    Highly recommend!

    Songqi_L, Oct 2025
    Naoki san is a great guide. He's very friendly, adaptive, and helpful. We ended up touring not only inside Okayama, but also Kurashiki area. And after knowing that I wanted to check out Kibitsu shrine and Naoshima island, he spent time writing down how to go to those places very carefully after our day trip. The additional help was much appreciated!

    Thank you very much for your kind comments! It was really a big pleasure for me to show you around. I was also grateful for your interest in Okayama (where still not super popular as of today) and in other topics, including pets. I hope you had a good further trip. I will be prepared for more hidden gems in the region for your next visit! Naoki

    The Okayama Garden was so beautiful. Our tour guide, Sato, made sure that we had pictures in all the wonderful parts of the garden.

    Response from Host, Dec 2023

    It is my pleasure to have a tour with a happy family like you. I am very honored that I was able to share with you the history, culture, and charms of Okayama through the garden and castle. I especially hope that the experience of the tour will have a positive impact on your wonderful kids and will be an unforgettable family memory for them. Keep well and see you again someday. Yoshiko

    Tour of Okayama by Satosan

    aderfla, Sep 2023
    Although Okayama didn’t have very much to see and do, our guide, Satosan took really good care of us. She portrayed Okayama in a very positive way.

    Response from Host, Oct 2023

    Thank you for your review. It was very hot on the day of the tour, but thank you for walking so much. I heard that you had visited Japan several times before and there may have been little new to you this time. But you were very cooperative and kind guests. I hope you enjoyed the tour. See you again and all walk together on a cooler day next time. Sato
