“Nikko Tour”
As with the first tour to Tokyo, Naoya did an amazing and outstanding job showing us the sites. He explains everything and is very helpful. We really enjoyed our time spent with him. Both tours, Tokyo and Nikko were best having a personal guide. You get more this way.

“Masterful Direction”
Yoko did a great job of figuring out exactly what we wanted to see in Nikko when we weren’t even sure ourselves! She let us know exactly what to do at every turn in advance so we were never at a loss. We are so grateful for her help. We also loved that she gave us recommendations on what else to see in Tokyo and they were spot on.
Yoko T.
Wow!! Thank you so much for such an amazing review. I love that picture that reminds me how wonderful friends you all are. I really enjoyed that day at Nikko even it was a bit cold. I hope you found the Kegon Falls' observatory worth visiting. I was glad you also liked the Age Yuba Manju (Fried Yuba Dumplings) and Senbei the rice crackers. I'm also quite flattered the recommendation of the Ukiyoe Digital Exhibition matched your taste. I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip in Hakone, Kanazawa, Kyoto and Hiroshima. Please say hello to your husband, Sheila and Leroy qnd tell them I'm grateful for having a great time together with all of you. It was really nice meeting all of you. I will look forward to seeing your pictures on your homepage, Marcia san. Thank you again, Yoko
