“Great day in Nikko with knowledgeable and charming guide!”
We had an amazing day in Nikko, with a most charming, knowledgeable and competent guide. Nikko’s UNESCO World Heritage sites in the autumn are impressive, but Makiko made our tour most memorable not just with her knowledge about the sites and gardens visited, but also with her background on Japanese history and culture - Ikebana, sake, wines. Having traveled widely, we could share common experiences, and on top of being a good sport, hitting it off immediately with an ‘elderly’ Swiss couple, her English is excellent!

“A full day itinerary ”
Jack was detailed and provided us with lots of fun facts of the places we visit. Nothing was set in stone and the plan changes according to our speed, break time, and weather. Jack tried to take us to Kegon Falls twice since the first time we went it was too foggy to see anything, so we came back in the afternoon to try to catch it, but sadly it got even foggier! Definitely would recommend Jack's tour to anyone that wanted a guided tour of Oku Nikko and Nikko Toshogu.

I'm glad you liked my tour. Please come back to Nikko with your loved one. Kegon Waterfall will be appeared. Please book my tour again! Thank you.

Jack was very accommodating to our group with some more mobile than others. He shared local and historical knowledge that made all we saw much more meaningful. I contacted him after the tour as I left my hat in the lunch restaurant. He graciously and quickly mailed my hat back to me. I am very grateful! どうもありがとうございます

Debra, Thank you for your review. It's OK with me to send your cap without payment this time. If someone plans to travel to Nikko, why don't you ask them about my tour? Best, Jack
