Great tour with Masa: he was knowledgable, personable and professional. We would recommend this tour to others.

Show was our Tour Guide and did an excellent job. He took us to all the interesting sites and places in Kawagoe where we learned about the history and culture. He was very flexible when my wife wanted to do some shopping.
Taxi’s and buses were sparse, so be prepared to walk a bit.
Overall, an excellent experience.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you for taking the time to leave such wonderful comments. Although it was only a short 4-hour period, I was very pleased to guide you around Kawagoe. I apologize for the inconvenience caused by the museums being closed on Monday. Thank you for walking to each spot despite the heat. There are many other amazing places to explore outside of Tokyo as well, so I hope you continue to enjoy various destinations in Japan.

I will always remember how extraordinary my first trip to Japan was for me and my mom. Through the expert guidance of Isao, we saw the key points of interest and how to best get around. He helped ease our travel with a wheelchair and made arrangements to accommodate us.
Isao gave generously extra of his time.
We enjoyed the best of Tokyo which is all of Tokyo. If we are fortunate enough to make a return trip to Tokyo, we would choose him again as our guide.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thanks for taking the tour with me. I had also memorable time and really enjoyed time with you and mom. I really glad to see your tourists’ smile.
Kawagoe is my birth place so I wanted to show you more places .
We will wait your returning to Japan!

Very interesting Edo period town with old warehouses, old streets and watch tower. The temple was most enjoyable with the Buddha and statues of 500 disciples. Quite a way out of Tokyo but certainly worth the effort. Our tour guide, Yusuke, was very knowledgeable and made sure we had a great tour. Highly recommended.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you for your wonderful review about our Kawagoe tour. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the time in the historic town, especially Kitain Temple. We hope you could take beautiful photos there.
We look forward to your visit to Japan again in the future.
