Top Japan Day Trips - page 3

A well-organized tour with beautiful stops at Saiko Iyashi-no-Sato Nenba, Lake Kawaguchi, Oishi Park, and Chureito Pagoda. We climbed nearly 500 steps to the pagoda at the end of the tour, but unfortunately Mount Fuji stayed hidden behind the clouds all day. Even so, the scenery was lovely, and our guide Christy was friendly and informative. We had a great time and would recommend this tour.

What a great experience on 09 June with a local tour guide. I hope I recall your name correctly, Hana San who also has work experience with Fujitsu. Being the only guest on this tour, meant I got the full attention of the team, from setting the pace, to learning a lot more about the attractions and their history in a 1 on 1 experience and to sharing some of our personal stories as well. We started with the tour of Zenkoji temple and it's surrounds which included other temples and stores that used local produce to create local delicacies. That was followed by a short walk to the sake tasting and that in itself was quite a great experience, learning about the different ways sake is made and how different levels of refinement are achieved. Next was a sumptuous lunch, a full course meal, at an upmarket and serene venue away from the city close to the snow monkeys. After lunch, we took a brisk stroll to view the monkeys, the gods smiled on us that day, offering great weather and a perfect close up of the snow monkeys, many with young offspring, presenting many perfect photo opportunities. Sadly, the day had to end but it was money very well spent and a moment that I will always cherish.

Our family enjoyed a wonderful day touring Kyoto with Maya. She contacted me in advance to discuss our itinerary, interests, ages of our kids, and meeting point. We were able to customize our schedule. Maya gave us history and tradition talks throughout the day. She included stops for snacks and breaks for the kids. At the end of the tour she suggested spots for shopping and dining, then she sent us directions to the locations. We would highly recommend Maya as your guide in Kyoto!

I had a great time on this tour with Kuroda as the guide. He provided information on the bus in Japanese and English. He was both professional and funny! There was sufficient time to explore each own on our own. Lunch was excellent. Gokayama was a hidden gem that shouldn’t be missed!

Our Guide was very well organized and knowledgeable of the aights we visited. He kept us informed and gave us the option to visit the sights on our own. The driver of the bus was also very kind and helpful. The Lunch that we had included in the tour is highly recommended to get a flavor of local cuisine.

Naoko (Noah) was wonderful! Very communicative; she gave so many options to customize the experience! She was in constant contact to ensure we met up on time and in the correct location. Showed us so many wonderful sights of the area, and even though the weather was terrible, and we had to pivot our plans a few times, we still had a great experience. Highly recommend her services!

Had a lovely experience. The guide, Mai-san was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained with fun facts about Japan, it's history and culture. Just the right amount of walking around considering we only arrived the night before and still very tired and jetlagged. Uchida-San, the driver, was great as well as he navigated through the mountain road with ease. We came the right day as there was a festival on the day so saw some of the procession. The waterfall left a lot to be desired since it's not rainy season but all in all, had a really great day.

Mihoko was a delight from the beginning, she was easy to communicate with while making our plans for the tour. She was prompt meeting us and was a wonderful guide because she was very knowledgeable about Kochi. She was accommodating when we kept changing our plans. We were a group of six people and we all give her 5 stars. Thank you Mihoko for a great day.
