Kumano Tour Reviews

“ Amazing tour of Kumano and Nachi falls ”
This tour was absolutely amazing! Kumano pilgrimage trail and Nachi falls are absolutely stunning. Hiroyuki was an amazing guide who had a lot of knowledge about the area and history of the trail. Highly recommend this tour with Hiroyuki.
Hiroyuki T.
Thank you very much for your kind words. It was very nice meeting you two yesterday. Kumano is far but it is worth visiting, isn't it? You will definitely like Mt Koya, too. Please come back to Japan sometime soon to visit Mt Koya. Happy birthday to US!!!

“ A wonderful day in Kumano Kodo ”
My brother and I had a marvelous one day tour with our experienced and knowledgeable guide, Hiroyuki T. We visited three shrines, walked part of the pilgrimage trail, and ended at the Nachi waterfall and shrine. We were even given a private tour of the major shrines at Nachi, by a Shinto priest who was acquainted with Hiroyuki. It was a great day out, both educational and spiritual. We highly recommend this tour and particularly our guide, Hiroyuki.
Hiroyuki T.
Thank you very much for your kind message. It is already a week since we met in Kumano. I sometimes look back my tours, and Kumano always comes to my mind first. If I am asked where I like the most, I would say Kumano. Kumano is such a beautiful place. It is a joy of my job to travel. And it was very nice traveling Kumano with you last week. Thank you very much once again for choosing me as a guide.

“ Excellent guide. Well prepared tour. ”
He is so friendly and very knowledgeable about local history and japanese mythology. His itinerary was well preplanned. I would not have been able to explore all the places we did on my own. Thanks Hideo san!
Hideo Y.
Hello Pobparat I'm very happy to receive your message. Favored by good weather, we could enjoy visiting Kumano three Grand Shrines such as Kumano Nachi Taisha, Hongu Taisha, and Hayatama Taisha. Furthermore we watched Nachi Waterfalls with a height of 133 meters, the longest drop in Japan. I look forward to your activities and success in your life. Thank you, Tua.

“ Cultural enlightenment ”
Our group of 3 had a fascinating day with Hiroyuki walking the shrines,temples and waterfall of Nachi. The relationship of Buddhism and Shintoism became much clearer to us. He was an expert in explaining the history and significance of the Kudo Kumano Pilgrimage. Additionally he picked a great restaurant for lunch and was very helpful in getting us settled at our hotel. I highly recommend him
Hiroyuki T.
First of all, thank you very much for coming to Japan in this kind of situation. I sincerely hope that you had enjoyed not only Kumano but also other places in Japan. It was my pleasure to explain about Shintoism and Buddhism Unite Theory in Kumano. Even in Japan, many of us do not know whether we are Shintoists or Buddhists. And thank you very much for writing such a kind review in the middle of your tour. I appreciate it very much. Say hello to Chris-san and Thomas-san. Looking forward to seeing you again in the future. Hiroyuki
