Reviews

Amazing AMO Anime Cafe

My daughter, Kana, was very pleased with the tour and had a great time with Michiko. She was very friendly and made sure we did what I wanted to do/see. She is very easy to talk to and tries to find a common interest with her clients. It was very nice talking to her and she knew many good spots to take me." Kana really liked the AMO anime cafe and appreciated Michiko's easy-going nature. Of course we would like to use your service again in the future on our next trip to Kansai. Thank you so much for arranging this wonderful tour!

Dear William, Thank you so much for your lovely message!! We’re so happy to hear that Kana had a great time and that you both enjoyed the tour with Michiko. She will be thrilled to hear your kind words! We truly appreciate your feedback and would absolutely love to welcome you again on your next trip. Thanks again for choosing our service! Best Regards, Mary

Serene beauty

We originally booked a 6 h tour to Kurama, but as it was going to rain the whole day, and hiking there wouldn’t be safe, Mary proposed us an alternative with the same ‘vibe’. We visited two beautiful and serene zen temples (no other tourists around). Rin was our guide, her English was very good though she was rather shy and not very talkative - maybe because the original tour was altered just the day before, there was less information to share. We really appreciated all the effort Mary put in finding a good alternative for the Kurama tour and can definitely recommend her!

Dear Karlien, Thank you so much for your kind review! I'm really glad you enjoyed the tour, even though the weather made us change plans. I appreciate your flexibility and understanding. Hope to guide you in the future! Best regards, Mary

This was the highlight of our three week trip through Asia

The specific guide we had made all the difference. We had two days of touring in Kyoto, the second day being our favorite. Our guide was an English teacher and translator. We know quite a bit about Japan, so we needed someone with a deep cultural understanding and a keen sense of history.
