What a special time spent in Hiroshima with an inspirational guide who not only shared the challenging history of Hiroshima but also showed us many hidden gems that were beautiful, peaceful and uplifting. Sei was a remarkable guide with exceptional knowledge of his home town.

If you are looking for a guide to help you navigate Tokyo and Yokahama, Japan, look no further. You will not find a better guide than Seizo Kamiuto. We booked Seizo about two months before our trip. We corresponded back and forth about what we wanted to see. He offered us suggestions, and after we had reached an agreement, he met us upon our arrival at the cruise port of Yokohama and accompanied us by train to Tokyo. He was always punctual and dependable. He even took us back to the ship in Yokohama both nights that we were there. He was flawless in his ability to guide us through the east side and west side sights of the city on successive days. He is very knowledgable about Japan’s history, and his English is very good. He is also smart, savvy and experienced. He was able to give us the background of whatever we were seeing. He was incredibly helpful with the subway transportation system, which allowed us to navigate all its complexities without standing in lines or needing to study maps, etc. We whizzed through. The last thing we wanted to be doing was to drop time trying to find the right train or connecting train in our limited time there. Seizo was right there with us every step of the way. The full-day itineraries he carefully chose of various sights, gardens and museums were wonderful. If we wanted to do something slightly different he would present us with options of how to do those things instead of or in addition to what he had set. Seizo was helpful in so many ways on our two day stay. It would have been impossible to visit the number of excellent sights that we saw with a less experienced guide. He was sensitive to our needs and wishes. He provided historical contexts to what we were experiencing, and he shared with us the appropriate customs of his country, i.e., while visiting temples, shrines, and classic Japanese tea houses. Experiencing the culture and beauty of Tokyo was so easy, rewarding and easy with Seizo. We highly recommend him!

Our guide Kaeko Tanigawa was FABULOUS! We had a most interesting day exploring temples and shrines while learning history, religion and culture. It was my son‘s birthday the day we took the tour, and Kaeko planned a fantastic lunch for us right in the heart of Kiyomizu. This day was very memorable. I would highly recommend it.

Yoshi did a wonderful job during our two days of touring - he provided us with a full itinerary In Kyoto and Nara, including visiting the Deer Park and Monkey refugem, while listening carefully to the needs of our two kids - Thank you so much Yoshi!

It was a good experience. We saw some shopping districts, historical buildings and beautiful parks. Michio made it easy for us to explore the city in short time.

After satisfying my curiosity @Toyosu Market, my guide Isao Kito brought me to Tsukiji Market and I had a great time there. Isao is warm and sincere, and I can feel he earnestly tries his best to make the best of my visit there. Has a great local knowledge of the market and showed me the gems there. Thanks for a great insider experience, Isao!

It was the best decision to book a personal tourguide to see in one day 4 so important and inspiring shrines and locations without loosing time finding my way alone with complex underground system. Naomi was a very kind and knowledgable guide, giving me the needed time to wait and see these inspiring temples, aswell as taking photos as I wished. Communicating was easy and effective. I warmly recommend her as your reliable tourguide!

Shu was a great guide who helped us with much more than sight seeing. He helped us with buying tickets and navigating around Kyoto. His English is extremely good and we learnt so much. Thank you Shu!

Our tour guide was amazing—polite, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind! They ensured we visited all the spots we wanted within the timeline. Highly recommended!

Our Tokyo tour guide was amazing—polite, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind! They ensured we visited all the spots we wanted within the timeline. Highly recommended!

Did a tour of Enoshima Island and the surrounding temples and shrines. Beautiful area of Japan and amazing views from the Island itself. But what really made the tour stand out for us was our tour guide An. She was so considerate and informative we just learned so much about the history at the area from her. She was even willing to stay beyond the 6 hours to help us complete the items on the tour. And to help us ensure we had the right trains should get back to Yokohama. She really made the day enjoyable and complete for us. Highly recommend the tour and unquestionably recommend touring with An if she is available.

Shoten, thank you for a wonderful experience touring Kanazawa and the great memories you have created for our family. We appreciated your knowledge, professionalism, how you adapted to our Australian sense of humour and the great photography. Ending the tour with the world-famous Kanazawa golden ice cream was a hit with the kids. All in all a fun day and a great way to appreciate the beauty, history and culture of Kanazawa.

Kaeko was amazing!! My friends are a lot to deal with and she was so kind, outgoing, and knowledgeable of all the places we visited. I would highly suggest you request her if you plan on taking this tour.

Hiro was an excellent guide to Kyoto for our family. We had 3 generations- teens to grandparents and he catered to all of us. The tour was interesting and informative, a perfect introduction to Kyoto.

While my husband was on business, I did a 6 hour solo tour. My guide spoke perfect English, explained the history, told stories and covered so much ground… i had a great day! I learned how to use the subway, navigate and loved learning about the shrines and temples. Highly recommend for every traveler, as the language can be intimidating and Tokyo is massive.
