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.
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 :-)
We spent a wonderful day with “Hero” in Sasebo. He was an excellent driver and shared with us his in depth knowledge on the places we visited. We highly recommend Hero to anyone when you have the chance!
Hi Lorretta, Thank you very much for the great comments to my guidance, I am so glad to hear that. I hope to see you somewhere some day again. Take care and have a great tour. Hero
Our day exploring Nikko with Kahoko was the highlight of our Japan trip. From the moment she picked us up in Tokyo, it was clear that we were in for a special experience. Kahoko’s meticulous planning and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our day was seamless and enjoyable. She organized everything with great care—from booking the train and arranging a special taxi to guiding us through breathtaking lakes, waterfalls, and stunning temples and shrines. Her deep knowledge of Japanese culture and history was evident as she shared fascinating stories and insights about her homeland. The day was perfectly rounded off with a beautiful lunch, which was not only delicious but also an excellent representation of local cuisine. Kahoko’s passion for her country and commitment to providing a memorable experience truly set this tour apart. If you’re looking for a personalized and enriching journey through Nikko, I can’t recommend Kahoko highly enough. She goes above and beyond to ensure an unforgettable experience.
Thank you very much for the kindest review! It was very encouraging for me and gave me another motivation for this job. Regarding our Nikko tour, I had been concerning for a week watching weather forecast. Still, thanks to an Italian lucky guy, there was no rain throughout the tour. Also, the typhoon vacancy made our tour enrich from Imperial summer villa to 200 steps to the tomb. It might have been a tough tour physically, but I enjoyed every moment with charming and promising young guys. As a mom of 3 kids, I found all of your presents' great job to produce such pleasant and splendid people. Here again, I appreciate from bottom of my heart you choosing me as a guide for your precious occasion. I just hope you safely arrive Hakone today and spend another joyful time there. I wish I will be able to see you again!
