“Fine tour of Himeji Castle and Gardens ”

Nishi was completely reliable and delightful. Five stars. She regularly takes people on this tour, and it shows in her expertise. Above that, she is attentive, generous with their time and charming. No hesitation in recommending her for your tour.

Thank you so much for your warm comment. I'm also glad you enjoyed the tour. The weather was perfect, so the Castle looked more beautiful. It was a good timing to see autumn colores leaves. I look forward to your next visit. Thank you again.

“Excellent Customized Tour of Tatsuno”

Noboru let us on a wonderful tour of Tatsuno. He customized it for us to see the most important sites for us (my last name is Tatsuno). He provided his own research on the legend behind the name of Tatsuno and what distinguished it from another Tatsuno town in Nagano. We toured Kamo Jinja shrine, Tatsuno Castle and other points of interest. When we returned to Himeji, there was still time to visit a Himeji Sake brewery. All in all a great tour with much detailed insights and information from Noboru. He was also personable and easy to converse with. We would definitely use Noboru again should we visit the Himeji area.

Thank you very much for your warmhearted review. I am so happy to know you enjoyed Tatsuno and Himeji Sake brewery! I really enjoyed your company and hope to see you again next time you come back to Japan!

“Wonderful Guide for Himeji Area”

Noboru was a wonderful guide for the Himeji Castle and Koko-en Garden tour. He provided us with excellent information and provided translation of information that was only in Japanese. He made the tour of the castle especially interesting as we pretended to be attackers of the castle which allow us to experience the detailed planning that was involved in the design of the castle and grounds. Noboru was also very entertaining and had great command of the English language. He added so much to our enjoyment of the castle and gardens. We would use he again should we visit Himeji in the future. He also gave us great recommendations for restaurants and other places we should visit while in Himeji.
