    Makiko is an excellent guide - very knowledgeable, very friendly, and speaks excellent English. Everything you want in a tour guide. She is careful to select the best locations (of many possibilities in Kamakura) to match your interests. Highly recommended.

    Makiko was an excellent guide. We met her at the Tokyo Sky Tree, and she kindly accommodated some spontaneous shopping time. As we explored the local sites, we greatly appreciated her knowledge and insights. The highlight of the day was a delightful lunch at an authentic Japanese restaurant. Overall, it was a truly enjoyable and memorable experience.

    We enjoyed our tour with Makiko. She is very personable and it was great to spend time with her. Malik and her driver do a great job of handling the logistics to make the best use of time.
