Reviews

Amazing day with Keiichiro even with bad weather.

We booked the night before and he answered our booking very quickly. We didn’t pick anything for an itinerary and went with his plan for the day. We visited many nature spots and ended with seeing the shrine and temples at the end. He is incredibly kind and his English is great. We had an amazing time even if the weather wasn’t good. The car was comfortable and he pivoted plans to give us the best day. He was easy to converse with and was knowledgeable about the area. He gave many recommendations for the rest of our trip in Japan. Overall we really enjoyed his service.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was truly a pleasure guiding you in Nikko, and I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour despite the weather. I really appreciate your kind words about my English and guiding — it means a lot to me. I hope the rest of your journey in Japan will be just as memorable, and please don’t hesitate to contact me anytime if you need travel advice or wish to explore more of Japan.

The best day of our trip

We had the most wonderful day with Keiichiro-san. He communicated with us well before the tour so expectations were very clear. Keiichiro-san was waiting for us at Tobu-Nikko station with a gift of a local delicacy! So kind! He drove us to the various places we wanted to see- Jizo statues, Kegon Falls, Lake Chuzenji, the mountainous marshlands area (which he recommended), and of course the large Toshigi shrine complex. At each point he shared interesting insights and historical facts (in perfect English) , enabling us to understand both the history and culture. Keiichiro-san took us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch where we tasted the local yuba noodles specialty, which was delicious. Keiichiro-san was a wonderful guide and exceptionally patient - my daughter needs to linger everywhere to get the best photos and videos for instagram! and he took things at our relaxed pace. We were thrilled with this day - both the awe-inspiring natural landscapes and cultural heritage of Nikko, and also our kind, knowledgeable and patient guide.

Thank you so much for your kind words and wonderful review. I myself truly enjoyed guiding you both around Nikko, and it was a very fulfilling and joyful day for me as well. I am sincerely grateful for the time we shared together, and it was such a pleasure to see your interest in both the history and nature of Nikko. Thank you again, and I hope our paths will cross once more in the future.

Arigato Nikko with our guide Keiichiro!

Keiichiro is a knowledgeable, diligent, and patient person. He helped to host our family, recommended an excellent place for lunch, and showcased the wonders of Nikko. I would recommend asking him questions, as he is full of great suggestions when you are planning and working out your booking.
