Wakayama Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“The finest of Travel Guides.”

NoNo is absolutely amazing. Her knowledge is deep and delivered in a fun manner. She was highly adaptable to our needs and very considerate. We sat down for lunch and I asked NoNo to go through the history of the Samurai, Shogun and the Emperor - out came a chart, wow, I could place Henry V111 in and Queen Victoria where certain events were, we loved her. Thank you NoNo, you made this day highly memorable and we appreciate you even more for that. Go well our friend.

Dear Mary-san and Jo-san, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind message! It was truly an honor to spend the day with both of you. Your generosity, warmth, and curiosity made guiding such a joy, and I felt very fortunate to share the experience with you. I deeply appreciated your openness and enthusiasm throughout our time together. Moments like these—when I can connect with such thoughtful and wonderful people—are what make my work so rewarding. It was an absolute pleasure, and I will always cherish the memories of our day together. I hope our paths cross again someday! With heartfelt gratitude, NoNo

I was very happy to see you again. We vsited Kumano Sanzan again. On the tour day it was so clear that we could see the Nachi Waterfall flowing vigorously. I wish you all the best in the future. I hope to see you again next time.

“Wakayama Tour - Castle and Meet the Cat Stationmasters”

We had an amazing time on our Wakayama tour with Shuji! We told him what we wanted to see, and our dietary needs, and Shuji came up with the perfect itinerary for our day including a stop for lunch where we enjoyed excellent food suited to our requests. He is very kind and knowledgeable of the places we visited. He went above and beyond to make good use of our time and to make us as comfortable as possible, considering the very hot weather we experienced. What really brought us to Wakayama was to see the cat stationmasters and ride the Tama trains of the Wakayama Electric Railway’s Kishigawa Line. We had a wonderful time visiting, seeing the cats, and riding the different themed trains. Thank you Shuji for an unforgettable experience, and for the great photos we have to remember that very special day!

Thank you so much for your amazing review! I usually like dogs, but I had fun at the cat stationmaster Tama's amazing stations and railways. It was an unforgettable experience for me too. I felt as if I were in a fairy tale. Thank you very much for such a wonderful tour!
