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!

Published on Apr, 2024

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.
