“Exploring Nagasaki”
We spent a wonderful day exploring Nagasaki with Hero! He was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. We saw so many more sights in one day than we could ever have done on our own. Highly recommend Hero as a guide!
“She took us to a beautiful temple and a wonderful restaurant. ”
She was great to work with. Very helpful with the language and how to get around. She was very kind.

Mystical Mountains: A Tour of Kurama and Kifune Shrines
“Great tour in countryside away from city”
We loved this tour. Chiharu was an excellent guide since he was local and knew the area well. We wanted to fo beyond the city and see the country side, normal life and the mountains. This tour was great for that as the train ran up the mountain through villages and also a magical Japanese Maple Forest. Our guide was patience with us as the hike was fairly steep at times. Food along the river was excellent and a wonderful experience. We were exhausted at the end of the day but totally recommend the company and the tour.
