Top Japan Day Trips - page 97

This trip was absolutely exceptional. Hiroshima memorial is a must see of course. But adding the island trip to the tour we truly balancing. Do not miss the two for one experience. We stayed in Hiroshima for two nights. But we also saw people who came in by the bullet train in the morning and left in the evening.

Peru was a great guide who gave us great information in the bus as we were driving to the Nikko shrine . He answered every question I had, and was very knowledgeable. Once we got to the shrine, Peru also gave us some more information and then we had plenty of time on our own. We did go to the waterfall and the lake, but unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate those two places. But it was a wonderful day overall. My only negative comment would be to make sure NOT to purchase the lunch that was optional to buy. The food there was not good at all. Plus, there were other places to get food in the time span that we had.

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.

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!

This was our favorite day in our two week trip to Japan! It was amazing to see the more rural side of Japan. The spots on the tour offer wonderful views of Mt Fuji. We couldn’t see much of the mountain but it still was a wonderful day! We did the lunch option with a hot pot and it was a fun experience. Our tour guide Eric was great! He offered good tips and was a fun tour guide.

Excellent tour to see the most important attractions of Kyoto in just one day. Modern and Confortable buses. Great guide, who spoke excellent english and japanese (aussie guy living many year in Japan). No waste of time visiting stores in this tour like many tours around the world. Highly recommend it. I will travel with the same company my next time in Japan.

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!

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.
