“A memorable day in Fukushima!”
Our tour with Go Ezaki was amazing! He kindly adapted the itinerary, swapping the Super Zero Mill for a charming baumkuhen shop, where we enjoyed delicious low-sugar sweets made with locally grown rice — a unique and tasty experience. We also stopped to take photos at Futaba’s famous murals by local artists, visited the school heavily impacted by the tsunami, and had a delicious local lunch in Namie. To top it off, we ended the day with the breathtaking view of Iwaki’s coastline and its nori that has been there for over 40 years. It was a long day but perfectly organized. We made it back to the train to Tokyo on time, and Go was an outstanding guide — detailed, attentive, a great photographer, and full of fascinating insights about Fukushima and Japan. Highly recommended!

Maycon san, Thank you so much for coming all the way to Fukushima this time. I am relieved to hear that you were generally satisfied. It was really good to hear from you about various useful stories.

“Great (customized) version of this trip with Go”
Go was very friendly, went out of his way to fit in with our needs (tweaking the itinerary and even borrowing a bigger car), and was a mine of detailed information on the complexities of the Fukushima response after 2011 to Japanese politics, the local population decline, and the economy. A fascinating day with a particular highlight being the visit to the the The Great East Japan Earthquake and Nuclear Disaster Memorial Museum in Futaba. A unique (and completely safe) experience we'd strongly recommend.

Charles-san, Thank you for your review. I am relieved that you seem to be generally satisfied. I have learned a lot through conversations with your family. I had a very valuable and enjoyable time. Personally, I had a few things to reflect on this time. I would like to work hard and improve for a better tour in the future. Thank you. Go

Fukushima Coastal Area Car Tour
This tour takes you through the coastal area in Fukushima. In 2011, the area experienced three disasters: a major earthquake, a tsunami, and a nuclear power plant accident. More than 10 years have passed since then, but only a small part of the residents have returned, and there are problems such as the decommissioning of nuclear power plants and waste disposal. However, there are also positive aspects, such as new business initiatives. I would like the guests to see the current situation.
