“Amazing Hike up Mt. Kintoki”
We have been to Japan several times as our daughter lives here and it is always special treat to book a tour with Hiroshi! This was our third tour with Hiroshi and, as usual, it was amazing. Hiroshi is easy to communicate with. He takes the extra time to get to know you and your needs and adjusts the tour accordingly. Hiroshi, to us, is more than a tour guide, he is a friend. Thank you Hiroshi for another wonderful day.
