Miyazaki Tour Reviews
Carole anne H.
“Wonderful day in Takachiho!”
We had a lovely day exploring Takachiho with Mike. He was very knowledgeable about details regarding culture, geology and history of the sites. He accommodated our reduced mobility needs. He went out of his way to help us research our bus connection to Kurokawa and dropped us off at our hotel in Takachiho. We highly recommend Mike as a guide!
Michael G.
I’m glad that you and Kyo enjoyed the tour of Takachiho Carole, even though it was a bit crowded (being a weekend). I was happy to help you find out about onward travel details and I’m glad that it turned out smoothly. It was a pleasure hosting you both.

“Amazing coastline with historical landmarks”
We had a wonderful morning tour with Mike. He was knowledgeable and gave us a good understanding of life in Japan. He accommodated our reduced mobility needs and did a great job of finding a restaurant with Chicken Nanban. We highly recommend this guide!
Michael G.
Thank you Carole. It was nice to meet fellow Canadians for a tour (two tours actually!). It was a pleasure having many interesting conversations with you and Kyo, especially with his knowledge of kanji and some minutiae of Japanese culture. I hope the rest of your Kyushu trip went as well.

“Wonderful day at Kirishima and Mochio Park ”
We had an incredible day exploring Kirishima with Michael although it was raining and scenery views were not at their best. His deep knowledge of the local history and culture really brought the place to life. He accomodated to our request to Mochio Park as our last stop and even took us to Sekinoo Falls along the way which we never would have found on our own. If you want a deep dive into the heart of Miyazaki, I cannot recommend Michael enough!
Michael G.
Thank you for the wonderful comment, Valerie. I only wish that the weather could have cooperated because on a clear day the sights are spectacular. However, despite the outside conditions, you kept your spirits up and I really appreciate that. Enjoy the rest of your trip in Kyushu.
