“Tokyo in the cherry blossom”
I guide was great, she was at the hotel on time taking on a route that was adapted to us and the wheel chair, she took us to places where the walking was much simpler and could see the cherry blossom at its best. She also took us to a lovely restaurant where we could eat my wife's favourite tempura prawns. thank you
“Highly recommended”
Only positive things to say about this tour. Some of the most gorgeous things I've ever seen in my life. English was excellent, and all arrangements were smooth. Wouldn't hesitate to use again for Gunma tours.

“Nara with Tomoe”
Having lived in Nara 44 years ago, I was anxious to visit again with my wife and our 4 children along with each of their spouses. 10 people in a group can be a challenge, of course, but not for Tomoe. We took the Express Train from Kyoto to Nara early in the morning and returned late afternoon. In between we got the royal treatment in Nara, including all of the highlights. The udon lunch was amazing. It’s hard to beat a day in Kyoto followed by a day in Nara. Tomoe made us feel like we took a step back in time - many centuries. We added another stop to Fushimi Inari Shrine at the end of the day, exhausted but enlightened in the beauty of this country and its fascinating history. But the real highlight for us is we feel like we made a special new friend in Tomoe.
