Visit to Bonsai Village in Saitama
As I am living in a walk distance from Bonsai Village, I can guide you very effectively. Bonsai Village is located In Saitama City. It takes about one hour from the center of Tokyo by rail. At present day, there are five nurseries of Bonsai and The Omiya Bonsai Art Museum. Each of the nurseries has their own characteristics you may enjoy. Some have lady-favorite Bonsai, and some has large size Bonsai. You may buy vessels and tools specialized in Bonsai nursing. You could even buy Bonsai itself( you need some complicated procedures to export them). Bonsai village is within only 15 minute by foot. You can enjoy walking in quiet town(village) by only one hour trip from the downtown of Tokyo. The museum has about 150 Bonsai. Some of them are 1000-2000 years old and you can also observe the staff caring them at a short distance. The museum also has three typical TOKONOMA (caves) with best suited Bonsai. There are English brochures which is very simple and volunteer guides with little foreign language efficiency.

“An absolute highlight of our Japan Journey”
We spent an absolutely fantastic day with Yoshi who has brought us a lot closer to Japan and his culture, he has also talked to the people who live and work in Kawagoe and give us the feeling of being involved. If we were to travel to Japan again we would definitely book a tour with yoshi again he was one of our highlights in Japan

(6 reviews)I really appreciate your splended comment, with which I’m far more than happy. I think we were lucky to visit Kawagoe and Kinchakuda Park area in the atomosphere of local people enjoying or preparing for local autumn festivals. Please come again to Japan in May and/or October when you can deeply enjoy exciting local festivals here and there. See you soon!
“Excellent Trip”
Miki has fluent English and Chinese. As I need a guide which can help to explain the instructions in Japanese, Miki did a great job. Before the tour, she did information collection. Although there isn’t a common spot with specific information/terms, she still can help me to understand the tour. Thanks so much.

(3 reviews)Thank you for your warm feedback. Even I live in the same prefecture, I had never heard of this facility, so it was a very meaningful tour for me too. It was really fun to hear your previous trip . I'm glad to hear I was able to help you. Thank you very much.
“Farm tour Saitama in June”
Miki san was flexible and conscientious in planning for our farm tour which required her to serve as an interpreter. She speaks English fluently and was enthusiastic with our plan. She was on time, did additional education in advance, and even came prepared with pertinent materials. We enjoyed getting to know Miki san further during lunch with her.

(3 reviews)I understand Mimi-san really wanted to learn about fruits, so I wanted to share the information as much as possible. It was a hot day, so I was worried about everyone's health, but I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the tour. Your family were all very kind, and I was really happy to be your guide. Thank you very much!
