Your most memorable tour to Nara (Kyoto or Osaka departure)
“Outstanding Guide”
We were a large group of 10 and we arranged to have Kazu take us to a Nara and Kyoto. He met us at the Osaka cruise port for our 10 hours of touring and traveling. The tour itinerary involved taking trains and A LOT of walking, but several members of our group had some mobility issue. However, Kazu was VERY PATIENT and had this under control. He led those with mobility issues to the station elevators and when they were too tired to walk, he would direct them to a resting place while the rest of the group continued with the tour. All in all, we were able to see all the sights we wanted to visit and Kazu was a wealth of knowledge. It was a long day, but we could not have done any of this without the services of Kazu. We are very appreciative of his patience and we all had a wonderful and informative day with Kazu.

Kyoto Golden Route (Nijo Arashiyama Kinkakuji Fushimi Inari)
“Perfect Tour in Kyoto”
Hideo was very responsive prior to the tour and helping us plan a perfect day to Kyoto from Osaka Port. He arranged private transportation and built an itinerary to get us to all the places we wanted to visit. We were able to communicate well, but there were a few lost in translation moments. Hideo selected a great lunch spot!
