Ichihiro and our tour to Kobe

Ichihiro was an incredible guide. He made the train rides so fun. He took us to Kobe, Japan. We went to the herb garden on the mountain. Then to a wonderful lunch, and then for some shopping. Then safely back to the ship. It was fantastic. We enjoyed it so much.

Amazing Kobe walking tour.

Ichi-san was amazing! He knew so much about the Kobe and Osaka. He also was very flexible because my parents didn’t speak English so he took his time and allow me to translate. My parents had an amazing time. It was a seamless experience. I would highly recommended!! The walking and train was not as bad as I thought due to my dad’s age but he could keep up. Also highly recommend the Kobe beef lunch worth every penny!

Exceptional day seeing the sights

Kaori was the best guide! She is so nice, knowledgeable and took us to wonderful places. We were picked up at the Osaka port and she took us by trains (including bullet train) to Kyoto where we were greeted by our driver/van. The rickshaw ride thru the bamboo forest was unbelievable as was the Golden Triangle. Having lunch at a conveyor belt sushi place was so unique and special. Saw fun things in the afternoon as well and made it back to port in plenty of time. I would highly recommend this company and in particular Kaori.

Incredible day in Kobe

I had the pleasure of exploring Kobe with Kaori and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we met, she was incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the beauty of Kobe and Japan. One of the highlights was, of course, the food! We enjoyed one of the best meals of our lives - Kobe beef. If you’re visiting Kobe and want a top-notch tour experience, I highly recommend booking with Kaori. Thank you for an incredible day in Kobe!

A wonderful day in Kobe

We had a wonderful day touring Kobe with our guide, Kaori. She took us through a walking tour of the city and the port area, then after a delicious lunch, to the hills via cable car. Her local knowledge of the city was insightful and made it a memorable day for us. Ohkini, Kaori
