“Wonderful Time Exploring Kyoto with Masahisa”

My wife and I, from the Chicago area, spent nearly two wonderful days exploring Kyoto with Masahisa M., and we highly recommend him. Masahisa is knowledgeable, energetic, and genuinely enjoys sharing Japan's history and culture. We visited famous sites such as Fushimi Inari, Tenryu-ji, and Katsura Imperial Villa, as well as several beautiful and meaningful places that are less known to tourists. His explanations added so much depth to what we were seeing, and he also gave us great suggestions for places to visit independently. He keeps a brisk pace and knows how to navigate Kyoto efficiently, which allowed us to see far more than we could have managed by ourselves. He also took us to an authentic local restaurant that we would never have found on our own. Masahisa is friendly, personable, and fun to spend time with. We enjoyed hearing his perspectives on Japanese culture and even talking a little about the Chicago Bears. As we got accustomed to each other's speaking styles, Masahisa was always patient and happy to repeat information or jot down notes when helpful. We especially appreciated his thoughtfulness. He took photos of us throughout the tour and later surprised us with printed copies, a gesture that perfectly reflects the extra care he shows his guests. Masahisa is a true gentleman who goes the extra mile to make sure his guests have a memorable experience. Thanks to him, our time in Kyoto was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan.

Therese I was delighted that I had the opportunity to show you some landscapes that still retains, at least to some extent, the court culture and atmosphere of Kyoto as an ancient capital. I was truly amazed when I witnessed a gigantic passenger ship navigating the waterways of Stockholm, reaching areas remarkably close to the heart of the city. Once again, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for taking the time out of your busy schedule to visit us here, especially after traveling such a long distance. Thanks Masahisa

“Nara with thousands of Deers”

We had a wonderful experience with Mike as our tour guide! He was punctual, professional, and very knowledgeable about all the places he took us to. He explained the history and interesting facts about each location, making the tour both enjoyable and informative. What made the experience even better was that Mike went the extra mile by recommending additional places to visit and great spots to eat. His helpful suggestions made our trip even more memorable. Overall, we had a great time with Mike and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and friendly tour guide. Thank you, Mike, for making our trip such a wonderful experience!

Audrykho It was a real pleasure showing you and your husband around Nara, and I’m delighted that you enjoyed the tour. Meeting you both brought back many fond memories of my own visits to your country in my active days, including trips to Kuala Lumpur and Kemaman, Terengganu as well as a holiday on Tioman Island. I still remember how I spent an entire day lying on the Tioman Island beach, only to suffer such severe sunburn that I ended up groaning in bed and ruining my whole holiday !!! I also fondly remember driving along the beautiful beaches, Club Med Cherating Beach. It was also lovely to meet you both again by chance during your sightseeing the following day in Kyoto. Thank you again for your visiting us all the way. I hope our paths will cross again someday. Masahisa
