“Short tour of Takayama ”
We had a fantastic time with Mao & her 9 mo baby. We toured the best of Takayama and also learned about one of her favorite restaurants well off the tourist trail. We loved it & it was a unique cultural experience. We also loved staying at Sumiyoshi antique ryokan and the food there was Amazing! Mao was very knowledgeable and a delight to tour with. Highly recommend Takayama and Mao!

“A wonderful local perspective of Takayama!”
We had a fantastic 2.5-hour tour with Mao, and she was truly wonderful. Even for a shorter tour, she took the time to carefully plan an itinerary that was perfectly adapted to all of our interests and specific requests. Mao shared great historical facts, but what we loved most was seeing the city through the eyes of someone born and raised there. It gave us a unique, authentic connection to Takayama that we wouldn't have found otherwise. We really enjoyed our time with her and highly recommend Mao for a personal and insightful tour!
Mao Y.

“Mao is a thoroughly competent and cheerful guide. ”
We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent with Mao, she is one of the best guides we have had anywhere in the world. She was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. Her spoken English is very good indeed and she gave us thoughtful insights into Takayama specifically and Japan in general. Mao communicated with us very well before the tour. She well organised and has been a pleasure to deal with We recommend her unreservedly.
