wonderful guide

Thanks to Akira, we were able to have a very enjoyable trip all day. He was very sincere and pleasant, and based on his extensive historical knowledge, he gave very useful explanations about many cultural heritages. This allowed my family to better understand Japanese history and culture.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I truly enjoyed our wonderful day together in Kyoto and visiting so many beautiful historical sites with you. It was a great pleasure meeting you and your family, and I’m very happy we had the chance to spend that special day together in Japan. I sincerely hope we can meet again in the future.

A great introduction to amazing Osaka

Akira met us at the cruise ship port and took us to the beautifully restored Osaka Castle. That was followed with a visit to the Hokoku Shinto Shrine. We had a delicious traditional lunch of Osaka Okonomiyaki at a restaurant in the colouful Shinsekai district. Next we visited Shinennoji, the oldest Buddhist Temple in Japan, where Akira explained the differences in beliefs between Shinto and Buddhist religions, before we returned to the ship. Akira’s knowledge of Japanese history and religion, Ninjas and Samurais was amazing. We learned so much and had a perfect day.

Thank you very much for your wonderful review. I truly enjoyed spending such a lovely day with you in Osaka and showing you some of the most charming parts of the city. It was a pleasure talking with you, and I really enjoyed our conversations. I appreciate your kindness and your way of communicating. I sincerely hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future. Thank you once again. Regards Akira

Great Communicator and Guide

We are very detail-oriented travelers with packed, carefully planned itineraries. Clear and thorough communication with our guide is essential to us, and Akira exceeded every expectation. His responses before our trip were prompt, detailed, and incredibly reassuring, giving us complete peace of mind prior to arrival. Meeting him was effortless, and his English is excellent. He is both a skilled driver and a knowledgeable guide. Akira thoughtfully suggested adjusting the order of our stops based on traffic patterns and his deep understanding of the city, which allowed us to maximize our time. His expertise made such a difference that we gladly hired him again. Highly recommended.
