About Tour Guide Katsu N.

“Extremely Friendly and Thoughtful”

Katsuhisa kept in regular contact with us leading up to the tour and allowed us to customize the tour to include the Miyajidake Shrine. When the forecast called for rain in the morning, Katsu rearranged the order of the tour so that we weren't too affected, and we even made it back to catch the sunset on the Path of Light. Beppu was very interesting and we enjoyed our lunch cooked by the onsen stream. His car is new and comfortable. We would highly recommend Katsu as your tour guide.

Dear Scott and Fanta, /// Thank you very much for joining the tour and for your kind review. /// I was very happy that we were able to adjust the itinerary together in advance and include Miyajidake Shrine in your visit. I’m also glad that you were able to see the sunset on the “Path of Light.” By rearranging the order of the tour based on the weather forecast, we were fortunate to visit at a good time. /// I’m pleased to hear that you enjoyed Beppu’s Jigoku hot springs and the lunch cooked with the natural onsen steam. /// If you visit Japan again, I would be delighted to guide you to other parts of Kyushu as well. I hope to see you again in the future. /// Thank you again for traveling with me. /// Katsuhisa

“7-Day tour from kyoto to fukuoka”

To keep it short and simple, it was an amazing journey with Katsu, he was able to accommodate and tried his best to adjust to our family's complicated plannings. 4 members and some days 2 additional joined in to meet up at a certain location. Not an easy task in my opinion. It started 2months before the tour, we have been discussing on the itinery, letting him know the places we would like to visit. As we plan, afew sites are closed, where he personally went down to check on alternatives recommendations (sagano train ride replace with takachiho train ride, accommodate our last minute shoppings locations during the tour to try let us get what each individual wanted, there are many small details to be written) afterall, we sense his fatigue due to long hours and his constant follow ups with alternatives choices for lunch/dinner. For me, i dont mind about what other reviews about katsu's difficulties in english barrier, it was ok for me, we all have our personal setbacks where nobody is perfect, i use google translate at times if he couldnt answer our questions. Rest assured he will try his best to answer you and to give you a great experience for your stay in japan. It was really heart-warming to have him with us for our family's reunion dinner at a crab restaurant, we treated him like our family, as he did to us during this journey. Thank you readers for your time, and thank you mr katsu for your efforts! We had a great experience and will be planning another trip over again :)

“Professional and Caring ”

Katsuhisa was extremely professional and communicative throughout our trip. He kept us updated on weather conditions and checked in about preferences before our journey began. Despite our very ambitious itinerary - which includes about 6 hours of driving in a single day - Katsuhisa fulfilled all of our requests with a positive attitude and no complaints. We were also traveling with our 2-year-old, and Katsuhisa took extra care to ensure our little one was comfortable and happy. At the end of our trip, Katsuhisa even surprised us by buying a thoughtful adorable gift for our child. We truly appreciate how Katsuhisa made our trip extra special. Joining his tour was definitely the highlight of our time in Japan.

Thank you very much for your warm and kind review. I am truly grateful for your thoughtful words, and I am delighted to hear that you were satisfied with the tour.///Under Japanese road traffic regulations, child seats are required in private vehicles and rental cars, so I am glad that having one prepared was helpful during your trip.///I was also pleased to hear that your child was able to enjoy the tour comfortably. Traveling with a young child can involve many considerations, but I am happy that your family was able to enjoy the journey together in a relaxed and pleasant manner. I also have a family member who works as a childcare professional, and I benefit greatly from their advice in situations like these.///Kyushu Island still has many wonderful places to explore, and I would be very happy to welcome you again in the future.///Warm regards,///Katsuhisa
