“Sayori was fantastic! So much fun”
Sayori helped us plan a personalised tour. I believe the cost was very reasonable too. We (my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and I) visited a local spot in the countryside where we had a beautiful tea ceremony. Sayori is the type of person who is genuinely interested in people and learning about you and hearing your stories. Sayori made us feel so welcomed and we are so grateful to Sayori for this authentic experience.

Thank you for your lovely comment, Ella san. It was so nice to meet all of you. The weather was perfect, experiencing and learning about the tea ceremony at Gyokuro no Sato was such a great memory. Sitting in the small tatami room chatting with ladies was very special. Although it was such a short time, thank you for letting me be your guide. I hope you made it back no problem. Thank you Sayori

“Shimizu from cruise port”
Our guide Sayori was excellent. All communication was clear and we met her on the pier holding a sign. The tour was less than half the cost of the ship tour, even when we added the cost for the bus ticket, taxis and entrances fees. All there were 6 of us, not 50. The personal attention made a huge difference. Sayori speaks perfect English and we all understood her well. We visited the same places as the cruise ship tour, but Sayori knew what times tours would be at certain places so she worked around that. We only waited a bit at the ropeway. Highly recommended for sure.
