“Perfect way to see Takayama!!”
George was such a delight. I usually do not book tours like this but I got so much more out of the Takayama experience because of this lifelong resident sharing his culture and some of his favorite sights/foods/stories. Do yourself a favor and book with him!!

“Discovering Takayama with a True Local ”
Our trip to Takayama was truly memorable, largely thanks to George. Our party of 10 did a half-day tour around Takayama, where he showed us local shops and hidden spots and shared a lot about the culture and history of Takayama. We enjoyed it a lot. George was also amazing with the kids, which was truly appreciated. His local knowledge and warm personality made us feel really welcomed by the locals we met along the way. All in all, it was a great half-day tour, and we are very thankful to George for making our time in Takayama so special!

“Short tour of Takayama ”
We had a fantastic time with Mao & her 9 mo baby. We toured the best of Takayama and also learned about one of her favorite restaurants well off the tourist trail. We loved it & it was a unique cultural experience. We also loved staying at Sumiyoshi antique ryokan and the food there was Amazing! Mao was very knowledgeable and a delight to tour with. Highly recommend Takayama and Mao!
