Amazing Experience.  Highlight of our 12- day Japan trip.  I absolutely recommend touring with Takashi.  We toured with Takashi for two days and I must say that these were the best tours that we encountered on our trip.  He took into account my boyfriend’s hip surgery and tried to shorten the walking time by getting us a rickshaw on the longer tour of Arashiyama.   We did so much in two days thanks to him.  

 

Takashi picked us up at our hotel in Osaka and then we toured Osaka and then off to Nara and then Kyoto.  Takashi took us to the Monkey Park then off to the Bamboo Forest (where we rode the rickshaws).  The hidden temples were the best, so peaceful and lacking the crowd, so you could go right in and have matcha tea sitting on the floor of the temple.  

 

The tour far exceeded all our expectations and with Takashi’s expertise we were able to see so much more than we thought we would be able to.  Our trip of a lifetime was made so much better having Takashi as a guide.  He was patient, kind, very articulate and flexible so that we could pick and choose what we wanted to do and he made suggestions on what we might like to see.  We want to go back to Japan in a few years and will be contacting Takashi to take us around longer than a couple of days.  If you want to have fun with tour guide and learn more about the culture, Takashi is your guide.
