Tadashi’s knowledge of the sites, Japan and many other topics that we discussed was impressive. He made us feel very comfortable and made it easy to ask questions. My wife and I spent all evening talking about the sites and information that he provided on our tour. We feel very lucky to have had Tadashi as our guide and highly recommend him!

We requested a tour of the Arashiyama area. Tadashi not only provided a seamless tour of the sites we requested, but also included a few much appreciated additions of his own. He provided informative commentary throughout and was pleasant company. We had the exposure to Arashiyama we had hoped for and a delightful day.
