Marie was amazing!!

We loved our experienced touring Kyoto with Mari. She went above and beyond and showed us tasty spots to eat lunch and dessert. She was knowledgeable about the area and all the best places for pictures!! She was flexible and open to visiting places around the city which caught our interest- Fushimi Inari was especially fun with her as our guide. Thank you for the wonderful experience

Excellent Time and Tour with Taro

Taro is the ultimate tour guide. Kind, insightful, knowledgeable and flexible, Taro made our (family of 5) tour of Tokyo simply amazing. Taro knows Tokyo inside and out, and he took us to the most amazing sights in the city. He knows all of the vintage areas as well as the major destinations and provided us with historical context as well. Vintage shopping is super cool in Japan and Taro has insider knowledge and knows where to go. He is also very flexible as we had to modify our tour due to a typhoon hitting Japan which delayed our arrival. But it was no problem for Taro, and he made the necessary adjustments. He took us to the most incredible Wagyu beef restaurant for lunch—a meal we will not forget. He is interesting to talk to and knows the music industry thoroughly. Taro responded quickly to my questions when I was initially setting up the tour and made great itinerary suggestions. Anyone looking for an insightful, fun and dynamic tour, Taro is your guy! I highly recommend him.

Taro S.

I truly appreciate your wonderful review. Unfortunately, we experienced a typhoon during your visit, but I’m so happy to hear that you still enjoyed the tour. It was a pleasure to see your interest in our culture, and I had such a great time discussing our history and traditions with you. As a tour guide, it’s an honor to be a part of your travel experience. You and your family are amazing—so kind and heartwarming. Thank you so much again. I look forward to seeing you again sometime soon!

Fabulous wine tour in Yamanashi

Chinami guided us on a very nice tour through Yamanashi, where we visited several wineries. She went far beyond what we had expected in finding good wineries, both showing small local wineries, and finding the more high end larger producers. She also had extensive knowledge of the region and gave a lot of great information along the way. Thank you for making it a sunny day even though the rain was trying to drown us at times :-)
