We're well taken care of by Yoko and had a lovely time although the weather had been pretty lousy. She's given us interesting info, taken us to a good lunch and afternoon dessert place. It was a good experience. Thank you

Naoshima art island

We spent the day with Yoko at Naoshima art island. Yoko came very well prepared with a detailed itinerary which she had discussed with us in advance. She ensured that the trip went exactly as per her planned itinerary, and ensured that we didn’t miss a single attraction or bus ride. She handled difficult situations well (eg when a museum we had not reserved ran out of tickets she managed to convince them to accommodate a few tickets for us). She was very kind, cheerful and energetic throughout. Gave a lot of useful information and context around the art and architecture we saw. Overall, the best guide we have had in our first week in Japan. Thanks for a fantastic day.

Wonderful Day in Kojima and Kurashiki with Yoko

Yoko is an excellent guide that made it easy to enjoy our day in the Okayama area without having to worrying about the planning as she customized a tour for us. We first went to Washuzan Hill to view the Seto Inland Sea and did a small hike to see the Seto Ohashi Bridge. After that we did a boat tour and later visited the Kurashiki historical area. She was very knowledgeable of the area and had a great recommendation for lunch. I have found that having a guide will make your day go more smoothly and you also get a lot more out of your travels. If you are touring the Okayama area, Yoko is a great choice!
