Kagawa Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“Absolutely Incredible Experience on Shodoshima! Went Above and Beyond for Takagi-san Fans”

If you are visiting Shodoshima and looking for an unforgettable private tour, look no further. We had an amazing experience exploring the island, and our driver was the absolute highlight of our trip. We ordered the 6 hour tour which was enough for lunch and a tour od most of the island. We are huge fans of Teasing Master Takagi-san, and while we came with a list of locations we wanted to see, our driver blew past our expectations. We were not able to go to all (because one involves a very long hike up some stairs and we were aware of this) but he clearly knows the island inside and out because he went out of his way to show us many additional anime and live-action filming locations that weren’t even on our original itinerary which more than made up for it! He even made sure we hit the iconic Kiki’s Delivery Service live-action filming spot and helped us get the famous (free) broom rental for photos. He even took the time to help us search (he was so quick) for the legendary "heart-shaped" olive leaves, and then also helped us get them laminated at the gift shop. Regarding communication: Our driver did not speak English, and we only know a little Japanese, but it was never an issue. We used Google Translate throughout the day to chat (when needed). He was also incredibly helpful with local recommendations. He took us to a fantastic restaurant for lunch, and when we ran into a difficult situation at a different pizza place later, he stepped in to support us immediately and called his restaurant owner friend to take us in. His professionalism and kindness really made us feel taken care of and welcomed. We couldn't have been happier with the service. If you want a driver who is enthusiastic, knows their stuff, and truly treats you like family, book with this guide. Highly, highly recommend!

“Highly recommended”

It was a pleasure having her during our trip in Kagawa. She was flexible, professional, and very accommodating throughout the tour. She also proactively suggested great local restaurants and activities, and her English communication was excellent. Highly recommended for travelers visiting Kagawa areas such as Naoshima, Teshima, Takamatsu, and nearby areas.
