“ Excellent guide,!!! ”

If we could give 10 stars we would do that for HIRO. We had such a wonderful day in Nara with him and saw the most incredible sites. He was so enthusiastic and was so knowledgeable everywhere we went. We also stopped for a wonderful lunch and got to rest for a while and then continued our eight hour tour. Needless to say “HIGHLY RECOMMEND “

Hiroyuki F.

Dear Noel, Thank you Noel for such encouraging words, it motivates me to work harder and improve better. I had a very good time with you and Diane talking about the history and culture of Japan. I was especially impressed with your question about the fund for the construction of the Great Buddha Hall. It was built by the people's power. I hope you will enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan and have a safe trip home. Best regards, Hiro

“ Fabulous Two-Day Tour of Osaka & Kyoto ”

We were introduced to Hiroyuki through another guide. He helped us to plan a custom tour of Osaka and Kyoto over a two day period. His planning was impeccable, down to each train we would be traveling and each train station we would be transitioning through. His in-depth knowledge of history of the region was interwoven with personal experiences. We are grateful to him for introducing us to this wonderful country. Highly recommended.

Hiroyuki F.

Dear Leslie, Thank you for taking the time to write this review. Your kind words encourage me greatly. In fact I usually don't visit museums with the guest, however you gave me a good opportunity to visit Osaka Ukiyoe Museum etc., which was of help to my guide ability. I hear that you have more than ten days tour in Japan from tomorrow. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay and have safe journey. Best regards, Hiro
