Japan Tour Reviews

“Very insightful and interesting tour”
Mike was very accommodating with our group! We booked just two days before and he was available to adjust the itinerary to exactly what we wanted. Mike provided a local’s insight to the surrounding areas and landmarks that we’ve been missing on our other trips to Japan. We would not have been able to see these sights without his guidance, and we are truly grateful he was able to take us around. Thank you for the wonderful tour!

I’m glad that you and your family enjoyed the tour, Lindsey. I especially liked the conversation that accompanied the sightseeing, your parents were great to chat with. It’s also good that you got to see it all before the rainy season set in. Thanks again!

“My Attack On Titan Dreams Came True!”
Because many of the iconic Attack on Titan sites in Hita are a bit far from each other I was so grateful to find an English-speaking Tour Guide, Kei, who took care of every detail of this tour! From taking us around to Oyama Dam, that Tree on the Hill, TWO dedicated museums, Isayama sensei yakisoba and Levi gelato, and even the local sites to closely watching the weather and being so mindful of all of our needs, these were the most special and memorable days of my life!!! Kei was super friendly and knowledgeable, and even played the Attack on Titan soundtrack in the car. My greatest dream came true finally making my pilgrimage to the hometown of Isayama sensei, the creator of Attack on Titan!!

“Great Day in Kochi”
We had booked the Kochi Highlights Tour with Hiroshi during our Diamond Princess cruise stop in Kochi. We had a full day starting with Kochi Castle, lunch at Hirome Market, strolling through the Obiyamachi shopping arcade, visiting the Chikurinji Temple and finishing with the Makino Botanical Garden. We had a wonderful day exploring the highlights of Kochi and were well taken care of by a local expert. Hiroshi was knowledgeable, attentive and patient, he introduced us to local dishes and the Konatsu fruit and took care in ensuring that my partner was able to enjoy a vegan meal at Hirome Market. We also made short stops at a local grocery store to pick up Inaka-zushi - countryside sushi - and at a gift shop that sold locally produced products. On top of all this, Hiroshi took amazing photos of us and provided a photographic perspective that on our own we would not be able to capture. We had a great memorable day and look forward to booking another tour with Hiroshi that next time we are in Kochi!

Hiroshi M.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review! It was a great pleasure guiding you both during your cruise stop. I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed our day exploring Kochi. It was a lot of fun introducing you to some of my favorite local flavors, and I am especially glad we found good vegan options for your partner at Hirome Market. Thank you also for your kind words about the photography. I always love taking photos to help my guests remember the day. I look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure the next time you are in Kochi. Safe travels! Warm regards, Hiroshi
