We booked Toru for a full day tour of Hakone and I am so glad we did. With his military and logistics background he will get you to the destination efficiently and on time. With his guidance we are positive we saved hours of time, which led to us having a more enjoyable trip. Toru is full of wonderful historical facts and interesting pieces of information. He is a true professional who gets our highest recommendation.
Thanks Koki for a great day
If you are looking for a great day trip outside Tokyo, Yoshi curated a terrific one day itinerary. Not only did we see three temples and a shrine, we experienced drinking matcha in a bamboo forest, learned about Shinto and Buddhism, strolled through gorgeous gardens, and were educated us on how to eat cold soba noodles with tempura properly. He also helped us navigate the subway and bus system with multiple transfers, which we would have had difficulty with otherwise. We saw and did and learned so much more than we could have on our own. We could not recommend Yoshi more highly!
Our group of 6 had a wonderful time with TOMOE. We started from our meeting place at Osaka Port and used taxis and Shinkansen train to get to Kyoto. From there we visited Nijo-Jo Castle, Kiyomizodera Temple and Fishimi Inari Shrine. Tomoe is so knowledgable and her attention to details impressed us immensely. She was so kind to stay with us until we got on the train back to Osaka and wrote a note for the taxi driver to get us back to the cruise ship. With Tomoe as our guide, she made it an exceptional experience.
Dear Marie, Thank you so much for your warmhearted review! Yes! It was still a hot day, but I enjoyed the day with you, such nice people. I wish we had more time to spend with. Kyoto has more places to visit, so, I hope that you will come back to Kyoto and I can see you again. Thank you for booking me as your guide. TOMOE
