Akita Tour Reviews

“Akita 1 day private tour”
Kenichi-san was an outstanding tour guide in Akita. He took us to the Our Lady of Akita, Lake Tazawa, Tsurunoyu Onsen (Nyuto Onsen area), and Kakunodate Samurai Town, and he made the whole day smooth, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. He is very helpful and attentive to detail—always checking timing, weather, walking conditions, and the small practical things that make a trip stress-free. He’s also knowledgeable, explaining the background and local stories in a clear, engaging way without ever rushing us. Throughout the day he was cheerful, friendly, and easy to talk to, which created a relaxed atmosphere from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone professional, warm, and reliable in Akita, I highly recommend Kenichi-san. He’s the kind of guide who truly elevates the experience, and I would gladly book him again and recommend him to others.

Dear Soeyantho-san, Many thanks for your utmost appreciation, very grateful! Thanks to your beautiful family members’ good behaviors, we were very much blessed with pretty fine weather, which was unusual and rare in this winter season of the year in this side of Japan along Japan Sea. My fun too was the exciting walking Our Lady of Akita garden covered with small snow, beautiful scenery along shining Lake Tazawa and challenging Onsen experiences in sunny open-air bath etc.! Our various conversation including your country's today was interesting and exciting. Thanks again and I look forward to seeing you not in distant future. Best regards, Kenichi

“eine schöne individuelle Tour nach Kakunodate”
man kann Kenichi nur empfehlen. Wir haben im Rahmen einer Kreuzfahrt in Akita angelegt und haben vorab eine Tour nach Kakunodate und zum Lake Tazawa mit Kenichi vereinbart. Er hat uns pünklich am Hafen abgeholt und uns dann zu den diversen Sehenswürdigkeiten geführt und uns viele Informationen und Tips gegeben. Das Mittagessen in einem traditionellen Restaurant in Kakunodate war ganz nach unserem Geschmack. Auch sind wir immer abseits der Touristenmassen an den jeweiligen Sehenswürdigkeiten angelangt. Es war ein rundum schöner Tagesausflug. Danke Kenichi für diesen schönen erlebnisreichen Tag

(translation) A beautiful, personalized tour to Kakunodate I highly recommend Kenichi. We docked in Akita as part of a cruise and pre-arranged a tour to Kakunodate and Lake Tazawa with Kenichi. He picked us up on time at the port and then guided us to the various sights, giving us plenty of information and tips. Lunch at a traditional restaurant in Kakunodate was just what we were looking for. We also always arrived at the sights away from the tourist crowds. It was an all-around wonderful day trip. Thank you Kenichi for this wonderful, eventful day. Dear Gabriele, Thank you very much for your warm message. Welcoming your gentle couple from presumably beautiful town surrounded by lush greens, I was so happy to share time with you, sometimes at popular spots and other times at quiet and peaceful venues, having joyful talks. Also, great pleasure and honor to have learnt that you return home with good memories of Akita and Japan. Good days and always welcome back to Japan! Best regards, Kenichi
