    Toshiyuki Terada was an absolutely outstanding tour guide. He and the team did a lot of work to make our trip to Nara special and memorable. He left us a personalized message to our hotel to start our trip, and also got us a photo at the end of the trip. He is super knowledgeable, approachable, and overall really cares about giving a great tour and experience. We got to see the highlights of Nara both from the tourist angle, but he also took us to many places off the beaten path that were more local. Our experience with him has been the highlight of our visit to Osaka. We cannot recommend him enough especially for world travelers as he really knows a lot about the world as well. He is truly passionate about what he does, and we spent hours just talking about travel, architecture, food, education, and many other topics. If able to travel to the area again, we would love to tour with him again. Definitely ask for him if you tour in this area as he will make sure to give you a wonderful experience. Thank you again so much!
