Outstanding Tour!!

07/06/2026

My family and I, 8 of us, had the most enjoyable tour arranged by Hiroshi Yamamoto! He took us to the places we would have never seen on a ship arranged tour. The topper was the restaurant he took us to for lunch. We would absolutely hire Hiroshi again if we go to Japan for another visit.

Hiroshi was a great guide with knowledge of the area. He spoke great English and helped us to see historical sites as well as experience authentic Japanese food that was outstanding.

Hiroshi assembled the best places to see, shop, and most importantly eat!

His knowledge of the area and subjects of conversation were excellent. Hope to see him again on my next visit.

A Special Geisha Experience

13/05/2026

I had a fantastic time in Kochi. The highlight was seeing a traditional geisha performance at HAMACHO. We also played the Beku Cup drinking game, which was very fun and unique. Even though I don’t speak Japanese, my guide helped me enjoy everything. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Vegetarian Sushi in Kochi

15/04/2026

I had a wonderful time in Kochi. As a vegetarian, I was happy to try traditional sushi made with vegetables and konnyaku instead of fish. I also enjoyed riding the tram and visiting Kochi Castle, where the view from the top was amazing. It was a trip I will always remember.

Hiroshima Carp Baseball Experience

04/11/2025

This was one of the best trips I’ve ever had. Our private guide took us to a Hiroshima Carp baseball game, and it became a very special memory. It was an experience we could never have had on a regular tour.
