Yuichi was fantastic. He organised this private tour for us. Nothing was a problem. We had a great day, with a knowledgeable guide. We highly recommend Yuichi. If you want to see some spectacular scenery, Kurobe Gorge is worth the effort! We hope to catch up with Yuichi in the future and explore his home town of Toyama on our next trip. Thank you Yuichi for being such a great guide! Debbie, Chris, Jessie and Matt
