, Masazumi Ogawa

“Excellent Tour”
We had an excellent tour with Masazumi. He had great communication to create a custom tour for us. He arrived early at our hotel lobby. He spoke excellent English. He was very informative about the many sights we visited. He took us to great shopping areas and helped us with ordering lunch. It made our day a breeze. We really enjoyed our day and Masazumi made it very special. Thank you.

I have lived in Tokyo for a long time, and I like Tokyo and really enjoy the life of Tokyo. I love eating, shopping and cooking, so Tokyo is one of most exciting places in Japan for me!! I think, not only for me and Japanese people, but also foreign tourists. I want to give you unforgettable memories in Japan. My top priority is to help you discover, enjoy, experience and feel Japanese culture, gourmet and life with the heart of Japanese hospitality. I’m interested in cross-cultural exchange. Let’s talk a lot about anything you want to know and try to do in Japan. I’m looking forward to seeing you the tour.
