The Best Guide!

You won’t find a better tour guide—Jorge is a tourist’s dream. With his unique and inspiring background, he offers a rare dual perspective: the critical eye of an outsider, and the lived experience, respect, and connections of an insider. Add to that his broad scholarly knowledge and deep curiosity, and you’ve got a guide who can speak insightfully on everything from history to daily life to shopping. From the start, Jorge listened closely to what we wanted and tailored the day to match. He checked in with us throughout, making sure the pace, content, and focus were right. Whatever you're looking for, he can make it happen. Our only regret is that we didn’t hire him to guide (or plan) our entire Kanazawa visit—or our whole trip to Japan. Jorge lived in Shirakawa for three years (so if you’re headed there, don’t even consider anyone else), but he told us his best tour is of Kanazawa. We believe it. We only had one day with him, but he filled it with insight, conversation, flexibility, and generosity. He gave us extra time at both ends, never rushed us, and shared knowledge that went far beyond the typical tour script. He truly went above and beyond in every way! Make the most of your time in Japan: hire Jorge. You won’t regret it.

Dear Sage-san, It was a real pleasure bringing you to Shirakawa-go and I am very grateful for your kind words and for choosing my tour! It is of the utmost importance for me to provide all my guests with experiences that suit their needs and wants. That being said, your words warm my heart, especially my knowledge and curiosity that matched your own knowledge and great curiosity! I am a walking nerd and I deeply enjoyed sharing my experiences living in Shirakawa-go and I hope that I will be able to guide you through Kanazawa in the near future and share with you my deep love for this city and its inhabitants!

Excellent guide

Hi Thomas, thank you very much for your generous review. I am so pleased to hear that you had a good time visiting Shirakawago and Ainokura of Gokayama. You all liked Ainokura, a cute village. There are many other beautiful places in the Hokuriku region. I hope you come to visit again. Thank you. Yoshie

Fantastic Guide - Great Day!

Jogi communicated extremely well in setting up this tour and then communicating how to meet up with us in the port. The day was perfect for the four of us. Great tour of Shirkagowago and Takayama. Showed us unique places and even helped pick out some unique food items to try. Great conversation in the car and tour about a variety of subjects. He spoke excellent English. I highly recommend Yogi as a tour guide.

Thank you very much for such a great review and comment. I had a wonderful time with you all yesterday. The conversation in the car was the most fun part to me. I personally had great time with you yesterday. Cherry blossoms in Shirakawago was perfect! Again, thank you for giving me such a great opportunity. Have a wonderful time in the rest of your journey.
