    Great history and culture

    Wonderful way to explore the history of Aizu-Wakamatsu! Our guide No uso was so helpful. She communicated with us weeks before our trout to make sure we had the itinerary best suited for us. We learned so much about the history of the area and so many fascinating stories.

    My Amazing trip

    The cemetery of samurais was the best experience to see how can people follow the honor, the samurais house was interesting, the design for castle showing how can make a secure defense and the hexagonal temple is the best design that I never saw before. The guide is very polite and explained everything about the history for each location with perfect English language

    Thank you very much for very kind review. It is a great pleasure for me to know in detail how you enjoyed history and culture of Aizu. I am also very grateful for the conversation we had and the wonderful souvenirs you gave me. I hope to show you around another area when you come to Japan again. Nobuko

    Amazing guide Nobuko made my day special

    Narelle_B, Nov 2023
    My guide Nobuko is a wonderful asset to your company. She went to a lot of trouble to tell all sorts of history and detail that I’d never known had I just visited the sites myself. She was kind, intelligent and thoughtful and made sure I had a day to remember. She went over and above too making sure I was safely back to my hotel. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. I was interested in other sights and places that I asked about too, and again told me lots of info. If only your company added some additional tours that Nobuko could lead I would have happily spent even more time at Auzi-Wakamatsu - eg, it’d be great to do a tour visiting places like cotton processing, craft and lacquerware classes etc. another would a guided visit to the Samurai school and it’s activities. Having a person who helps bridge the language gap and is patient and clearly loves her area, would be a definite advantage for guided private tours.
