“Thank you, Yoko! ”
Yoko was a delight and offered all the things we were looking for in a guide. Her English is excellent. She was flexible to adjust to our preferences (e.g. we’re not big shoppers). She introduced us to local customs, showed us all the key sites in Takayama and pointed out coffee shops and restaurants that otherwise we would not have known about, thanks to her extensive knowledge of the area. We would highly recommend her and feel like we made a new friend!

“Yoko was an excellent guide!”
Yoko was excellent —super friendly, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took us along the Nakasendo trail, giving us additional info to bring everything to life. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend a tour with Yoko if you’re walking the Nakasendo trail!

“Amazing a must do”
This post town trek was excellent. Our guide Yoko gave us some history of the Nakasendo before we started and we began our trek at a leisurely pace through the beautiful post towns and forests. It was so relaxing parts are hilly and a little challenging but not difficult.
Yoko T.
Thank you for your kind words. I too had a great time hiking the Magome-Tsumago Nakasendo trail with you that day. Lots of enjoyable conversations and good local food. I hope to see you again sometime in the future. Best regards, Yoko
