Japan Tour Reviews

“Nature Abounds in Nikko”
We would not have been able to see half of what Nikko offered without Keiichiro! Nature abounds all around you with waterfalls too numerous to count, mountains, and lakes. Keiichiro showed us the beauty of the land as well as the colorful and ornately-carved Toshogu shrine to the simple statues at Kanmangafuchi Abyss. He went the extra mile recommending restaurants in Tokyo and helping us navigate the train system, even speaking to the station staff on our behalf. He was patient and flexible when our arrival was delayed. We were lucky to have him as our guide!
Keiichiro I.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It truly means a lot to me. I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed discovering both the natural beauty of Nikko and its rich history. It was a pleasure showing you places like Toshogu Shrine, Kanmangafuchi Abyss, the waterfalls, mountains, and lakes. I'm also glad I could help with your train journey and restaurant recommendations. Even though your arrival was delayed, I was happy we could still make the most of your day together. Thank you again for choosing me as your guide. It was a pleasure meeting you, and I hope you have many more wonderful memories from your trip to Japan. I would be delighted to welcome you back anytime. Wishing you all the best! Keiichiro

“Family Trip to Hokkaido Sapporo attractions with Kumiko”
What can I say about this tour guide other than YOU MUST utilize her as your guide. Our second tour day was 1/2 a day to see some sights in Sapporo that were more difficult to get to using subways, buses, and walking. Kumiko planned a perfect route and allowed us time at each location to explore. We asked for a great lunch stop, and she provided a local restaurant for fantastic Soba. It was delicious! The information she provided at each stop was interesting and provided us with an understanding and appreciation for what we were seeing. Kumiko is friendly and fun, and her love of her job shines through every moment you spend with her. We are grateful to have had her for 2 separate tours! If you are looking for the perfect guide, look no further. Working with her was a great experience

Kumiko N.
Thank you so much again for the nice review for our second tour in Sapporo. I felt so happy seeing you all in relaxing atmosphere to explore the each destinations like local people.The thing I was impressed from you the most is that you were always trying to see and understand the story or the scenery behind what you were in front of . Like just watching the flower , the father was mentioning about the relaxing lives of local people, and Just being the Soba restaurant , you see the close relationship of the local community and kindness of the working people there. Those are the exactly the things I would like you to know about my favorite hometown. And I felt really happy and deeply appreciate that you showed such a beautiful attitude with generous respect and nice smiles. Thank you again for letting me be the one of your family members throughout the tours , by which , I think I could offer more comfortable time and space on the day . And also I could see a beautiful sunset of your Maui island behind your charming smiles and thoughtful attitude for both my place and locals . Hope we can meet again someday With lots of thanks Kumiko
