Nikko Private Tours

“Nikko in a day”

Ryoko was again a fun-tastic guide! Truly enjoyed her informative guide about temples and shrines and the history of Nikko. She had a lot of energy and very attentive to our needs.

Thank you very much for your wonderful review of our second day together in Nikko on June 25th. Although it was a light rainy day, I was truly delighted that you described the weather as “liquid sunshine.” I’m very happy that you were able to enjoy the misty mountains and trees in such a beautiful and positive way. I also greatly appreciate your deep interest in Japanese history and culture, and your attentive engagement with my explanations. Receiving such warm words from you, who has traveled widely and experienced many guides around the world, is a great encouragement for me. I sincerely look forward to the day we may meet again. Thank you once again from the bottom of my heart.

“Nikko tour was so stunning and beautiful. ”

We recently had the pleasure of taking a tour in Japan, guided by Yoshi. Overall, it was a well-organized experience, and I truly appreciate Yoshi's efforts in making our trip enjoyable. From the beginning, Yoshi was incredibly responsive and organized. He communicated with me promptly via email, reminding us of our upcoming activities several times. He also took care of our train reservations and ensured we arrived on time at each station, which made traveling around Japan much smoother. A standout moment was when he went the extra mile to help my husband find his misplaced wallet at Team Labs, providing him with directions and support. This level of care truly made a difference. However, I did face a couple of challenges during the tour. Yoshi walked at a fast pace, which made it difficult for me to keep up at times. Due to a medical condition, I struggled to maintain that speed, and I would have appreciated it if he had looked back occasionally to check on our group. I didn't feel comfortable sharing my condition with him, but I believe a slightly slower pace would benefit travelers who may need it. Additionally, while we tried to engage in conversation, Yoshi's responses felt somewhat reserved. He seemed a bit closed off, which made it challenging to connect on a more personal level compared to other tours we experienced during our trip. In conclusion, while Yoshi was efficient and organized, I believe that adding a more open and adaptable approach to pacing and conversation could enhance the experience for future travelers. Thank you, Yoshi, for your dedication and support throughout our adventure!

Hi Jenn, thank you for your candid feedback. Your young boys were walking energetically ahead of us, so I may have walked briskly to keep up with them. Also, while I intended to be open in my manner, if I came across as closed-off, I would like to improve on that in the future. Tahnk you Yoshi.

Thank you, Patrick. I enjoyed walking with your family. Recently, I have also used my car to take my guests to Inner Nikko, but I had to walk the entire tour from the station. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Jack
