“Fabulous tour of Matsue and Adachi Museum of Art”
Ken arrived early to meet us at the port and expertly guided our group of 7 around Matsue and the Adachi Museum of Art. He took us on a fun boat tour and then to the castle. We had lunch at a very authentic, local soba noodle restaurant and then went to Adachi to see the beautiful gardens. We enjoyed chatting with Ken along the way -- he spent a year in the UK at one point so we had no trouble communicating in English with him. He was able to make small adjustments to our itinerary to accommodate the older, less mobile members of our group. We were so glad to meet Ken and would highly recommend him as a tour guide.

“Great itinerary ”
My wife and i setup the itinerary months before we arrived. By the time we visited Sakaiminato, we had seen so many castles, shrines and gadens. As it was our change, we had no issue with a shorter tour. Ken's creative mind went into gear and came up with alternative places to go and see. Kens tour was great. Thank-you ken for making the day very special. .../George and Susan

(4 reviews)Hi,George and Susan. I had no idea that you had seen almost all Japanese things like castles, shrines and fish markets before arriving at Sakaiminato! I was very happy that you said you enjoyed my tour. I also enjoyed guiding you because you two were so kind to me all the day. Thank you a lot. Ken
