    Harry is an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable, funny, and a great storyteller with a real passion for Japan’s history. As a bonus, he’s also a very good photographer! I had such a wonderful time, even on a rainy day. I highly recommend this tour.

    Overall fantastic experience. The bus rides are a bit long (3, 60-90 minutes) but the views are worth it. Compared to other day trips, the lunch was amazing, if you are into seafood. (Crab legs, shrimp, fish etc)
