Kumamoto Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“An amazing adventure in Kumamoto”

Steve was, by far, the best guide I could ever have. We did the tour for about 8,5 hours (which seemed a lot, but felt like nothing). We started going straight to Jinbe's statue. Since it was early in the morning, the store where I could buy the mini figure wasn't open yet. But Steve was one step ahead and already had one statue for me in the trunk of the car. During the drive from statue to statue, Steve talked about the curiosities of Kumamoto, and gave us some info about the tragic earthquakes from 2016. The second statue was Brook, another one with the store unavailable (the store doesn't open on some days of the week). Steve, once again, had a statue to sell me. Later, we went to Sanji's, then Nami's. Both stops were terrific, but Nami's was absolutely amazing. Later, we went to Franky's, and then we made our way to Robin's statue. This one is the most impressive of them all. It is the one where you really understand the meaning of having those statues around Kumamoto. For the final part of the journey, we went to Usopp's, Zoro's, Chopper's, and Luffy's statues. Getting to the captain as the final stop felt both amazing and sad at the same time. We were amazed by the journey and having our captain say farewell, but we were also unhappy because it meant it was the end. Steve made this journey pleasant. Besides driving the whole time, he also took some fantastic pictures of us at the stops. He helped get the statues (talking in Japanese with the people around) and managed to drop us in the best spot possible at each statue. If you're still wondering if you should do this tour with Steve, hear me out: The guy is the best. Just go for it and enjoy this fantastic day.

“A great tour of Kumamoto's scenic highlights”

We had a wonderful day with Steve at Mount Aso and the surrounding area. He drove us punctually and reliably from one scenic highlight to the next, telling us interesting things about life in Kumamoto along the way. Thank you very much and all the best! Eva and Klaus

“Great time with the One Piece tour!”

We had a great time with Steve! We learned a lot about Japan, and also going to the statues was a really great experience! This tour helped us save time and stress on organizing the transportation.
