Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was an honor to guide such insightful and well-traveled guests like you in Nara and Osaka. What impressed me most was how open-minded you both were in enjoying a variety of experiences, such as Nara’s persimmon-leaf sushi and indigo dyeing. Your many stories about Canada, including that of winter boat races on frozen rivers, are really fascinating. It’s made me want to visit Canada again. I hope you continue to have a wonderful time! I hope you win the lottery!

Issei is a great tour guide . He always maintain his patience and understanding every time we have some minor delay due to unexpected things required because we have a 3 years old boy my grandson that always having tantrums. Issei and his companion assistant Kyaren is very approachable person they know their job. Nice meeting you guys for this two days tour at Kyoto & Nara area,.

“Great experience made even better.”

Our vacation time happened to align with Omizutori (お水取り). We reached out to Shogo for guided tour options. He was very responsive and informative. We planned an itenetary for the afternoon that included the Nara Park Deers, the middle gate, the great hall, the great Budha and Omizutori (お水取り). During the day he provided excellent commentary and a great since of humor for our party of 3. He waited with us for the ceremony to commence and continued commentary and conversation. Having taken care of all the planning, navigating, and logistics of the day, we were able to relax and completely take in the once in a lifetime experience. Thanks to Shogo as he made a great experience so much more enjoyable. Thank you sir.

Dear lovely family, Thank you so much for the prompt and fancy review. I do appreciate it. It was very cold in the evening in Nara. Actually it was flurrying for a while. So I am happy that we could survive after standing up four hours in front of Nigatsudo Hall like a statue? One thing that I forgot to tell you on our way back to your hotel. …. We have an old saying in Japan, like “Fall seven times, stand up eight.“:) Thank you for everything. from Shogo
