Travel around Tokyo

Yoshi is an amazing guide! We learned a lot from him from taking the confusing subway to the cultural history of Japan. He also made a great recommendation where to buy the best and affordable Wagyu akd oyster. Thank you Yoshi!!!

Koya San with Hiro

Hiroyuki was a superb guide! We had already spent 2 weeks in the Kansai region, but our day with Hiro on Mt Koya was certainly one of the highlights, due to the detail of his plans and knowledge. Calm and easy to chat to, Hiro provided us with many insights into Japanese culture, beyond the fascinating insights into Kukai, esoteric Buddhism and Koya San. He patiently answered our many questions and gave us some very useful tips for our trip to Nachi the following day! We had an amazing lunch in a restaurant recommended by him and it was fascinating to learn so much about many varied topics. We will always remember this amazing experience and would highly recommend him as a guide! Thanks again, Hiro!

Excellent Trip

Miki has fluent English and Chinese. As I need a guide which can help to explain the instructions in Japanese, Miki did a great job. Before the tour, she did information collection. Although there isn’t a common spot with specific information/terms, she still can help me to understand the tour. Thanks so much.
