“Wonderful guide, memorable moments”
I had an absolutely wonderful experience exploring the highlights of Kyoto with Kanae! Knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and genuinely passionate about Japanese culture and history. The tour was thoughtfully organized, engaging, and filled with fascinating insights and local details that made my experience truly special. Kanae made me feel welcome and ensured I had a memorable day. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Kyoto!

“Wonderful tour for our 8 person group. ”
Yioji did a great job of organizing our tour for eight people while we were in port. He took us to very interesting sites and was very good about describing what we were seeing. Everyone in our group complimented his ability as a guide and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day. We would all recommend him highly for anyone interested in touring this region.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure showing your group around, and I’m delighted to hear that everyone enjoyed the day. I truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation. Hope to see you all again in Japan!

“Day trip to Hakone”
We had a great visit in Hakone led by Tan F. She is very enthusiastic and is flexible in scheduling trips to ensure her guests get to experience the sights they most want to see. It is so much easier to leave the driving to someone local rather than having to navigate bus/walking routes, especially as Hakone is quite hilly and the narrow roads can get very busy. With a private tour, you and Tan F. can work out where you want to go and how long you do/do not want to stay, which my husband and I think is well worth the extra cost vs a larger group tour.

Dear Sharon, Thank you for your kind review! You and your husband were wonderful guests, and your thoughtful preparation really made the tour a success. We were so fortunate to have such great weather! As a quick note, Mount Fuji just got its first dusting of snow a few days ago, though visibility can still vary day to day. I wish you wonderful safe travels and great guides on all your future adventures!
