Reviews

Amazing Nara Trip

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Michiko as our tour guide! Her communication leading up to the tour was outstanding. She tailored our itinerary perfectly to accommodate our schedule. Through her, we gained a deep understanding of Japan’s rich culture. Michiko guided us thoughtfully and thoroughly through the shrine and temple, sharing detailed insights along the way. We truly enjoyed our experience with her and wholeheartedly recommend her services. We look forward to having Michiko as our guide again on our next trip to Japan!

Thank you for the wonderful review. It was my great pleasure to be a guide to such a kind-hearted couple. How exciting to find a newborn fawn behind an old stone lanterns, wasn't it? I was also impressed that you’ve got interested in and appreciated our culture and lifestyle.There are many more gems to be found throughout Japan. Please come back to look for them with your family!

Amazing 4 hour Kyoto Tour

We absolutely loved our Kyoto tour with Michiko - this was truly one of our highlights during our Japan trip so far. We learned a lot from her profound knowledge and very much enjoyed her kind company. The tour was also perfect for our 1 year old daughter as Michiko was very thoughtful, considered all our wishes and picked the perfect spots for us. She also made sure that there was no rush and that all of us (including our little one) could truly enjoy the tour. We highly recommend Michiko as a tour guide and are very happy to have met her.

Thank you for your wonderful review. It was a great pleasure to guide such a lovely family like you on a beautiful fresh green morning. Just remembering the innocent smile of the one year old baby and the good cooperation between you and your husband makes me happy. I hope you will continue to enjoy this trip with your family at your own pace. See you again!

Wonderful day around Osaka

We had a lovely day with Michiko being shown around Osaka. We took in all the main parts and Michiko was always on hand to provide history and information in the different parts we visited. Thank you so much Michiko for the tour and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is visiting Osaka.

Thank you for the wonderful review. I had a great time with such a lovely family like you. I'm glad if you've got a sense of the atmosphere of the city of Osaka, which has been a major commercial and industrial center nicknamed the Manchester of the East in the 20th century. I also hope beautiful yukata will remind you the cherry blossoms you've seen during your stay in Japan.
