    Great experience. Our guide-Yuki was awesome. She helped us navigate through the trains. Her knowledge of Mount Koyasan was incredible. Going through the Okunoin cemetery, through Kongobu-ji temple, Konpon-Daito, Rokkaku Kyozo was amazing.

    Yuki was an excellent guide. She was very professional, very knowledgeable, so kind and helpful. She used our time on the subway to familiarize us with Japanese history, culture, and traditions. Yuki navigated us perfectly through the intricate travel to Koyasan-such a beautiful, wonderful day, which included a fabulous vegetarian lunch!!

    We had an absolutely fantastic experience touring Koyasan. Yuki clearly knows this region well and we feel as though we walked away with an immense amount of knowledge after our day with her. Yuki’s attention to detail was apparent even before our trip began, inquiring about food allergies, specific sightseeing requests and making plans to pick us up at our hotel (which we later learned was quite a distance from her home)! Our day of experience exceeded our expectations. Yuki was so thoughtful, personable and we left her at the end of the day feeling like we've known her for ages! She definitely gave us the VIP experience. Highly recommend!

  • Great day in My Koya

    We had an amazing day trip to Koyasan with Yuki! Her extensive knowledge, expertise, and genuine love for the area made the experience truly special, and we learned so much along the way. Yuki was a delight to spend the day with—she was friendly, engaging, and always open to answering our questions, making the trip even more enjoyable.
