“Nikko Nature ”

Keiichiro was an excellent guide-with extensive local knowledge and personal experiencr of the area. He took us to magnificent sites and told us about the natural habit. His connection to the area is extremely valuable. His tour of the temple and shrines was equally great. One of the best tours we have had. Highly recommended!
