“Nara with thousands of Deers”

We had a wonderful experience with Mike as our tour guide! He was punctual, professional, and very knowledgeable about all the places he took us to. He explained the history and interesting facts about each location, making the tour both enjoyable and informative. What made the experience even better was that Mike went the extra mile by recommending additional places to visit and great spots to eat. His helpful suggestions made our trip even more memorable. Overall, we had a great time with Mike and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and friendly tour guide. Thank you, Mike, for making our trip such a wonderful experience!

Audrykho It was a real pleasure showing you and your husband around Nara, and I’m delighted that you enjoyed the tour. Meeting you both brought back many fond memories of my own visits to your country in my active days, including trips to Kuala Lumpur and Kemaman, Terengganu as well as a holiday on Tioman Island. I still remember how I spent an entire day lying on the Tioman Island beach, only to suffer such severe sunburn that I ended up groaning in bed and ruining my whole holiday !!! I also fondly remember driving along the beautiful beaches, Club Med Cherating Beach. It was also lovely to meet you both again by chance during your sightseeing the following day in Kyoto. Thank you again for your visiting us all the way. I hope our paths will cross again someday. Masahisa

“Koyasan Day trip”

We really enjoyed our time with Masahisa; he is full of energy and keeps a great pace. He has amazing planning skills and was able to fit all our tour wishes for Koyasan. He picked us up at the hotel and dropped us back off there. He provided so much history and great explanations. He even gave us an extra plan to visit Osaka on our own. Even though we had rain during our tour, we saw so many places and truly enjoyed his knowledge and company. From the very first time that I asked about the tour, he was extremely detailed and super helpful with his research. We really enjoyed Koyasan with him!

Vanessa Thank you again for visiting Japan from so far away. I truly appreciate the time and effort your family made to come all the way to Koyasan. It was unfortunate that our tour took place during the heavy rain as Typhoon No. 7 approached, and I am sorry that the weather was not ideal. Even so, I am very glad to hear that you enjoyed Koyasan and that the Goma Fire Ritual experience was meaningful for your family to some extent. I was also relieved to learn that, despite the typhoon’s impact on transportation between Osaka and Tokyo, your return flight was not affected and you were able to travel home safely. I had been worried about possible delays or cancellations, so your safe return is truly wonderful news. News of the major earthquake in your home town is still being reported here in Japan from time to time, and I feel deep concern whenever I see it. I sincerely hope that your relatives and friends are all safe. Thanks Masahisa
