“Kaori's custom quirky tour!”

We asked for a tour to include classic "must see" Kamakura sights AND every day people fun things. We were fortunate to visit on a national holiday and to be able to combine both aspects in a single day. As cat lovers, we asked for and Kaori found, a cat cafe: treats for the most magnificent felines and us! She shared her wonderfully deep knowledge about history, religion, and culture ( and the railway system!). She provided maps and schedules as well as her own tablet to show us significant eras in Japanese history. That helped us make sense of all the historical sites which we saw. Her communication in advance of the trip was considerate of our wishes, thorough in her replies and research, and helped us prepare the perfect day. We look forward to touring with her again.

Dear Nancy-san, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review, especially while you're still traveling! I’m so happy to hear that my explanations helped you enjoy and understand each spot in Kamakura. We were so lucky to have such a lovely autumn day for our tour. Spending time at the cat café was such a relaxing treat to wrap up our day! I look forward to seeing you again for another adventure - a quirky Tokyo tour next time! Wishing you a fantastic and memorable trip to Kyushu! Please pass my best love to Mary-Ann san too! Big hugs, Kaori

“Perfect stay at Tokyo with Kaori ”

Kaori was an amazing guide! She showed us wonderful places in Tokyo, shared many useful local tips, and made the whole day enjoyable and interesting. Her knowledge, kindness, and enthusiasm were outstanding. We learned so much and discovered places we would never have found ourselves.Thank you, Kaori, for a fantastic and unforgettable experience. Highly recommended! Uta & Friends

Hello Uta-san, thank you so much for taking the time to write such wonderful feedback! I’m so glad to hear that you had a great start to your journey with me. I tried to share as much about our basic customs, culture, and travel tips as possible so that you can better understand everything you’ll see during your time in Japan. Please pass along my heartfelt thanks to your husband and dear friends for their wonderful friendship! I hope to see you all again in the future. Big hugs, Kaori

“10 star experience! if you only do one thing - do the.”

If we could give 10 stars, we would. The Mt Fuji trip with Kaori (and her husband Ichiro) was the highlight of my wife and mine trip to Japan. When booking, I asked Kaori for very specific trip, and she tailored the day trip for us. Despite the weather (torrential rains), it turned out to be the best experience. The most important part – this did not feel like a tour – it felt like a couple showing another couple the place where they live (Kaori is from Mt. Fuji area) and giving us a personal view of their world.

Thank you so much for your heartwarming and wonderful comments. My husband Ichiro and I are delighted to hear you felt time with us more than a tour. That is what we exactly value most on our car trip - personal tie as person to person. We were so happy to be able to help each of you fulfill your dreams. Standing on Mt.Fuji for Irina-san, and Ice cave for you. A photo of us all together on Mt.Fuji 5th station in the heavy rain is a memory we will never forget. We recently made your local dish you introduced us and loved it!! We appreciate this wonderful encounter with you. Big hugs, Kaori and Ichiro
