Latest reviews from our guests

Gold was very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable of the history of places we visited. Prior to our arrival in Japan, she informed me about possible weather so we could be better prepared for our trip. Gold is highly commendable.

Takako-san from City Unscripted was an exceptional guide who went above and beyond to make my experience unforgettable. When the day’s conditions met some roadblocks at Kaida Kogen, she quickly found beautiful alternative routes, allowing me to enjoy walking in nature nonetheless just as I had hoped. Along the way, we shared stories about our lives, turning a simple tour into a heartfelt and memorable journey. Her warmth, flexibility, and deep knowledge of the area made all the difference!

Anna is a friendly and warm-hearted guide. She explained Nagoya Castle in & out detail and even though there were some unexpected situations along the way, we managed to solve them well. It was a short but enjoyable tour.

Takako-san was an absolutely wonderful guide! Despite unexpected roadblocks that made some pathways inaccessible, she went out of her way to find alternative scenic spots for us to enjoy the waterfalls in Kaida Kogen. She also thoughtfully planned alternative walking routes so I could still indulge in my love for hiking in nature. Along the way, we shared stories about our lives, making the experience feel less like a tour and more like a journey with an old friend. Thanks to her deep knowledge, kindness, and genuine hospitality, today is one of the most memorable highlights of my trip thus far.
