Thank you very much for your beautiful comments. We are very happy to hear you all enjoyed the tour in Kamakura. Kamakura has a deep connection with the history of samurai. We are looking forward to serving you all again!

My family spent the day exploring Kamakura and some surrounding areas with Yoshi and a lovely driver. Her English was excellent! We had the best time and we would never have been able to get as much in one day on our own of with a large group tour. We really enjoyed the tours of the different shrines and temples as well as explanations of Japanese culture. One of the highlights was an official matcha tasting by one of the shrines. Another highlight was the cup of noodles museum!
Our day was completely customized for us which was lovely.

Masae was a wonderful native Japanese guide and was a pleasure spending the day with her and her driver. Masae knew and explained the history taking us to places no one esle might know of, while her driver (whose name I cannot recall) knew all the shortcuts and best vantage points. Masae was so kind that she messaged us 5 weeks later to make sure we were safe when a big earthquake hit West Japan as she knew we were traveling all over.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review after a long trip!! First of all, I'm so glad to know you finally made home safely.
Tak & I were very fortunate to be able to accompany you and your family to Kamakura, Enoshima and a bit of Yokohama on the way back, finding a secret hidden spot to see the Gundam Factory thing by chance. Very impressed with your son's great command of Japanese! Thank you again for choosing our tour and very happy to know that Jacob knows our company operates with two staff, a government-certified tour guide and a driver to maximize our guests experience.

We had a great day with our guide Sumiko & Toshi our driver. We got to see all the sights we wanted to visit in Kamakura & had a wonderful traditional lunch. We were not rushed, even though it was a holiday with large crowds. We learned so much from Sumiko about Japanese history & the sites we visited. They went above board by picking us up with our luggage, dropping the luggage off at our hotel in Yokohama & than continued on with the tour to Kamakura & back to Yokohama to finish the tour. I highly recommend this company !
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thank you for your wonderful review even though you are busy with your cruise tour. I hope this was a good start for you. Your cup noodle making is a hilarious idea!

We had a wonderful tour with Matsashi and Tak. The Japanese garden was beautiful, making our own udon was fun and all the other stops were great as well. Tak did a great job driving us around and Matsashi was an awesome guide. He speaks English very well and was easy to understand. He shared history and other relevant information with us and was very flexible with the tour. Truly a good experience.

Our tour guide and tour were absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations. She worked with us prior to our tour to coordinate the best spots to visit which helped us maximize our day. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional and so interesting. We would highly recommend this excursion.
Nic_P, Jul 2023
Looked like an interesting trip but guide lacking a lot of knowledge. Felt as if he was not familiar with the area or information on the things we visited. He was filling time as well, when clearly we were not interested or wanted to move on. Would not recommend as a tour guide going forward.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you for sharing your feedback on your recent tour in Yokohama. We appreciate your candidness and apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced during the trip. We take every comment seriously as it helps us improve and ensure a more fulfilling experience for our valued customers.
We want to clarify that the guide you had is indeed knowledgeable about the area where he lives. However, we understand that the tour did not meet your expectations, and we want to sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused, by the limited time for preparation of our tour guide. He also had to adjust the itinerary due to restrictions on the reservation time of the facility. Additionally, the unforeseen changes in the lunch venue contributed to time constraints, leading to a rushed feeling during the tour.
We deeply regret any lack of explanation or moments where you felt that your interests were not fully met. Rest assured, we will address these concerns with our guide to ensure that future tours are better managed and more informative.
Your valuable feedback is a big help in improving our services, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more memorable experience in the future.
Best regards,

Despite stormy weather we visited the Odawara Castle, the great Buddha, the shrines of Kamakura and we enjoyed a delicious lunch in Enoshima. The trip was well worth the cost. Our guide, Elina, spoke great English and was very enthusiastic, talkative and knowledgeable about the culture. Thank goodness we hired a driver as well! With the wind and rain, I felt much safer having a professional take us everywhere in a private van. We greatly enjoyed the day and covered a lot of ground
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Thank you so much for your kind comment Catherine! I have to admit that this tour was a very special one for me as well. Fighting "the winds and tides" in Odawara Castle and Kamakura City with two stout-hearted knights like you and Max really felt like following in the footsteps of samurai warlords, physically and also mentally ^^.
I hope you and your family (including your valiant boss ;) will come back soon for new exciting adventures!!! In the meantime, I will update my anime culture with the personalized list I got from Max! Congratulations on your graduation Max! Arigatôoô to both of you !!

My team and I went on a great tour, led by Taiji. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Our day was filled with exploring temples and shrines in Kamakura, with a nice surprise making our original Cup Noodles at the Cup Noodles museum. We capped off the day with breathtaking views at the pier and dinner in Chinatown.
Thank you for a memorable experience. Look forward to seeing you again for a tour of Tokyo next! :)
Warm regards,
Jess

Thank you very much for choosing our service.
It was a great pleasure taking your team to one of our historical cities where the Shogunate system started about 800 years ago visit Hokokuji, Kotokuin, Hasedera temples, and Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine. We were lucky to be able to all sit at the counter and watch the chef's performance at the sushi restaurant.
Have you already tasted your own cup noodle?
I still haven't eaten mine, thinking to enjoy this weekend.
I'd be more than happy to guide you on your next visit and explore new things together.
Kind regards,
Taiji
