“Amazing trip to Kamakura!”
Mr. Masazumi was great! He took me to so many wonderful places, was extremely patient, knowledgeable, explained the history behind every place we went. He even helped me to book my ticket to Kyoto at the station, took his time after the tour was over to help me put. I highly recommend this guy, he was amazing!!!

“Sights and Sounds of Tokyo”
Masazumi was delightful to spend time with. It was like being with a long-time acquaintance. He led me to the things I wanted to experience and was flexible about visiting alternative locations. Overall, I felt comfortable and got to better understand how to navigate the fascinating city that Tokyo is. And comfortable enough to want to experience the city via train travel on my own while I am in Tokyo. For the English speaking tourist, as myself, no problem with communication.
Masazumi O.
Dear Mr.Sheldon, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure exploring Tokyo with you. I am so glad to hear that you felt comfortable during our time together, almost like spending time with an old friend. Hearing that you now feel confident enough to navigate Tokyo's train system on your own is the best compliment I could receive as a guide! I'm delighted that we were able to visit all the places you wanted to see and enjoy the tour at a flexible pace. I hope you continue to have an amazing time exploring Tokyo and the rest of Japan. If you ever visit Tokyo again, please feel free to reach out! Wishing you safe and wonderful travels, Masazumi Ogawa

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..
