5.00Excellent services, Mr. Akihito Yabuuchi drove a very comfortable A/C with his assistance, Ms. Chen (provided excellent language service, very helpful for us) accompanied our family (5 senior adults) for this guided tour. They took care of us in very details, very flexible for our needs, and made very good tour arrangements, so we can visit and see what we wanted. They are also very knowledgeable, and were able to answer our questions during the tour. We indeed very enjoyed the tour, and most importantly they are able to conclude the tour in an efficient way, and took us back to the cruise port at exactly the promised returning time. Overall we were very happy about this tour, and will definitely sign up for their tour service when we come back to visit this area, as Yabuuchi San conducted many tour services in the area, ranges from Koyto, Osaka, Kobe, Himeji , and nearby attraction scenery sites. Thanks again for their very professional tour service!

5.00Aki is great. He is very knowledgeable about Japanese history and a good teacher. He is also most passionate about sharing his love for Japanese culture with visitors. His English is excellent too. We had a wonderful day with him visiting Himeiji Castle and would recommend this trip to others.
