5.00My driver, Hiroshi, was wonderful - so professional, kind and gave me a lot of information about the area. When parting ways he also gave me a handful of sweets! The tour company itself was also brilliant- responsive and professional. Highly recommend!

4.00The driver was there when we arrived by train at the Oboke station. He definitely knew his way around the Iya valley and took us to all of the stops I had requested plus more to fill up our time. You definitely need a local driver to visit the valley.
