“Osaka trip”
Yuta was very flexible with his schedule and came to see us in Osaka from Kyoto. We spent a few hours and talked mostly about local customs and culture differences. I am sure there was a lot more he could have told us about historical facts, but the practical things such as how to navigate the metro system and other useful tips for nubes like us were way more interesting. He chose a few very interesting sites to show us and gave some nice recommendations for the evening. Overall an excellent experience and we would contact him again.

“Ausgezeichnete Reisef?hrung durch Kyoto”
Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit mit Yuka in Kyoto. Da wir nicht mehr ganz so gut zu Fuß unterwegs sind, hat Yuka die Tour perfekt auf unsere Möglichkeiten angepasst. Wir haben bei der Führung sehr viel über das Leben in Japan von ihm erfahren. Während der Tour hat er uns die historischen Geschichten über die besuchten Tempel und Stadtviertel sehr gut näher gebracht. Vielen Dank an Yuka Marion und Gerhard

(24 reviews)Hello, Gwenaelle!! Thank you for booking my tour! I enjoyed our wide-ranging conversations on the tour. Your husband has a great sense of humor, and you asked me lots of questions about Japan, which was a lot of fun! I really enjoyed the conversation with you!! Unfortunately we had some rain, but I hope you could experience another Kyoto in this rainy atmosphere! Please let me know if you come to Japan again. Best regards, Yuta
