Kobe Tour Reviews
Georgia H.
“Tour of Kioto ”
Shuji was great! He met us at our cruise port and guided us from Kobe by Bullet train to Kioto. Once there we visited gardens, busy historical street and saw a Geisha show. Great historian and pleasant tour guide. Highly recommended. We were a group of 8 and kept us in line! Thank you Shutsi.

Shuji O.
Thank you for the kind words, even though you're so busy. Yes, we loved Kyoto. Even though there were a lot of you, you all worked well together. We enjoyed it until the very end. Enjoy the rest of your trip to Japan!

“A very considerate guide! ”
Natsuko was very kind and did her best to be very accommodating. She helped change some activities in our itinerary the day before the tour because of fatigue. So we had a relaxing time in the herb garden and the Kobe beef was amazing! I wish we had more time and energy to explore more of Kobe.

Natsuko I.
Thanks for the quick review! Thank you for your kindness. Your feet were sore from the long trip, so I’m glad we changed shopping to a relaxing time in the herb garden. The Kobe beef was really tasty — it melted in your mouth. Please come back to Kobe. Next time I’ll take you to Kobe Port Tower and Harborland.

“Kobe and Beyond”
We had the pleasure of having Rika as our tour guide in Kobe, Japan, and she was excellent. She took us to all the places we requested and went above and beyond to answer our many questions. Before our tour, she even researched how to navigate to an off-the-beaten-path outlet mall we wanted to visit, ensuring everything went smoothly. Throughout the day, she made sure we felt safe and comfortable while navigating the streets and trains. Thanks to her, we left with a deeper appreciation and understanding of Kobe—beyond just its famous Kobe beef. Rika’s professionalism, preparation, and warm personality made our experience truly memorable. Highly recommended!

Rika N.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I still vividly remember that day — all the walking we did, the laughter we shared, and the delicious food we enjoyed. I often tell my family and friends about it, as if it happened just yesterday. It made me so happy to hear you speak about the beautiful things you discovered in Japan. And of course, the highlight was our outlet shopping adventure! I still wear our matching earrings often — they take priority over many of my other accessories, hahaha. Shopping with girl friends is truly more fun, and I guess that’s something universal! I look forward to seeing you again in Japan someday. Warm regards, Rika
