“Fun and energetic guide”
Hiroshi used to be a school teacher, so he tends to be a bit strict, but in the meantime he is knowledgeable and fun. If you leave the itinerary to him you are sure to get the most out of your experience in the shortest time

“A complete tour of Tokyo”
We have had a very satisfying day with Hiro, visiting the best temples of Kyoto. Hiro is very passionate about his job, he really loves to explain to tourists the history and secrets of his Country. The tour was interesting and his explanation is quick but detailed and not boring. He explained for hours and even with extra time to complete the agreed schedule.

Dear Pietro I say thank you for your great reviews on one day tour in Kyoto. All of you must be surprised when you get into Sanjyu-Sangendo temple, where you felt like walking In the forest of Buddha ! After visiting at Nijyo jyo castle, you visited at Golden Pavilion temple. It was brightly shinning in the beautiful sunset. You were so lucky because you were able to watch the reflections of the Golden Pavilion ! I hope that you will have a nice trip at the rest of the day in Japan. Best regards Sep/8. Hiroshi Tokoyama

“Enjoyable day in Nara”
We enjoyed our day with Hiro in Nara. While Nara is known for the big Buddha and deer, the highlight for us was the Kasugataisha shrine and the visit to the Yakushiji temple. These were both wonderful places especially Yakushiji which had virtually no tourists visiting it. We would not have gone there without Hiro’s guidance.
Hiroshi Y.
Dear Ian I am grateful to you for your great reviews on tour in former ancient capital Nara and Yakushiji or Healing Buddha temple. I felt so happy to see that both of you enjoyed feeding deer food in everywhere in the huge Nara deer park ! Both of you also visited at Yakushiji temple, where you saw the East Pagoda, which is called the most beautiful Pagodas in Japan. I sincerely hope that you can discover your own peace of mind by visiting this temple. Best regards. Sep 8. Hiroshi Y.
