“Amazing personal tour of Shimane”
Our tour guide, Daizaburo Sab, was truly exceptional! He provided a wealth of knowledge about Matsue Castle and Izumo Taisha Shrine, the history, and the surrounding culture. His passion for the shrine was contagious, and his interests made the tour incredibly engaging. We learned so much more about this amazing place than we ever would have on our own and it was one of our favorite castles. Daizaburo's dedication to providing a meaningful experience for all visitors is truly appreciated. He even arranged some amazing visits to shops we were interested in and surprised us with a stop at the Tori gates outside a shrine in the area. Lunch at a samurai house was one of the highlights of the day as well. Thank you for a great trip!

I'm glad to hear you three seemed to enjoy the tour. This was the first time for me to use a car as a means of transportation. But it was good ultimately, because we can be more flexible handling the schedule. You were both very friendly and considerate. And I was glad to know that your love of Japan was great! It is partly because you lived in Japan when you were young. You use Prius, RAV4 and HONDA. If you come to Japan again in the future, please drop in on Shimane! Please remember to Scott and Tonny (I wish spellings are collect)! Thanks! Take care!
