Fukui Private Car Tours

“Obama Highlights Tour”

A perfect day with Megumi san guiding me to many amazing locations in and around Obama. I had been planning to visit Fukui for a while and having seen a couple of youtube videos about the Obama area, when I then saw Megumi san’s tour I knew that it was exactly the tour I wanted to do ! We quickly agreed on a schedule, and I booked asap to reserve my place ! Great communication from Megumi san from beginning to end ! Everything on the day went according to plan, from initial collection at the train station, to visiting everywhere on our itinerary. I have to say though that the sites we visited in the countryside were even more amazing than I’d anticipated - they were all set in amazingly beautiful locations and really have to be seen in person ! On top of our planned itinerary, Megumi san was also able to include some extra stops on the tour based on my specific interests. I’d like to thank Megumi san for going the extra mile and arranging these extra visits which I really really appreciated. Throughout the day, I benefitted enormously by having Megumi san as my guide. She has an incredible amount of local knowledge, as well as detailed knowledge on the temples and shrines in the area. Amongst other things, she was able to tell me about festivals and ceremonies (some going back over a thousand years), guided me into areas of temples that I would otherwise have assumed were prohibited (but which are allowed in the temples we visited), and recommended a great place for lunch ! The tour definitely made me want to revisit Obama in the future. So much so, that next time I’d love to stay in Obama for a few days to see even more of what the city has to offer. In summary, this tour was a fantastic introduction to the city of Obama, and Megumi san was an amazing guide. Megumi san, thank you for making it such a wonderful day, and I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone !
