“Amazing Guide Services!!”
I can't recommend Tomo any higher, he's a 10 out of 10!! We learned all about the Japanese culture as Tomo guided us up the sacred shrine. He truly is a amazing guide, hes very fluent in English and was teaching us Japanese on the way. We feel honored that we were allowed to experience this Japanese culture, we will never forget it
Tomoya H.
Thank you Tom! That was my pleasure to guide you as well as introduce Japanese cultural history. I hope you enjoyed it, and hope to see you again soon! Tomo

“Kyoto tour”
Our tour guide in Japan, Tomo-san, was absolutely wonderful, knowledgeable, so nice, kind, and genuinely helpful. He really knew his stuff and shared so many interesting stories and facts that made everything come alive. What stood out the most was how thoughtful and patient he was, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. It felt like we were exploring Japan with a friend.

Gigi, It was so amazing to see you and your brilliant boys, and it is my great honor to take you to the places I love. But this is just an entrance. I hope we will be touring again next spring to hunt Japanese Sakura cherry blossom in full bloom! Thank you so much!

“A fishing trip to remember...”
Thanks to Tomo my interest in going fishing in the mountains in Japan came true. Thankfully the autumn colours were on show surrounding the fishing location which was a bonus as we had not seen much colour during our tour of Japan. Tomo was a great help in arranging the entry to the fishing ponds and after we had caught enough then arranging for the fish to be prepared three ways for lunch, which was very delicious. Tomo has excellent English language skills, and is someone who is very easy to chat with, which made for a very enjoyable day. In terms of the overall day, I didn't plan enough after the fishing to get full use of the time available, although a detour to a shopping centre on the way back did allow us to stock up on packaged food items to bring back as treats. Overall, we were very happy that we had Tomo as our guide and the trout fishing and it's setting were very memorable. Whilst Tomo's passion is the outdoors (of which Japan has truly exceptional tracts of it), I would strongly recommend him as a guide for a range of tour options. Thank you Tomoe for a memorable day.
