“Amazing how he fit it all in!”

“Excellent service ”
Our driver Mishima was on time, actually five minutes early at our meeting spot at Osaka cruise ship port. He was very flexible, driving us to The Monet Garden as well as adding Kochi Castle at the end of the day when we had extra time. Making the arrangements ahead of time was very easy and efficient too. We had a great experience w this taxi service.

“Very Flexible Guide”
Our group was hoping for a different itinerary, after having several days of visiting wonderful shrines and temples in several other ports. Hiroshi arranged for the group to experience the making of Washi paper, a very traditional Japanese tradition. While the paper was drying at the shop, the group did some local touring and eating, which everyone enjoyed. Hiroshi speaks excellent English and made our day fun and memorable.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write this wonderful review. One of the best things about having a private local guide is that the plan can change to match what guests want on the day. As someone born and raised in Kochi, I was happy to use my local knowledge and experience to make your day special. It is truly an honor to hear that everyone enjoyed it. I hope you will come back to Kochi again someday.
