“Perfect Guide for Kochi”

I cannot recommend Hiroshi more highly. His local knowledge of Kochi allowed us to see and do things we would not have been able to do on our own. We had a wonderful day in Kochi.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review and the kind words. It was a real pleasure to spend the day with your family in Kochi, and I am so glad you enjoyed the experience. Kochi is still off the beaten path for many travelers, so I always try to share the small local stories and hidden details that make a visit here special. I am very happy that I could help you discover sides of the city that would be hard to find on your own. Cruise days in Kochi can feel short, but with good planning there is so much to enjoy. With a private guide and car, we can move at your own pace and add small local spots that are hard to reach on a group tour. Wishing you safe travels, and I would be delighted to welcome you back to Kochi anytime. Hiroshi

“Amazing Tour Guide & Photographer in Kochi”

We had a wonderful experience touring Kochi with Hiroshi as our guide. He was very personable, knowledgeable, and easy to spend the day with, making our visit feel relaxed, enjoyable, and thoughtfully planned. One of the highlights of our tour was Makino Botanical Garden, which was an amazing experience and absolutely worth visiting. One member of our group had mobility challenges, and Hiroshi was very considerate in arranging the visit so that everyone in our party could see and enjoy the garden comfortably. His care and attention made a real difference in allowing the whole group to fully participate. Hiroshi also recommended a great restaurant that everyone enjoyed, which was especially impressive given the different preferences within our group. We also visited Kochi Castle, and throughout the day Hiroshi helped us capture wonderful memories. He took amazing photos of our group and later provided us with a link to enjoy them all, which was truly priceless and such a thoughtful extra touch. For anyone looking to see Kochi in a more personal and customized way, especially within a shorter amount of time, having Hiroshi as a guide is well worth it. It allowed us to enjoy the sights at our own pace without feeling rushed or crowded, which made the day much more meaningful than a large cruise ship or bus tour.

Thank you so much for this kind review. Spending the day with your group was a real pleasure, and I am so happy the tour felt relaxed and easy to enjoy. I was glad we could plan the Makino Botanical Garden visit so everyone could explore it together and take their time. It meant a lot to me that the whole group could enjoy the garden comfortably, side by side. It was fun finding a restaurant that worked for everyone, and Kochi Castle was a nice way to round out the day. Taking photos along the way is one of my favorite things, so being able to share them with you afterward made me happy. Thank you again for spending the day with me. I hope you all made it back to the ship with good memories of Kochi, and I would be happy to welcome you back someday. Hiroshi

“A dream came true”

It has always been a dream of my father’s to go to Tsuno Town, a small village in Kochi with about 5 thousand people, where his ancestors came from before immigrating. Since it’s a place only accessible by car, we were searching options to take us there from Kochi and found Hiroshi-san’s personalized tour. It couldn’t have been a better experience. He is a gentle soul, safe driver and absolutely in love with Kochi itself. After paying respects in the grave of our ancestors, he showed us some beautiful sights of Kochi and took us to have lunch where we could experience local cuisine and buy plenty of souvenirs. Hiroshi-san speaks very good English and is extremely friendly. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Thank you for helping us make this dream come true, me and my family will definitely come back to stay longer next time!

Thank you very much for your wonderful review! It was a true honor and a privilege to be part of such a significant journey for your family. Assisting in fulfilling your father’s lifelong dream of visiting his ancestral roots in Tsuno Town is a memory I will cherish as a guide. Standing by as you paid your respects at the family grave was a deeply moving moment, and I am glad we could make this return to Kochi a reality for all of you. I am also delighted that you enjoyed the scenic drive to the highlands, our local cuisine, and found some great souvenirs to take back to Brazil! Your family's warmth and kind spirit made the day truly special for me as well. Please know that you are always welcome back in Kochi. There are still many hidden gems I would love to show you next time! Wishing you and your family a safe journey home and all the best. Warm regards, Hiroshi
