“ Wonderful day in Tokyo ”

Yuki was a wonderful choice for our first trip to Japan, he was gracious and accommodating as we spent the day exploring Asakusa, Akihabara, and harbor cruise. After touring Kyoto for 3 days we needed a slower paced day. Yuki adjusted our original plan to accommodate us. It was the perfect day. Thank you .

Yuki:

Dear Lain, Thank you for writing the review of Tokyo tour. I always try to maximize my tour so that you can enjoy your time in Tokyo. The observatory is my favorite to see the best view of Tokyo with an inexpensive fee. I was happy to take you to very tasty Ramen restaurant, food is an important part of my tour. Best regards, Yuki

“ Kyoto in a day ”

Yuki was wonderful. He was well prepared, answered all my questions by email and was prompt. We had a wonderful day exploring Kyoto and visiting the top sites. I know we would not have been able to see as much if we had done it ourselves. He met us at our hotel in Tokyo, helped us get the bullet train tickets at a discount, then helped navigate us through the sites we wanted to see in Kyoto ( bamboo forest, Toriii gates, golden temple). He added the Buddha temple for us and it was wonderful. We had homemade Kyoto cuisine at a local restaurant which was just perfect for our cultural experience. He then took us back to Tokyo on the bullet train. He also gave us some background and history of the shrines and temples with illustrations on his ipad. We had an amazing time and would do it again in a heartbeat. THANK YOU YUKI!!!

Yuki:

Dear Vidya, Thank you for your review to describe such a detail of my tour. My tour is flexible to accommodate requests from my guest as much as possible. One day tour to Kyoto is always challenging for me. I’m glad to know that you satisfied with it. Best regards,Yuki

“ Perfect Day in Kamakura ”

Yuki was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable of the history and culture of Japan. He had great visuals on his iPad that he showed us throughout the day to give us more detail about the history and locations we were visiting. He lent us a bus card that we added money to so that we could get to our locations faster. This meant that we had more time to visit once we arrived. We did up taking the wrong bus on accident, but he threw in an extra tour of one of the temples to make up for it. Overall, Yuki was a very knowledgeable guide and I would highly recommend him for your tour!

Yuki:

Dear Kelli, Thank you for your excellent review of my tour. Kamakura is my favorite place with a lot of traditional places of history. I am very happy to know that you know my intentions of the tour. Best regards, Yuki.
