“It was a pleasure to travel with Tomohiko as our guide!!”

This is our second visit to the port of Aomori. On our adventure with Tomo, we enjoyed visits to temple where one of our group was able to accompany the musicians by playing a koto. Tomo was a great guide and we visited the famous Big Buddha as well as enjoying a hot spring in a Zen Garden and we relaxed our feet in the warm water. We dined at a authentic Japanese restaurant and devoured the ramen. Our last venture was to the famous Warrase Museum were the Aomori Nebuta Festival floats are displayed. We would highly recommend Tomohiko for future tours. He will be guiding us again tomorrow in Hakodate, our last port of call.

Aomori Hidden Scenic Drive: Takayama Inari Shrine and Tsuru-no-Mai Bridge

“Splendid tour on a Beautiful Day”

we left Aomori with a guide, Hiro K, we have travelled with before and had a magnificent day. first stop was the Takayama Inari shrine which was so impressive with its torii gates, water features, main hall, fox statues, scenic landscape, and lack of people in such a serene setting. Hiro is very informative and enthusiastic and we enjoyed learning about this shrine. next stop was an apple orchard and vineyard and we learned about the growing processes, varieties grown, etc. was excellent to see how some aspects of agriculture work in Japan. amazing home cooked lunch. if you're gluten free he thinkss outside the box to ensure you stay healthy. then off to see Japan's longest wooden bridge - lagoon with various birds, storks being in attendance. enjoyed seeing the agricultural land around Aomori with such a knowledgeable guide. he helped us find two shops in Aomori at the very end of our tour - one with maps and one with lacquerware. I would highly recommend this guide and would certainly use his services if/when I return - probably next year. deb

Thank you very much for your warm and thoughtful review. It was a pleasure to spend another wonderful day with you. Exploring the peaceful grounds of Takayama Inari Shrine and walking across the wooden bridge were lovely experiences. I especially enjoyed our conversations in the car, it was such a pleasure to talk and laugh together about so many things. Another memorable moment was seeing Chris’s eyes widen as he said “Wow!” while looking through the book about Japanese flowers and plants. His enthusiasm made me smile. Seeing you enjoy these experiences brings me great joy. I look forward to seeing you again in Hokkaido next year! Enjoy the rest of your journey and travel safely.
