Kanata Ide
Hi, I'm Kanata Ide, and I am a Japanese American who has relocated to Japan. I currently live in Kyoto and I have been off the beaten path all around Japan. I hope to share the knowledge I have gained, through travelling through this country, and create experiences for people that they will never forget. I love the food here and some of my favorites are okonomiyaki and miso ramen. One of my most memorable experiences is grilling and enjoying fresh seafood with locals on the beach of a small island off the coast of Hiroshima. I am very excited to share what makes Japan such a special country to visit and my goal is to make your dream Japan trip a reality.

Hello Ann,
Thank you for taking the time to provide some feedback. We are delighted to hear that everyone had an enjoyable time on the tour.
We certainly understand that the request and confirmation process may have taken longer than expected. We are currently seeing delays in response times from the small family-run inns we work with due to the unprecedented amount of demand for travel in Japan at this time. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
If you do ever wish to visit again we would be more than happy to welcome you back and create a new itinerary!
Kind regards,
Kanata

We had a great trip. Our three guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and overall just excellent. Each gave us insight into today’s Japan as well as the historic sites they led us to.
The Oku Travel written guides and maps were informative and clear, and we had no trouble using the train tickets and IC cards provided to us. We really liked the quality and variety of lodgings, dinners and breakfasts in Koyasan and in the Nakasendo post towns.
Thank you for taking the time to submit a review and upload these photos. Our team here in Kyoto is very happy to hear that you had a great experience and we will be sure to share your kind words with your guides as well.
