Yoshi was a very fun and very informative guide. He waited patiently whenever we had to stop for pictures and gave us a very detailed history of every location we visited. Our group felt very comfortable asking any questions we had throughout the tour. Even beforehand, I asked and gave details about my ideal tour and Yoshi was ready with a plan to discuss within hours. I appreciate all the hard work and thought that went into this tour! Thank you, Yoshi, for being a wonderful guide

We had a very enjoyable and informative 3 day tour with our guide Yoshi. Yoshi took us to many places where we were able to enjoy many things Japan has to offer. Two stand out highlights were feeding turtles and a Buddhist fire ceremony. Despite the very hot humid days Yoshi was well organised, very energetic with very good english language skills. Thank you Yoshi Vic and Margaret Roberts
