“We had the privilege of having Kanako as our guide for our private tour. This was our last full day in Japan, and Kanako was truly wonderful at helping us see some final temples, buying final souvenirs, and finding delicious food. She was so kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. We are in our 70s now, so we can't walk as fast, but Kanako was so patient and helped us find taxis instead of taking the trains. It was truly the best experience and a great way to finish off our final day in Japan. I highly recommend this private tour and Kanako as a private tour guide. She is truly the…”
