“Delightful full day tour in Nagano prefecture”
We had a delightful and inspiring full day tour with Kanami. She has a warm and welcoming personaiity, and her knowledge pf the Region and her English are exceptional. We wanted to visit a few unusual sites for personal/family reasons and she did some great research to find these places. One of the best days ever among our freqent visits to Japan. We would highly recomend Kamani as a guide.

Kanami E.
Thank you so much for your warm review and kind words! I’m still working on improving my English so I can share my knowledge more effectively. Your family’s story is truly heartwarming, and I’m so glad I had the chance to help. I hope to see you and your other family members again soon!

“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!
Kanami E.
Thank you, Chandler san, for the amazing review. I’m so glad you enjoyed my tour. I also truly appreciate the lunch you kindly provided for my driver and me. Your warm personality made the tour go so smoothly. I hope the rest of your trip goes wonderfully, and that your life continues to be filled with wonderful experiences!

“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
