“SHUNTA IS THE BEST!”
Shunta was smart, organized, and just so fun! I scheduled two full days of custom touring with Shunta for myself and adult son. He exceeded expectations is all regards!

“Ein ganz toller Tag”
Lieben Dank, liebe Yuki, dass Du uns so einen schönen Tag bereitet hast. Auch bei 38 Grad haben wir uns nicht die Freude nehmen lassen und haben an dem Tag so viel schönes gesehen und noch interessanteres erfahren über Eure Kultur usw..
Yuki I.
Liebe Sarah, danke für die lieben Worte! Es hat total Spaß gemacht, mit Euch unterwegs zu sein – auch wenn es so heiß war. Ich fand es schön zu sehen, wie interessiert Ihr an allem wart. Hoffentlich behaltet Ihr Japan in guter Erinnerung – und wer weiß, vielleicht treffen wir uns irgendwann wieder!

“Memorable day in Tokyo”
Since I only had one day in Tokyo, I asked Yoko to organise a tour tailored to my tastes. Yoko asked about my personal interests and made suggestions accordingly. She also took my jet lag and aversion to large crowds into consideration. The day itself was very exciting and left me with many wonderful impressions. I am especially grateful to her for all the tips for the rest of my trip and the little pilgrim mascot she gave me for my 88 temple journey on Shikoku. I can recommend Yoko 100 per cent.

Thank you so much for a wonderful review, Dana san. I'm glad that you chose me so I could have an amazing time talking with you. You are so smart that I really enjoy talking with you about Berlin, about your country and about Japan etc. I was happy with your positive comments about each place we visited. Koya-kun is the symbol that you are not alone. I wish you will enjoy Nakesendo and Ohenro-san, too. I will be looking forward to your pictures of your journey. Stay safe!!
