“Uma-zing tour with Kanami”
I had the one of the best days in Japan on my tour with Kanami. She was very informative, and made small adjustments to tailor fit the tour. I’m usually the type to take my photos of scenery and not myself, but thanks to Kanami I got more photos air dropped to me at the end of the tour so my family get to see me enjoy my vacation as well. The best quality from this tour, is how it felt I was more of a friend being shown around then as some tourist . Thanks again Kanami for the amazing day!

“Trip with Kanami. ”
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and the activities with Kanami. She kindly picked us up from the hotel and then guided us through some natural attractions, providing detailed explanations. Her kindness ensured we didn't miss a thing. Following that, Kanami suggested we try glass making, which turned out to be an absolutely wonderful experience, resulting in an unforgettable memory. It was a great pleasure and a lot of fun to be with you.

Kanami E.
Thank you so much to you and your wonderful friends for having me as your guide. I’m so glad you enjoyed the natural sights, and especially the glass-making experience. Also, thank you for being so understanding about the limited space in the car. I felt really sorry about it, and I will work on making improvements for the future. I truly had an amazing time with you and your friends—you all brought so much energy and joy! Please enjoy the rest of your trip in Japan, and I hope to see you again someday. Kanami

“Amazing scenery and fun soba-making experience!”
This is the second part of my two-day tour with Kanami, and Day 2 was just as amazing! We visited a shrine perched on a cliff, and it was pleasant to do some light trekking in the cool winter air, while admiring nature. For lunch, I had the chance to make my own food with a hands-on soba-making experience! It was great fun learning the traditional craft and enjoying the freshest noodles with tempura. Then, we visited a geothermal area with breathtaking views of Mount Asama—a sight that left us in awe. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and Kanami ensured I had the best experience. If you're looking for a guide who combines adventure, culture, and relaxation, look no further!
