5.00. It’s our first time in Japan and our first stop was Yokohama. Yoshi our guide to Kamakura was 30 mins early and speaks great English. He is very knowledgeable, first we learned how to navigate the public transportation train system. Next we learned everything about the countries religions , traveled 2 Buddhist temples and 3 shrines. We walked several miles and learned about everything along the way. our guide to Kamakura was 30 mins early and speaks great English.

5.00Our 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.

5.00Andy 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

5.00Yusuke 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.
