“Gerry was great — friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting facts. The castle was beautiful, the garden became our highlight, and we only wished for more time there. We loved having plenty of free time to explore on our own, and the meal was tasty with wonderful views from Mount Rokko. Gerry also took fantastic photos of us from all the perfect spots. If you have a moment, visit the tea room in the garden and enjoy a quiet cup of tea. A smooth, memorable day from start to finish.”

“Great morning activity, Nishi was a wonderful guide! Perfect for a last morning in Himeji. The Udon restaurant Nishi recommended was also wonderful!”

“Heli is very good at her job. She informs us when we are on the bus so not to waste time while at the sight to see. She is friendly and prompt. Kobashi is a good driver making me feel secure that I can sleep on the bus.”

“Excellent visit with Gerard. He was an excellent guide who made the visit alive. Highly recommend this tour.”

“We wanted to experience Sake off the beaten tourist track and our tour guide Aki delivered all that and more! We visited famous breweries, local breweries and sake museums. Aki was very knowledgeable and educated us on the different types of sake and how it was made. Wear your hiking shoes and bring an empty backpack because you are going to want to buy souvenirs.”

“amazing, friendly and fun to meet everyone that came from around the world”

“Our tour guide Yama-san was very professional, funny, kind and knows a LOT about what he is showing you. We learnt so much and the whole tour was great. We had the 4hrs Tour and it was a really nice get around Himeji. One of our Highlights on our trip! Communication for planning via E-Mail was convenient, fast and professional. Highly recommend the tour. Thank you, Yama-san!”

“This was a great experience, a private guided tour of possibly the most beautiful castle in Japan. Our English speaking guide Chiyuki was knowledgeable and kind, she knew the best spots for photographs and gave us a lot of background information on this beautiful castle. With a guide like this you do get access to information about the history, the building process etc, and things you will otherwise miss out on, so this tour made it that much more enjoyable for us. Recommended”

“The tour ddn’t feel like a “tour”. It felt like we were just dropped off at the places we wanted to see. How I wish the guides could tell us more about the history of these places. Telling the background of the places and what made it significant makes the tour interesting.”

“John was an exceptional guide who knew so much about the history of the castle and gardens. He made the tour fun and interesting. Thank you John, you’re excellent at your job!”

“We had so much fun playing pickleball with the Osaka locals in Japan. We were visiting from Hawaii and I wish I could have planned more play time. Everyone was super friendly and they keep score in English!”

“Very satisfied with the tour thanks to the great availability of the guide who accompanied us to the most characteristic places of the city.Auto-translated”

“We had a very enjoyable and informative tour of Himeji Castle and the Koko-en Gardens. Yama-San brought us to a local soba noodle house where we enjoyed a tasty lunch. We ended the tour with a fun tour of a sake brewery which included sampling some of the fine products. A terrific day in Himeji with a 5 star tour guide.”
