    Superb private tour of beautiful Sakata.

    Marie_J, Apr 2026
    We had an outstanding day touring the highlights of Sakata. Our driver—Yamaguchi—was superb. We had a very memorable day for all of us Our driver made all the difference allowing very flexible time for meeting our needs. The cherry blossoms in full bloom were so inspiring in the sunlight. We are grateful for a beautiful day!

    The sites on this tour were perfect. Easy to see on a beautiful day. The Cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Our guide did not speak English but through the use of her phone we were able establish meeting times. A schedule was set and she followed it. Very polite and made sure we know how to get around. Thank you for a great day.

    Nice driver

    We enjoyed the town and our guide was very polite. We were just surprised that our guide didn’t speak English, we would have liked to have someone teaching us about the places we were visiting.
