“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

“A grand adventure, customized to my needs!”
Had an amazing time exploring the marvels of Akita with Kenichi-san. Not only was there nary a dull moment, the experiences I had, trekking at the top of Mount Moriyoshi even in the midst of heavy snow to see the Juhyo, the absolute magical sights en route to Lake Towada, and finally, a scenic stroll through Kakunodate... and all throughout, absolutely safe and masterful driving, coupled with a most remarkable level of conscientiousness and preparedness. It was an incredible experience!

Dear Melvin-san, Very glad to learn you really enjoyed our tour to snowy (and cold) world in Akita of this January. It was an exciting experience to do snowshoe trekking in blizzard to me as well! Besides those visited, we have various charming spots in Akita, nearby prefectures, or Tokyo metropolitan area, and I would love to have another opportunity to enjoy tour with you or your friends. Good days and best regards, Kenichi
