“Nara with Tomoe”
Having lived in Nara 44 years ago, I was anxious to visit again with my wife and our 4 children along with each of their spouses. 10 people in a group can be a challenge, of course, but not for Tomoe. We took the Express Train from Kyoto to Nara early in the morning and returned late afternoon. In between we got the royal treatment in Nara, including all of the highlights. The udon lunch was amazing. It’s hard to beat a day in Kyoto followed by a day in Nara. Tomoe made us feel like we took a step back in time - many centuries. We added another stop to Fushimi Inari Shrine at the end of the day, exhausted but enlightened in the beauty of this country and its fascinating history. But the real highlight for us is we feel like we made a special new friend in Tomoe.

“Comfortable trip to Kobe”
Hiroshi is a very accommodating guide. We were over our 7 hours tour schedule but he stayed on without any complaints even though we wanted to release him when the 7th hour approaches. He’s more in making us enjoy our trip rather than being an ordinary guide. Appreciate your time spent with us Hiroshi san. Domo arigatou gozaimasu.
“A very delightful and comprehensive Tour of Nara”
We had a fantastic day with Tomoe-san, who is a very knowledgeable and cheerful guide. Planning the day with her beforehand was simple and she responded very fast to any messages. Tomoe-san's explanations were never tedious, she knew the answers to all the questions we asked, kept a comfortable pace and found a nice place for lunch. Despite the many sights we covered, and the many tourists around, we had a relaxed day as she found ways to beat the crowds and took time to relax in beautiful Isuien Garden. It was great meeting you, Tomoe-san and we truly enjoyed chatting with you about many topics! Domo arrigato gosaimashita!

(100 reviews)Dear Martin, Thank you very much for such a warmhearted review. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed a day in Nara. It was a really fun time for me, too, to talk with you, such a nice couple. I was impressed that you and your friends have studied and know a lot about Japanese culture. Thank you very much for giving me such a precious meeting. I would love to see you again. TOMOE
