“Amazing Experience!”
I had a great day with Koki. Learning to Ayu fish was a blast. He also took us to see traditional cormorant fishing at night. We even got a better view than some of the people who paid to be out in boats! He made everything go smoothly throughout the whole day. Highly reccomend. This was the highlight of my trip so far.

Hi Joshua, Thank you very much wonderful comment. How did you enjoy the taste of ayu fish from Nagara River? I hope you will stay in Gifu for a week or so next time and enjoy ayu tomozuri fishing. It was a beautiful day and we were able to enjoy the cormorant fishing from the shore. We look forward to seeing you again. Koki

“Great experience in Takayama”
We had a great experience with Koki, learning and experiencing Japanese culture. Koki arranged a few activities for us including Tea Ceremony where we could try to do it ourselves. We appreciate his flexibility in dealing with us

“Koki is AWESOME”
We have had excellent guides over the past few years with GoWithGuide! And Koki definitely deserves a 5 star review! His English is great, he's a super fast walker so we covered a lot of ground and he patiently answered all of our questions about the sights in Kyoto and Japan in general. What a great day! Thank you, Koki!!
