“Knowledgeable, pleasant and absolutely amazing!”
Yoshiko was our tour guide for Niigata. We had a very loose plan of what we would like to see and do, and left the planning to Yoshiko (this was not an easy task for her since we didn't have anything specific we wanted to do). The moment regulations lifted and she was able to use her own personal car to ferry us, she gave us that option so we could do more things in the time planned with her. Yoshiko is fluent in English, so conversations were fluid and really easy going. My mind was put at ease because I did not need to worry about whether I was saying something that could be misinterpreted. Yoshiko also had very good knowledge about the local and surrounding area, the history, the best places to get a good bird's eye view of the city, the hidden sushi places, and good food recommendations in Niigata city. We especially enjoyed our trip to the sake brewery; we joined a Japanese speaking tour (as they only had limited English speaking guided tour) and Yoshiko helped translate in real time, allowing us to feel included in the sake tour. She also introduced us to the Ponshukon which we visited again after. Our trip to Niigata was definitely made more memorable because we had Yoshiko as our guide. For anyone who is thinking of having a personalised tour in Niigata, please do - you will get to places faster, and see more things in the time you have there because Niigata is quite flat and widespread. Having a guide makes the trip so much more stress-free. Thank you Yoshiko for your excellent service! We hope to return to Niigata soon and touch base again.
Yoshiko K.
Thank you Jasmyin for your review. It was very convenient for me to drive my own car and show you around. I am so happy to hear you enjoyed your time in Niigata. Yes, I remember you liked sake or Japanese rice wine brewery and sampling a lot at Ponshukan. You also enjoyed making button badge making at Manga House and tasting sasadango, one of Niigata's specialties in a sasadango making cafe. This time, you experienced central Niigata city but as Niigata is fifth largest prefecture in Japan, I would love to show you more unique places next time. Thank you again for your cooperation sitting in my small car. It was so nice to have you two in Niigata! See you again!

“The SUPER One Piece - All 10 Statues”
Our group did the 10 statues tour in one day, but it was beyond just the One Piece statues. Mai-san was punctual to pick us up at our hotel, and despite the full schedule didn't rush us at any of the locations whenever we wanted to spend a little more time taking photos or just appreciating the landscape. The car driving, when going to each statue, was also very comfortable. In each region, Mai-san taugh us about its tradition, culture and livestyle. It was an outstanding tour, and Mai-san was amazing in providing the most excellent tour throughout the Kumamoto region.
