Aomori Private Tours

“Wonderful Local Guide”

Hiro was a wonderful guide. He is a local who knows his way around the area and speaks both Japanese and English. We did not select one of Hiro’s pre-packaged tours; rather, due to our time constraints and interests, Hiro provided a custom itinerary based on our schedule and places of interest. We mainly needed someone to serve as an intermediary for the places we wanted to see since we were unfamiliar with the area, do not speak Japanese, and had limited time. Hiro arrived on time and kept us informed of his location and arrival time. At each destination, Hiro was flexible in allowing us to take our time to explore but made sure we arrived at our next destination on time. When our selected lunch location was too busy, he recommended a local shop that served delicious ramen. Overall, Hiro was positive and friendly, knowledgeable about the areas we visited, thoughtful toward our interests and needs, easy to communicate with, and provided an affordable rate.

Thank you so much, Kyle san, for your wonderful review. Spending time with your family made me think, “This is what a truly happy family looks like.” I was especially impressed by everyone’s intellectual curiosity. At the Sannai-Maruyama Site, I was delighted to show you places that I do not usually include in my tours, and your family explored everything with genuine interest and enthusiasm. I was also amazed to see your grandfather, who is over 80 years old, jumping energetically as a Haneto dancer at the Nebuta Museum! Having such a healthy body and joyful spirit at his age is truly inspiring. Ending our time together with ramen and delicious coffee was also wonderful. I hope you were able to find and buy the watch you were looking for. I also hope that the two of you who went to see the Nebuta festival that evening had a wonderful and unforgettable experience. I had a wonderful time guiding your family. I hope your family’s future cruise adventures continue to bring you many joyful and unforgettable memories. When my partner and I visit the United States, I would love to get in touch with you! Hiro

“Cruise ship stop in Aomori”

We had an EXCEPTIONAL day with Tomo in Aomori. He met us at the cruise ship port and organized our day for us. The visit to the nearby temple had us involved in the harp music and tea ceremony before seeing the largest sitting Buddha. From there we enjoyed the Nebuta museum with the colorful displays of the festival floats and a demonstration of the music and dancing. A stop a a friends nearby Apple Store had us tasting fresh Fuji apple juice and apples. The fish market had us mesmerized before the local Nomkedon lunch. The Aomori museum of History was our final stop. This gentleman had in-depth knowledge that he shared on the culture and history of Aomori. Thank you Tomo!!!

Sincerely, yours Tomohiko Kudo from Aomori city, Japan.

“Wonderful Guide!”

My grandmother was born and raised in Aomori, and I finally had the opportunity to come to Japan to see where she grew up. Based on the information I was able to provide about my family, Tomohiko gave us a tour that highlighted areas that were important to her and the rest of my family. We had an amazing day and were able to see what life is really like in this amazing city. We truly appreciate Tomohiko's knowledge and passion for his home city. It was a very special and memorable experience!
