Tochigi Private Tour - This photo was taken in 2012 after the big earthquake.  Our TOTAK members were asked to guide the individual overseas visitors handled by the biggest inbound operator.  I am on the right hand side.

Tochigi Private Tour - This is a typical Ryokan (Japanese Inn) dinner.  My wife and I have never tried anglerfish cuisine before, so we decided to go to Ooarai in Ibaraki prefecture which is located next to Tochigi prefecture.  We ordered separate dishes such as "liver of anglerfish" and deep fried.  Deep fried goes well with beer and liver is really matched with dry sake.

About Tour Guide Jack M.

Hi there!! I am an English speaking tour guide based in Utsunomiya city near Nikko. Since I came back from Auckland, New Zealand I started my own business as an English Speaking Guide. I have been a guide for 6 years. My favorite things to do these days are 1. visit historical places in Tochigi prefecture, 2. find nice restaurants and bars in Utsunomiya 3. wear hats while I am working outside.

Important

If you want to enjoy Nikko, please think about staying Nikko or Utsunomiya, I will take you around the night tour if you stay in Utsunomiya.

Great time with Jack

Jack guided my clients through the history and temples of Nikko. Thanks to him, they were able to visit places that would have been difficult to explore on their own. They truly enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Japan. Thank you, Jack, for helping them create such a wonderful memory of Japan. He is a highly recommended guide!

Hi Aiko, I'm sorry not to respond sooner. I was swamped due to the cherry blossom season. And I was in the hospital to check up on my health. Your clients were very nice people. The only thing I didn't enjoy was that they didn't eat lunch. They asked me to skip lunch both days. We had a Macha break, though. They didn't have any coffee and tea, but they love Macha and Sencha. It was challenging to find one of those places in Nikko and Mashiko. Thank you very much for your comment. Jack

Jack knows Nikko!

We thoroughly enjoyed our escape from Tokyo to beautiful Nikko! Jack was very hospitable, knowledgeable and able to navigate very busy nature sites to maximize our time. The tour was a nice mix of nature and history with cultural discussions mixed in.
