“wonderful day in Kōchi ”
Hiroshi's English is very good; he is friendly, helpful and very courteous. We had a wonderful day with him in Kōchi and felt very much at ease. He was very flexible in response to the weather and tailored the tour to our preferences. He also took lots of lovely photos of us – we’ve actually never had that service before. We can highly recommend Hiroshi as a guide.

Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm really happy to hear you had a wonderful day despite the rain! It was a pleasure spending the day with you both. I'm glad we could make the most of the weather and visit some hidden spots along the way. Taking photos is something I genuinely enjoy, so I'm glad they were useful! I hope the rest of your trip will be fantastic. You're welcome back in Kochi anytime! Hiroshi
