Hyogo prefecture is about 150km long in north-south direction. There are many sight seeing spots, not only Kobe, Himeji but also Izush-Toyooka, Tanba-Sasayama Awaji island. So Hyogo government decleared "Hyogo Golden Route" as recommended tours. I would like to guide those areas where tourists do not know well. Each area is one day tour. You can have a different experience from Kyoto or Osaka.

5 Stars - Exceptional Experience with Nishi in Himeji!

We had an absolutely unforgettable 2-day guided tour with Ms. Nishi N in Himeji. Our group of six, including my 85-year-old mother, was treated to a thoughtfully planned itinerary that covered Himeji Castle, its beautiful gardens, a sake brewery tasting, and some fantastic local lunch spots. Nishi’s incredible knowledge of the history and culture of Himeji brought every location to life, making the entire experience both educational and engaging. She was exceptionally kind and attentive, especially to my mother, ensuring that everything was stress-free and enjoyable for everyone. Nishi knew all the best photo spots, capturing memories we will cherish forever. Her expertise, coupled with her warm personality, made our time with her truly special. Beyond Himeji, she generously shared great recommendations for our next stop in Kyoto, even though we didn’t have a guide there. Thanks to her advice, we made the most of our visit. We can’t wait to return and will definitely be requesting Nishi’s services again when we explore more of the Hyogo, Kobe, and Himeji areas. Highly recommend!

Sharon N.

Thank you so much for such a pleasant comliment. The two tour day went well totally because you had asked me your requests in details and you've been flexible during the tours. I was very glad you enjoyed every moment at the sake brewery, the lunch restaurant, the art museum and the photo spots. Also it was great to hear you had a good time after my guiding. Your tour will an forgettable memory for me, too. Thank you, again.

I appreciate your warm review. Thanks to your information, detailed requests, and flexibility, the tour went well, especially your mother could reach the castle top floor!! It was a good idea to avoid a tight schedule. Even though it was busy and crowded in Himeji on those days, the tours processed just as planned. You are wonderful travellers. You stories and questions were very interesting and informative, too. I really look forward to your visit of Japan; Himeji and the neighboting areas!
