“Echizen Tansu and Sashimono day - excellent.”
From my early communications with Yoshie I was impressed with her quick responses and attention to detail. She went over and beyond my expectations with information, helpful suggestions, and even train times and connections, to make sure our rendezvous with her went to plan. As a group of Australian woodworkers our focus was very specific - Echizen’s tansu/Sashimono artisans. Yoshies plan to visit two makers, a store/showroom, the small local museum, and finally a small manufacturer of metal tansu fittings was excellent. Her choice of a sushi restaurant for lunch, and the small local café for afternoon ice cream was perfect! I was so impressed with her planning for our Echizen day that I asked her to organise the following days site seeing in Kanazawa. Which was another excellent well-paced day. Very highly recommended.

Hi Martin, thank you so much for your kind and warm review. It stimulates me to continue making tours with a big passion for future guests. I was amazed to see you all were so energetic and visited craftsman's stores/workshops with big curiosities although it was an extremely hot day. Please take care! Yoshie

“Great time with Yoshie san”
She introduced my guests to the history of Eiheiji Temple and a lovely café, creating wonderful memories of Japan for them. They experienced the natural beauty of Fukui and said they would love to come back again. Thank you, Yoshie-san – she is a highly recommended guide!

“Had the best day of my entire trip with Megumi!”
Words cannot express what this day brought to me. It was incredibly moving, powerful, scenic, life injecting. The washi paper tour demonstrated all the craft you can imagine and the people I spoke and met with were unforgettable, it literally had me questioning my life and wanting to move to Echizen haha. Megumi was so knowledgable, friendly, and so lovely. We spent the entire day together and it felt like being with a friend the entire time. If you’re thinking about this tour, don’t think! Just do it!!!!

Thank you for joining the Echizen Washi Village tour! Your smile lit up the day and made everyone in Echizen enjoy sharing the experience even more. If you ever visit Fukui or Japan again, don’t hesitate to reach out. Wishing you all the best on your journey ahead—I’m rooting for you!
