“Walking tour of Gujo Hashiman in 3 hours”

I feel like Akiko became a friend helping us plan a short 3 hour walking tour of Gujo Hashiman. She listened to our interests and provided interesting history and knowledge of a town known for its pure water and Oban celebration. She met us at the bus station and made sure we visited all the highlights in a short amount of time. Akiko is so accomodating and listened to our needs. She is a delight and made this visit one of the highlights of our visit to Japan.

Thank you very much for your kind and warm feedback, Frances san. I truly appreciate that you dropped by Gujo Hachiman on your way to Nagoya. Although the tour was short, I hope you had an enjoyable time in Gujo Hachiman. I was very happy to hear that you liked the museum. How did you like the rice balls? You were such wonderful guests, and I really enjoyed spending time with you. I am looking forward to seeing you in Gifu again. Thank you very much once again.

“Tour of the Sekigahara battlefield and museum from Nagoya”

We had a truly wonderful day with Michiko on our recent holiday to Japan. From the point of pick up at our hotel in Nagoya to our return their that evening everything ran smoothly. Michiko was so knowledgeable about this period of history which was just what we wanted. She was such an enjoyable companion that day and we had so many laughs together. The battlefield and museum are well worth visiting. The museum has some fabulous displays of Samurai armour and artefacts and there is a really good cafe there too. The battlefield site is easily accessible - we hired electric bikes from the museum. Thank you Michiko for giving us such a great day!

Hi Claire and Andrew, Thank you so much for choosing me as your tour guide in Sekigahara Battle Field and also writing such the finest reviews for me, which encourages me very much. I’m glad that I could be your help during tour. I actually had a delightful time with such a wonderful couple like you and Andrew!! I really enjoyed talking with you and learned a lot from you two. Hopefully we could meet again in Japan or UK. Take care and good luck. Kind regards, Michiko Nagasaki

“Great Tour To and Through Gujohachiman”

The tour itself was a nice mix of relaxation, walking, and a small hike to Gujohachiman castle. The silk screen printing was also a very fun and simple experience. But of course all good tours are because the guide themselves are great people. Yuriko-san was a very fun and informative guide. She’s also incredibly kind and great at involving you in conversations with locals as a translator rather than just talking by herself. I also had a lot of fun learning about her life and family and sharing my stories as well. If you’re in or near Gifu prefecture, I highly recommend Yuriko-san as a guide!

Thank you so much for posting an excellent review and wonderful comments, Jeff-san! Your comments encourage me a lot. I also had a wonderful time to talk with you while getting on a local train or walking around Gujo-Hachiman nostalgic street. Especially, it was fun for me to hear you and a staff at silk screen shop joyful conversation. Thank you for coming to Gujo-Hachiman, Gifu. I would like you to come to Gujo-Hachiman in summer. Let's enjoy bon-dancing in yukata, or cotton summer kimono together!!
