5.00My husband and I very much enjoyed this tour with Haru our tour guide. He met us on time at our hotel and guided us to the four sites that we had pre-arranged with him to see. His knowledge of Japanese history and culture is excellent and he came prepared with additional visual guides to show us as he carefully explained the significance of each site. My husband and I would highly recommend this tour and Haru.

5.00Even before we began our tour we knew it would be an amazing tour. Our tour guide was in contact with us shortly after our booking to prepare an itinerary designed to our taste. Sachiko our tour guide was waiting for us as we disembarked our ship. She was very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and the culture and history of Japan. She is an excellent photographer and knows all the best photo sites. We stopped for lunch and she chose a restaraunt that was perfect for us. Some of the best teriyaki we tasted in Japan. Our itinerary was varied with tall buildings with breathtaking vistas and architecture to temples and last but not least Dontonbori. Dontonbori is very crowded and can be intimidating but Sachiko seamlessly walked amongst the crowds pointing out the amazing sites and took some fabulous photos. We would have never attempted this on our own. It is obvious Sachiko has a strong love for her country and that she loves sharing her knowledge. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a special memorable day. Thank you Sachiko. R & R
