A great day with Sami in Kamakura! - Our day with Sami in Kamakura was wonderful! She is a top-notch guide who is kind and considerate. Sami took into account the need for fewer stairs and planned accordingly. She sent us ideas ahead of time and also information. This was so appreciated. Sami met us right on time and looked after us the whole day. She recommended a great place to go for lunch which we really enjoyed. Sami is a historian at heart and knowledgeable about places and people. We would definitely recommend Japan Guide Agency and absolutely Sami as your guide!

Best tour ever! Andy picked us up from our hotel and took us back to our hotel. We are both active 80 years young. - Andy picked us up from the hotel and took us on a private tour at the best price ever. We are both 80 years active. He talked us through tour options and we came up with our plan. Andy picked us up at our hotel and delivered us back. He filled us in with Japanese culture, historic information, and food (lunch was delicious and we invited him to join us). We took the trains and buses, mixed with the locals (much better than a car tour). We now have a new friend in Andy.

A day in Yokohama well spent - Yusuke met us at the pier promptly. He was professional, charming, and extremely knowledgeable about all things Japan regarding the history and culture of its people. We traveled by bus and train and taxi to see how the city works and has access to its wonderful sites. We even got to have a local sushi lunch. Our day spent with Yusuke as our guide was well worth the price of this excursion. Thank you again Yusuke.

Kiyo and Kamakura - Kiyo San was an excellent guide who lives in the Kamakura area and knows it very well. She kept our walking interesting by providing comments along the way regarding what we were seeing and passing. She has a very good knowledge of local and Japanese history to help understand how events impacted the Kamakura area. It was a busy, fun day and the time flew by!

Good way to see a lot of Tokyo in 1 day - Kenzo did a great job before and during our tour. He helped us plan an itinerary that worked for us. He was knowledgeable of all of the places and navigated the public transportation superbly. (We probably boarded 15-20 subways or trains.)

A delightful introduction to Tokyo - The day flew by, one wonderful experience after another! Kenzo Ito was so well informed and shared historical and cultural facts galore. I fully felt his enthusiasm and it reaffirmed my personal observations of the beauty, grace and timeless serenity of our surroundings amidst moments of the hustle and bustle of life today. A great juxtaposition!

Enjoyable tour from Yokohama to Kamakura - Enjoyable tour from Yokohama to Kamakura led by guides Ken and Shun, who accompanied us all the way by 3 trains and explained the history well. Apart from the Buddha, they also spent some time showing us Yokohama.
