We really enjoyed our hike around Mt Yoshino with Yoshi. He was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. We had no trouble communicating in English with Yoshi. He even went to the trouble of taking some photos and making a google photos album for us! Highly recommended.

Yoshi was a great English speaking guide, with great local knowledge. We walked to Miyazaki falls to Takataki falls, Yoshina Mikimari Shrine and UNESCO listed Kipusenji Temple. He was bright, informative and interactive. The walk itself is moderate, but very fulfilling

Yoshifumi was a wonderful guide through the Mount Yoshino area. He was knowledgeable, considerate and a lot of fun. He went the extra mile to organise a restaurant for us, arranged transport and even gave us some local sweets to try! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wants to get an insiders guide to the culture of this beautiful area. Thank you Yoshi for making my last day in Japan ( for now) so enjoyable!
