“Fantastic Visit to Moji and Shimonoseki”
Kei did a great job communicating in advance of the tour and customized the day to see the beautiful wisteria that I had been wanting to see. He also added in an extra stop that he knew of that had gorgeous wisteria on our way to the actual garden. We enjoyed visiting Moji Retro, walking under the strait in the pedestrian tunnel and visiting the Shimonoseki fish market. Fantastic day off the cruise ship.
Kei H.
Thank you very much for coming in the best season for wisteria. It's a wonderful day that you appreciate the colorful seasonal flowers. Have a safe trip back home.

“Well recommended for your AoT/Hita trip!”
We had a great time with Kei! We wanted to see some of the Attack on Titan sights in the area, and having a local guide who can provide transport was invaluable (it can be a LONG walk to certain spots). Kei was super communicative before the trip, and had a good (and flexible) schedule planned out for the day. He helped us with getting the proper trains to/from Hakata to Hita, which was appreciated. We hit all of the major AoT spots and still had time to see a wonderful artisanal pottery village, which was definitely one of the highlights. Lunch was excellent, and he also gave us some great recommendations for the food scene in Fukuoka. If you're looking for an AoT tour in Hita, or just want someone to show you some different sights in the Japanese countryside, we highly recommend Kei!
Kei H.
Thank you very much. I appreciate that you share the wonderful information about Costa Rica. I'll be longing to trip to your country in the future for sure.
