Gunma Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“Subaru factory tour”

Rieko was an excellent interpreter for the Japanese-only Subaru factory tour. Her warm and friendly nature made the technical details clear and concise throughout the tour. She even went above and beyond by dropping us off at the local station afterwards. The booking process was incredibly responsive and clear, including a friendly reminder just before the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend Rieko to anyone needing interpreter services.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour, and I’m glad I could be of help. According to the tour staff, about 90% of the cars manufactured at the Yajima Factory are shipped overseas. I hope you’ll think of this tour when you see a car with Subaru’s six-star emblem. It was a pleasure accompanying you on the tour.

Rieko did an excellent job translating the Japanese only tour for us. She arrived early and made sure we understood what we needed to do. We had a great time and highly recommend Rieko to anyone needing a translator.

Thank you so much for your kind review. It was truly a pleasure to be part of your journey. It was a great opportunity to accompany you on the factory tour of one of Japan’s great car manufacturers. This experience has surely broadened my knowledge and will help me provide better tours. Thank you again for having me as your guide.

“A fantastic tour with hidden gems”

I initially booked this tour because I’m a huge Initial D fan, but I ended up getting so much more out of it than I expected. Rieko was very knowledgeable about the specific sites we visited! One of the highlights was when we went to a restaurant that served the best soba I’ve had in Japan! However, the biggest surprise of the day was Haruna Shrine. It was an on-and-off rainy day, and somehow, that just made the place even more stunning. The misty atmosphere, combined with the natural beauty, created such a peaceful setting. If you’re considering a tour in the Gunma area, I can’t recommend Rieko enough. She’s the perfect guide for both Initial D fans and anyone interested in the cultural gems of the region. Whether you’re visiting for anime-related spots or just looking to explore, this tour is definitely worth it!

Thank you very much for your wonderful review. I’m delighted to hear that you enjoyed not only the Initial D spots but also Haruna Shrine and the soba restaurant. This summer was extremely hot in Japan, and I was worried about the weather. On the day of our tour, it turned out to be drizzly. It was not perfect, but the light rain created a mysterious and beautiful atmosphere, which I think made the experience special. I also enjoyed our conversations, and thank you for sharing stories about countries I have yet to discover. It was such a pleasure to be part of your journey.
