Reviews
“Whirlwind tour of the Kansai region!”
We hired Takashi for a 4 day tour that included Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate on that first day, but Takashi was very helpful, and we appreciated his flexibility on timing and meeting us at the train station to help us get to our hotel with all of our luggage. The remaining days were awesome as we enjoyed the major sites in the Kansai region with Takashi leading the way. It was truly gorgeous with the fall colors in full effect. We had a great time and got a lot of beautiful pictures. Takashi is very knowledgeable of the history and culture of the region and we enjoyed all of the stories he shared with us. Thank you Takashi!
