Very kind and proactive guide!

Michiko guided us hiking from Magome to Tsumago and sightseeing at Kiso Fukushima. She was very patient with the slow hiking members and took good care of them. She was very friendly and interacted well with everyone. She also helped us call the lunch place in advance so that everything is ready just when we arrive.

Wonderful Experience in Nagoya

MICHIKO was a very good choice for our group of 6. She was waiting for us at the cruise terminal and guided us to the Toyota Museum and Tokugawa Museum. She told us about the city, it’s history and what we could expect at the museums. We had time to enjoy the exhibits and did not feel rushed. We were all happy with MICHIKO, her knowledge and her English skills.

Dear Genevieve, Thank you so much for such an excellent review. I’m so glad to know that all of you enjoyed Toyota Museum and Tokugawa Museum last Friday. I also really had a delightful time with such wonderful people like you all. I thank you all for your consideration and kindness. Best regards, Michiko

We had an Incredible time with Michiko!

Michiko was our Guide during our time in Nagoya, and she was great providing us an overview of the history of the city and the places we visited (Nagoya Castle, Osu, etc). We also had an amazing traditional lunch with her and spoke more about Japanese life which is one of the key reasons I enjoy meeting with guides wherever I go. She was great with our kids and gave them tons of snacks for the day. As a local Nagoyan resident, she knows the city well, and even helped us get some train tickets afterwards. Highly recommended if you are in Nagoya.

Michiko N.

I’m looking forward to seeing you again next trip in Japan. Sincerely yours, Michiko

Beautiful Day in Nagoya

Michiko is an amazing guide and person. She makes sure every detail of your time is perfect. She made sure we did everything we wanted to while navigating us easily through the different train and subways. I would absolutely recommend booking Michiko for your time in the Nagoya area. She also takes amazing pictures (would share some but they are on my husbands phone). Enjoy!
