“Nagasaki day tour”
Yoshi was very helpful in setting up the tour for us including telling us which trains to take from Hakata since Nagasaki was a day trip for us. She was very flexible in the scheduling of the sights and also, gave us recommendations of what to see. We went to the Atomic Bomb Museum, Oura Cathedral, Inasayama Observatory and the 26 Martyrs memorial. Yoshi was very informative on all of these sites and also, gave us more insight to other things we saw along the way. Noriko was also very helpful finding a lunch restaurant that could accomodate our son's food allergies. We were very happy with the tour and would highly recommend her.
“Re-connecting with Relatives in Wakayama”
We are Sansei (third generation Japanese American) from California and wanted to reconnect with Wakayama relatives that we lost touch with once our grandparents had passed away. Noriko was very helpful before our tour and helped coordinate a meeting with our relatives. She also was tremendously helpful translating for us while we met with our relatives as we cannot speak Japanese. Noriko was very understanding of what we wanted to do and was very flexible in arranging our tour so we could learn about Wakayama and also, spend time with our relatives. It was a wonderful reunion and we were so thankful to have Noriko as our guide.
“Fantastic experience hiring a driver to the Dewa Sanzan”
We originally communicated with Woo at TR Taxi who was very helpful and responsive, and who arranged the driver to take us to the Dewa Sanzan and Kamo Aquarium. Mr. Watabe, our actual driver, was excellent - a careful driver with a comfortable and clean car, who was punctual, conscientious, and friendly. He communicated very well with his phone translation app to make sure we were on the same page with where we were going and when. We couldn’t have had a better experience! We highly recommend them!
