Fantastic Tour with Kumi! <3

Published on Apr, 2024

Kumi was a fantastic tour guide! I absolutely adored her and her local knowledge about Nagoya. I wasn't sure what to expect from our first stop in Japan but she made it so memorable and taught us so much about Japanese culture that we were able to use on the rest of our trip. I completely recommend this tour to anyone interested in Nagoya or Japanese culture at all!

Nagoya highlights!

Anna was so friendly and was such a great host for our first time in Nagoya. She took us to a lovely Japanese garden and to Osu shopping street. She was great about telling us about all the great food Nagoya has to offer. I would definitely reccomend her if you want to have a great photographer and guide.

Amazing day in Nagoya with a local guide

Published on Apr, 2024

Anna Uchico our local guide provided us an IT tailored to our group’s interest and time. We had a wonderful day exploring Nagoya and ended it with a super yummy kaiseki lunch and shopping for Japan goods per our request.

Great day in Nagoya

Tk presented a wonderful experience! She picked us up at the port and dropped us off there in due cruise time. She freely shared her love of her country and nature with us. We learned so much from her-- and we hope we imparted some tidbits of knowledge as well. If you take this tour, ask for Tatako or TK. You will not be disappointed.

TK was wonderful. Thank you for sharing her with us. She took us to the Shrine, shopping and to eat. She is well informed and speaks very good English.
