Our first tour of this kind, and what a success! Our guide, Hugo, was amazing! Not only knowledgeable, but also funny, caring, and able to "read the group" in a matter of minutes. Our tour was equally eye-opening, fun and a tiny bit scary - perfect 😁 Thanks for a fantastic tour, Hugo, and thanks for showing us the Osaka nightlife and bar FM 😉

Our wasabi experience with David in Kawai was amazing! David was so knowledgeable, not only about wasabi but Japanese culture, places to visit, farming in Japan and more. We loved every minute and really appreciate the additional tour of Okutama and Shittake mushrooms he took us on! I would recommend this to everyone (whether you like hot food or not!)

My wife and I loved this experience, with the great help of our lovely host Kumi we learnt all about the process and hard work that goes into making Sake and tasted some their products which were delicious! After this we were treated to some traditional noodles at a restaurant nearby. Highly recommended!! Thanks Kumi!!!

Naoto was a great guide. My friend and I ended up being the only ones on the tour so it was like we had our own private tour guide. Naoto took us to eat sushi, wagu beef, takoyaki, karaage, and dorayaki. Although the food was good, I was hoping that we got to eat something different that would introduce us to a new Japanese dish/food. One of the restaurants that we went to, Gyu-Kaku, is a chain that we also have in America, which I’ve been to before so I was hoping to eat at a restaurant that I haven’t been to that was unique to Japan. This is why I gave this tour a 4 stars and not 5 stars.

Jorge speaks 4 major languages and knows the backstreets of Kanazawa. Amiable, entertaining, and flexible. Will adapt to customers’ needs. He has very interesting and thorough information. Suggestions: carry a flashlight and be able to walk a lot. Food was a different preparation and good example of Japanese cuisine.
