“Amazing day in Miyajima and Hiroshima!”

I had an incredible day with Kahori. The tour was personalized and thoughtful. All of the transitions from place to place were seamless. But most of all, I learned so much throughout the day. Hiroshima was very moving and I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to visit the Peace Park. I would definitely recommend a tour with Kahori. Wonderful memorable day!

Thank you for your warm comments. I will never forget how each and every one of you took the time to carefully and thoughtfully engage with the exhibits and materials in the museum and the park. It was a pleasure and an honor to guide such a wonderful family.

“ The Best Decision We Made for Our First Day in Japan”

My husband and I booked a personalised half-day tour with Shusaku M for our first day in Japan, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our trip. From the moment we met him, Shusaku M was friendly, warm, approachable and incredibly knowledgeable. He spoke excellent English, answered every question we had with patience, and created a relaxed environment where we felt comfortable asking absolutely anything. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Rather than taking us to tourist traps, Shusaku M listened to what we wanted and introduced us to the local side of Tokyo. He gave us a wonderful introduction to the Nakano area, showed us some fantastic little places to eat, and helped us gain confidence using the train system, particularly the JR lines. He also helped us set up our Suica cards and provided great recommendations for places to visit during the rest of our stay. Most importantly, he gave us the confidence to navigate Tokyo on our own. The very next day, we were able to use the train system independently with minimal stress and successfully make our way back to our hotel! We genuinely feel lucky to have found such a kind, personable and professional guide for our first day in Japan. Shusaku M made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel easy, enjoyable and exciting. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a local guide who is knowledgeable, patient, non-judgemental and genuinely invested in helping visitors have a great experience in Japan. Thank you, Shusaku M for helping us start our Japanese adventure on such a positive note. Sue & Geoff

Thank you so much, Sue & Geoff, for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure meeting you both and being part of your first day in Japan. I’m delighted to hear that the tour helped you feel more confident using the train system and exploring Tokyo on your own. Thank you for your kindness, enthusiasm, and for trusting me to introduce you to Tokyo. It means a lot to know that I could help make the beginning of your Japan trip enjoyable and stress-free. Enjoy the rest of your trip in Japan, and I hope to see you again on your next visit! ArigatoGozaimasu!!! Shusaku

“Okay tour for people looking for high structure”

Hiro provided solid factual information on the tour. We were surprised when we were asked by Hiro to pay for his transportation/train/bus fares. We had assumed that this cost was built into the tour rate and would not be extra on the day of the tour. We also like to have some flexibility built into a tour in order to look at little shops along the way or stop for a leisurely cold drink, in addition to tour attractions. If a more structured itinerary is your preference than this guide is a great match.
