Shiga Private Car Tours

“The guides guide ”

Importantly, his English is first class having lived and worked in senior management roles in USA and UK for more than 20 years provided Norri with a brilliant insight into the differences between his own country and that of the west. Norrie has been fascinated with history all his own life and therefore has an incredible depth of knowledge into Japan’s evolution from its feudal past into the modern powerhouse it has become. Norri was very patient with us as ‘seniors’ and once he realized what our specific interests were, tailored the excursion around what he perceived to be most appropriate. Great company, intelligent and he has a great sense of humour.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate it! It was a real pleasure touring with you two. I enjoyed it a lot too. I was hoping to show some cherry blossoms by magically make them bloom earlier but could not.. I hope those pictures of plums you took turned out nice! Hopefully within a year or two I will visit the wonderful country of yours!! Take care!

“Kyoto and surroundings”

We did two tours with Nori. One by foot and the other by car. Both ere excellent. Nori is very knowledgeable and spoke very well english. I highly recommend Nori as a guide.

Thanks for taking my tours and leaving kind comments. I appreciate it. There was the train trouble in the morning but I am glad that after all you were able to have a fun day on the 2nd day too. Hope to see you again in the fall!

“Beautiful trip in the countryside near Kyoto”

I had an amazing two days with Nori as guide. First day was in Kyoto and it was nice to know the place and some of the shrines in it. The countryside trip on the second day was quite amazing for a guy like me who know a little bit about Japanese history. Nori is very well prepared guide so he can help you really get into the atmosphere and also get some deeper knowledge about Japanese culture.He is also easy to communicate with and a nice company.Thank for the nice trips , see you next time I'm in Japan!

Thanks for your comments. I am really glad that you were able to enjoy the last two days. It was also a nice surprise about you knowing so much about Japan and its history. Almost everywhere we went you knew something about the place. It makes me more motivated to communicate regarding those places. Like I said and you saw there are so many amazing hidden places in this area just outside Kyoto. I really hope you can come back and we explore some other places together. Have a safe rest of the trip! If you need any help from my side, please let me know anytime!
