Amazing trip!

We also visited Kyoto with Mr. Masahisa and, once again, we were very impressed. Managing a group of 20 people from a cruise ship can be challenging, but he made it look easy. He tailored the itinerary perfectly to our interests and ensured everything ran smoothly. He is very professional and has a great way of explaining the local culture. We highly recommend him if you are planning a trip to Kyoto!

Andra I hope everyone returned home safely. Thank you for traveling all the way to Japan. I truly appreciated your cooperation and smooth coordination throughout the tour. I only wish I could have shown everyone the cherry blossoms in full bloom, but I hope the group still enjoyed their time in Japan. If there is anything I can assist you with in the future, please feel free to let me know. Thanks again for your hard work in taking care of the 20 guests throughout the tour. Thanks Masahisa

Amazing experience in Osaka!

We had a wonderful day in Osaka! We were a group of 20 people visiting from a cruise ship, and Mr. Masahisa managed everything perfectly. He tailored the itinerary exactly to our needs and made sure everyone was happy and comfortable. He is very knowledgeable and kind. If you're visiting Osaka, Kyoto, or Nara, we highly recommend him. Thank you, Masahisa!

Andra Thank you for all your hard work in coordinating the tour for 20 guests. For the next opportunity, how about adding to your travel lineup some tours to regions that offer a different charm from Kyoto or Osaka — places where the traditional, idyllic / untouched landscapes of Japan still remain, such as Hokkaido, the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, Kiso–Magome, or Shirakawa-go? I sincerely appreciate your choosing Kyoto and Osaka from among the many tourist destinations around the world for this trip. Thanks Masahisa

Wonderful Experience

My family and I were lucky enough to spend about 3 full days with Masahisa in Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka. On the date of our arrival in Kyoto, Masahisa picked us up at Kyoto Station, helped us store our bags in the lockers, and then showed us around Kyoto that afternoon. Afterwards, we collected our bags and headed to Nara. The following days were spent exploring Kyoto and Osaka. Masahisa came prepared - he provided us with our customized itinerary and maps of the areas we were to visit (which we carefully planned weeks and months in advance of our trip) for the few days that we were to be together. It was a pleasure having him explain the various cultural aspects of the locations we visited. He is extremely friendly and great to be around; we immensely enjoyed our time with him. You know our days were great and fulfilling when we were very sad to say goodbye. It's clear that Masahisa takes great pride in providing a wonderful and memorable experience for his guests. We cannot recommend Masahisa enough!

Ronna Thank you for visiting us from afar. I would like to express my sincere gratitude once again. Although the golf season had already passed a little, I hope the gentlemen were still able to enjoy the mountainous golf course located south of Kyoto, with its hills and valleys — quite different from Atlanta or Montreal. Also, thank you very much for the thoughtful gift of golf balls. They happen to be the ones my wife regularly uses, and she was delighted. Japan still has many more places I would love for you to see, such as Sōunkyō in Hokkaido—which has a Yellowstone-like atmosphere despite having no geysers—and the Kurobe Alpine Route, among many others. I truly hope you will visit us again. Thanks Masahisa
