“Dream Tour”

Yuriko is a miracle worker in more ways than I could ever imagine. She created a custom tour of 3 towns in the one day we had left in the area. It was so well organized and she kept us on track of a jam-packed itinerary to ensure we saw all the places on our wish list. It was heavenly breathing in the fresh mountain air while walking in the rain through Shirakawago and touring the inside of these steeply-pitched roofed houses. Yuriko introduced us to the most delicious beef sushi that I can’t stop thinking about in Takayama. She thoughtfully found points of interest depicted in anime movies for the anime fan in our family. Yuriko turned our dreams into reality on this tour. We spent two back-to-back days touring with her and by the end she felt like family.

Thank you so much for posting your nice review even about another tour. I also had a wonderful day in Shirakawago, Takayama and Hida Furukawa with you though a little bit busy tour. Especially, Hida-Beef sushi which we ate together in Takayama was so delicious!! Also, Festival Museum in Hida Furukawa was great, wasn't it? Thank you for giving me such a wonderful chance to guide around Gifu's charming places to you. There are lots of fun memories with you about the tour because you are so friendly to me. Please come to Gifu again with your family. I'm looking forward to seeing you again.

“Wonderful Castle Town”

I would never have imagined how one small town could be so enchanting, but Yuriko designed a wonderful day of sightseeing mixed with just the right blend of history and culture. There are many temples in Japan, but the one Yuriko selected was the perfect place to be still and enjoy the serenity of the garden. The koi fish canals added to the charm of the town. We had so much fun seeing the local handicrafts and trying our hand at traditional silkscreening. The mountain castle was the pinnacle of the day. It made such a difference that Yuriko picked us up at and brought us back to our hotel in addition to going out of her way to show us nearby restaurants to eat at near where we were staying. We enjoyed our time with Yuriko so much that our only regret was that we had two days with her.

Thank you for your excellent review and nice comments. I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed Gujo Hachiman tour. It's my pleasure to guide around Gujo Hachiman to you, because the town is close to my husband parents' house. In summer, the town holds bon-dancing and anyone can join the dancing. Please come to Gujo Hachiman in summer with your family and enjoy bon-dancing together!

“Gotta Go Kyoto with Yuriko”

Yuriko provided our family of 5 with a delightful tour of the Arashiyama district, Tenryu-ji Temple, and the Kinkaju-ri Golden Pavilion. She took us to a fun conveyor belt sushi spot (which she selected to accommodate my wife’s gluten intolerance). We highly recommend Yuriko!
