Nikko Tour Reviews
Emanuel E.
“UNESCO World Heritage Site in Nikko”
The site is impressive and a living display of cultural heritage. Ryoko took us on an amazing personalized trip through the temple and shrine of Nikko and explained the rites and history in wonderful detail. She took great care in making the trip fun as well as educational, all while taking exceptional care of us on a personal level, too. We had a wonderful time and look forward to coming back and having her show us around some other sites in Japan.
Ryoko T.
Dear Emmanuel and Anne, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was truly a pleasure for me to show you the beautiful shrines and temples of Nikko. You both listened to my explanations with such genuine interest in Japan and Nikko, and asked me so many thoughtful questions. It was also a very enjoyable and refreshing learning experience for me. I will continue to deepen my knowledge of Japanese history and culture, including the fascinating history of Nikko. If you have a chance to visit Japan again, I would be very happy to see you and show you more of Japan. Thank you again for such a wonderful day and for your kind words. I hope we will meet again someday!

“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.
