Yuta surpassed all...

Yuta surpassed all expectations. He was our first tour guide in Japan and 10 days later, he is still the best tour guide we have had here. We had a great drive and a lovely day at Shirakawago.

Fabulous experience traveling from Kanazawa to Takayama

Yuta was wonderful. Helpful, pleasant, excellent English, flexible-- everything you would want and more in a driver (and he also acted as a guide-- so totally exceeded expectations).
