“Above and beyond”
Nobuko went above and beyond to make our experience special. Our party had members with strict dietary issues, and she made sure to book meals at places that could accommodate them. She is a warm, personable, and felt like a member of the family. Highly, highly recommend!

Dear Lia san, Thank you so much for your lovely words! It really warmed my heart. I felt so lucky to spend time with all of you — like being part of one big, happy family! The meals you kindly treated me to were absolutely delicious and made for such unforgettable moments. I’ll always treasure those special times we shared. Please let me guide you around our hometown again when you come back! With love from Japan, Nobuko
