“A Perfectly Customised Tour of Kumamoto!”
Our customised tour of Kumamoto was truly unforgettable—an easy 5-star experience from start to finish. Every element of the trip was thoughtfully curated to match our interests, blending iconic landmarks with off-the-beaten-path gems that matched a family of 4. A highlight was visiting the Reigando Cave, stepping into history at the Shimada Museum and visiting the final resting place of Japan’s greatest Samurai—an unexpected and fascinating stop that blended art and history. We also enjoyed a breathtaking lookout over the valley at Daikambo, where we paused to take in the panoramic beauty of Kumamoto’s rolling landscape—an experience that felt both peaceful and profound. Round it out with a visit to the, one day to be, King of the Pirates Luffy statue Our guide Steve was outstanding—warm, knowledgeable, and flexible, ensuring we felt both cared for and free to explore at our own pace. This tour felt personal, immersive, and full of surprises. If you want a truly special way to experience Kumamoto, this is the way to do it!

Thank you all for being such great guests! Your father gave me enough content to write at least 5 chapters of a book!. Maybe I can name the book ( Dundee in the land of the Rising Sun ) haha. I hope you get to enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan, I really hope our paths cross again whether here or Downunder!!

“Unforgettable trip to Mt. Aso and Takachiho Gorge with the best guide ”
Steve is a great tour guide who has lived in Kumamoto for a long time. He was very accommodating, helped us customize our tour, and is a fun character with lots of stories about his life in Japan and the local culture. His car was very comfortable, and he drove safely. I would gladly book his fantastic service again anytime.

Thank you, Mario! We had an awesome day. Who knows, maybe next time I’m in China, I can book you as my tour guide! As I write this, you’re probably on the bullet train to Nagasaki. I hope you both have a wonderful time there. I really enjoyed our conversations during the tour!

“A Legendary Tour with an Absolute Legend ”
After being unable to find a tour guide that had space for my Fiance and I for our one day in Kumamoto I had given up. But then like a sign from god I found him. Steve. I reached out to him late at night expecting that I wouldn't have any luck untill. That fatefull response. Steve picked us up from our hotel the following morning and took us on the perfect tour not just to see the One Piece statues but also showed us a side of Kumamoto only a local would know. He was incredible and a great chat. He had a lot of insight on the Prefecture as a whole and gave us a number of recommendations on what to see and do. I have been on a number of tours and Steve is by far the best tour guide and one of the nicest people I have had the pleasure to meet. Thank you for the wonderful day from Billy and Alyce

Hi Billy and Alyce! What a fantastic day we had, you were such great conversationalists! I really appreciate your kind words. It’s not often I get to take fellow Aussies on a tour, and it was truly an awesome experience. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Japan, and if you’re ever back in my neck of the woods, don’t hesitate to reach out, I’ll be here for you!
