Reviews
“Poor Experience”
No disrespect to Yasuo, but my client had a very poor experience with him which caused me to have to issue a refund to the client for poor service, as she was very upset that he was not able to find the location. This did damage to my company's reputation, and my reputation as a travel agent. Again, no disrespect to Yasuo, but this is the experience we had. Nothing malicious happened, but the experience was not good or reliable for the client.
“Delightful day”
Yasuo was very prepared and on time for our day in Osaka. We asked to see and experience local flavor and historical sites. We could not be more pleased with the experiences he delivered . He is patient and answered all questions. We highly recommend him as your guide in Osaka .

“Tour with Yasuo”
Our tour with Yasuo was very nice and organized. Yasuo was thoughtful to contact us at our hotel to confirm with us as my internet was not working well. He planned out our route well and it was a good overview for the time we booked with him. He is a very pleasant person to spend time with as a tour guide.
Yasuo A.
Ms and Mr Marks, Thank you very much for your thoughtful message. I was worried if the legs of Mr. Marks were OK in the last stage of your trip as he seemed a little tired. I am glad to hear your kind message. Thank you again and wish you an enjoyable life. Best wishes, Yasuo
