Hiroko was very nice! I had a wonderful experience. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire trip engaging from start to finish. Her stories and local insights brought each place to life, and she always patient when answering questions or helping with photos. The tour was well-organized, relaxed, and full of memorable moments. I highly recommend this guide to anyone looking for a fun and informative experience.

We really enjoyed our tour with Hiroko, she did her best to make the tour fun, educating and and entertaining! She was really kind and helpful! The only thing we regret a bit is that our stops were a bit short, we wish we could spend more time exploring shrines and temples!
