“Competent, flexible and pleasant guide”

We spent a day and a half in excellent company with Keiichiro San, a kind and pleasant person as well as extremely professional. He spoke excellent English and proved very flexible in planning the itinerary: he accommodated all our wishes and also suggested places less crowded by mass tourism. Thanks to his guidance and the comfort of the private car, we managed to visit many sites that we would never have been able to reach on our own in such a short time. He took us to a local restaurant where we enjoyed excellent traditional cuisine and showed a thorough knowledge of the history, dates and every detail about the temples and places we visited. Always available and attentive to our needs (stopping for a drink, withdrawing cash or any other request), he made the experience truly enjoyable and stress-free. Highly recommended

Keiichiro I.

Thank you very much for your wonderful review. I truly appreciate you taking the time to write such kind words. It was a real pleasure spending the day with you. I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed visiting my favorite place, Nikko. Thank you for being such friendly and wonderful guests. I really enjoyed our conversations and the time we spent together. I hope you had a fantastic trip in Japan and returned home with many wonderful memories. If you ever visit Japan again, I would be delighted to show you more beautiful places. Thank you again, and I wish you all the best! Warm regards, Keiichiro
