“Amazing guide!!!”
Uuki was a great guide for my family and I during our trip to Japan, she made us feel so comfortable and gave us more than enough time to explore and shop around. Uuki was very mindful and helped us make a good itinerary within the time frame. We would use her again if we came back to Japan!!

Dear Lucero, I’m so happy you said so, thank you for those best memories your family members have brought me. Hope I can see you again someday!:)<3
“Minoo Falls and America-mura”
Uki was an excellent guide to the water fall in Minoo park and my 18 year old son was looking for a place to find cool clothes. Uki suggested America-mura and my son was able to find what he was looking for. Uki helped us find food along the way and made suggestion for the rest of our time in Osaka.

In the middle of September, the weather was still humid and thank you so much for doing the little hiking with me. I hope you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and hope your son enjoy his gap year, have new discoveries:)
“Uki was excellent!”
UKi was excellent!!! She was fun, energetic, informative, flexible & so thoughtful. She was terrific with our older teenagers, accommodating and made it a wonderful two days in Kyoto. She was very sensitive of my being a bit slower with a walking cane. She also knew what sites might be a little more challenging on my legs versus for my teenagers whom we encouraged to go for it while she kept me company at a café nearby waiting for them. She handled all the logistics of taxi, Uber, trains and made it all run so smoothly. After only a few hours with her, you feel at home with her. She’s such a good person! We’re so impressed with UKi. She made our tour amazing and so enjoyable! We miss her already! Thank you Uki!

Dear Mitch, Thank you so much for giving me this heartwarming review. I translated your words to my grandmother, she seemed very relieved to hear that I’m doing good at my job, thank you so much. I admire you because even your leg hurt, you and your family made this Japan journey a very nice one. I hope you and your family always stay happy, just like when you are traveling to Japan. I hope your parents like the hot pot, too. I will try hard in study, and hope someday I can go to US to see you.
