“Nagoya Half Day”
Our guide,Roy was spectacular. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the local history and culture, making every stop come to life. For our first time in Nagoya he made the history so inteesting and explained everything in great detail but yet not over the top and we came away with so much information. He was very helpful answering our questions carefully. English was very good. He was patient and listened to what we wnated to do regarding food and shopping!

“Wonderful time with Roy”
Roy was wonderful. Very professional and knowledgable. He had a printed schedule of our day, which my husband loved. He also lost no time in teaching us. On our train ride, he took out his binder and gave us a short version of Japan's history, which we loved. He was great with my two boys! Thanks Roy!

Hi Maria, I’m glad to know you enjoyed the tour in Nagoya, which I was also so happy to spend time with your family from my favorite country. All the best, Roy

“Roy is an Excellent Guide!”
Four of us hired Roy for a tour of Nagoya, and it was great. We took subways and trains, visited Atsuta Shrine, Nagoya Castle, shopping areas and much more. We had a very nice lunch, and enjoyed Roy's deep knowledge of the area and Japanese history. It was really enjoyable learning the history behind the sites we visited. I would strongly recommend Roy as a tour guide. His English is great, and we enjoyed his tour very much!

David-san, I was grateful for your choosing me as a tour guide in Nagoya. I really enjoyed the conversation with you and your people about Japan and the US. It was a good fortune for us to see the first visit of a baby to Atsuta Shrine, called OMIYA-MAIRI, accompanied with their parents and grand parents as well as a bride and bridegroom, wearing formal Kimono. I do hope that you will keep enjoying the rest of Japan trip safely. Best Regards, Roy

Toyokawa Inari Plan
Toyokawa is located in Aichi near Shizuoka prefecuture. It is famous for Toyokawa inari which is kind of "FOX shrine" If you can go there, I belive you can make your wish come true by the Budda. Besides, you will paint your own fox mask, eat local food, buy some souveniors. I highly recommend you should come here.
