Kanazawa Tour Reviews

Shirakawago village with guide

Yurikosan is very dependable and clever guide. She took care of us - 3 people and explained history of prefecture, Sharakawago village and Japan. I would recomend her to my frend.

Hela R.

Thank you for an excellent review and nice comments! I also enjoyed driving from Takayama to Shirakawago and visiting the nostalgic village with you and your nice family. Someday in the future, I'd like to visit your country with my husband. See you again!

Hiroshima and Miyajima Island

Yuriko guided myself and my son for a one-day trip from Osaka to Hiroshima and then to sacred island of Miyajima. She is a wonderful guide. Knowledgeable, well organized and good company. Would happily recommend her to anyone thinking about a guide.

James R.

Thank you for using your precious time in order to post such a good review and comments! I'm so happy to hear that you and your son enjoyed Hiroshima and Miyajima. I also had a wonderful day with both of you. Please come to Japan again, maybe next destination would be Ghibli Park in Aichi Prefecture. If so, please drop in my hometown, Gifu! Gifu has lots of sightseeing spots, such as swordsmith town, Seki City, beautiful and nostalgic castle town, Gujo-hachiman and Takayama, and World Heritage Site, Shirakawago. See you again! Yuriko

Kyoto

Kyoto is one of the most popular places to visit, but so crowded. If you want to enjoy quiet Kyoto, I recommend you visit there early morning. In this tour, you can enjoy bamboo grove, morning coffee at a Japanese style coffee shop and beautiful river and mountains scenery from a wooden bridge. After that, why don't you try 'washoku', or Japanese cuisine and maiko, or cute apprentice geisha's dancing? My special early morning tour will give you wonderful and unforgettable memories in Japan!!
