Ryoji Shimada, Yoshida Takehara, Jun Tanida, Yoshiko Yoshida, and our guide for the bar hopping were all exceptionally knowledgeable, cheerful, and accomodating. I always felt secure and comfortable and could not ask for more. The itinerary exceeded my expectations and I truly thank you for the cultural variety show in Gion. Happy to have experienced the subway, bus, trains, and of course the Shinkansen. The choice of hotels allowed us to do our own explorations of Shibuya and Kyoto. Enjoyed the shopping and foods. I highly recommend booking travel through you. Thank you for making my first visit to Japan memorable. Arigato gozaimasu. Mahalo and Aloha.
