Reviews
“Beyond all expectation! Shu is super friendly, knowledge and just feel really good to hang out with ”
This is not my first trip to Japan and I’m traveling solo. I really want to visit a place in Nara that is only accessible by car. I booked Shu for a personalized tour without thinking too much. I have to say Shu had exceed all my expectations! He is really friendly and flexible. We met at Nara station and he drove me to the highland near Nara. I felt really easy around him. We talked about Japanese culture, his travel experiences and my travel experiences. He really feels like a friend that I’ve known for a long time. He helped me to take photos when we got there and hiked with me to the mountain. He is a good photographer. He also helped me to book a restaurant that I really want to visit. I would highly recommend Shu to any traveler, just because he is very personable and flexible. The experience made me felt like home hanging out with a good friend! I will definitely book Shu again for my future travels!

Hello! My name is Natsuko. Thank you for visiting my page. I used to work for a trading company, which gave me the opportunity to use English with overseas business partners. After leaving the company, I became an English teacher for children and I discovered that I really enjoy spending time with kids. I also had the experience of being a host family for international students, and it was so fulfilling to show them around various tourist spots and see them happy. I hope you can have a wonderful experience in Japan too! Would you like to join one of my fun tours? I look forward to seeing you again!

Fuji, bamboo forest, Japanese gardens etc.. Moreover, you can taste Japanese cuisine that each season has to offer (Sushi, Tempura, Soba or ramen noodle etc.). You can get close to nature and feed wild deer or monkeys or even a build snowman in winter. I’m sure that I can provide a splendid tour of Japan that will be a lasting memory for you to treasure.
