“A day looking at UNESCO heritage sites and good food”
My parents and I went with Ryoko around key cultural sites in Nikko with Ryoko using our rented car. Ryoko answered our questions and helped us to understand what we were seeing well. The food she recommended we eat along the way was good, and she even gave us some very thoughtful gifts at the end. (The sake brewery she added on was also a treat.) She was easy to talk to, and we're glad we got to spend the first day in Nikko getting more tips from her on how else to spend our remaining time well.
Ryoko T.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. You and your parents have a deep appreciation for Japanese history and culture. I truly enjoyed answering your thoughtful questions, and I was especially happy to feel your genuine respect for Japan. Your kind words have encouraged me to continue learning and to guide my guests with all my heart. I sincerely hope we can meet again someday. Thank you again—it was a pleasure spending the day with your family.

“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.
Ryoko T.
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.
