“Cherry Blossoms ”
Kashima H. was a great guide and communicator. Before we arrived he told us the cherry blossoms were early this year so with our permission he would take us to several spots of late blooming trees. We were happy with the spots chosen and enjoyed going on the Tokyo subway with him too. He found a ramen restaurant for us at Ueno Station. We very much enjoyed the tour and recommend Kashima H. to be your guide.

“Gunma Tour ”
Knowledgeable guide with lots of experience. He made a change for viewing Sakura which was a good decision which increased the cost of our van. Says that transportation company increased the cost due to the change but I can’t recall being notified of this change. Was also charged with 2900yen of tolls which I paid but was never told about this prior. I paid all of this but don’t think I was told ahead of time
