Thank you for your having sent me such a nice review for my tour. I really appreciate your kindness and great cooperation with me during the tour. I presume you enjoyed Pork Cutlet and Japanese sake at Harushima Sake Brewery in Nara. I hope you will come to Japan again in the near future to learn more about our country.
Thank you again,
Kazuo Sumi

事業者からの返答
Thank you for a lot of compliments. I really enjoyed traveling with you even though it was a very hot day. And thanks to your cooperation, we could finish all schedule very smoothly. My only regret is that I couldn't drop by Uji. I wanted you to stop by Uji because it’s very beautiful place. But this Nara tour was a truly special and memorable experience for me too.
I guess you and your family enjoyed Japan tour. I really want to listen to impressions about other tour destinations in Japan. Thank you again!

book it. you won't regret it
The tour was exceptional. The sites that we visited far surpassed what we saw in Kyoto, allowing us to see more beauty and historical sites in one day than we did our entire two week trip in Japan. More so, however, was that the guide was far more knowledgeable than any other we encountered. Junichi had deep knowledge about the history, culture, and religion of the whole of Japan and Nara, as well as exacting understanding of each site in particular. He tailored the tour and the information provided specifically to our interests. If you are visiting Kyoto or Osaka, this tour should be on the very top of your list. It far surpassed anything and everything in those cities. If hesitating, just book it now

Thank you for the awesome review! Yes, Nara is a unique place where, with a very good guide, you can have a basic and overall understanding of Japanese history, culture and religions just in a day while playing with the deer, though more than 1 day is far better than just one. Please come back to cover what we had to skip due to the limited time frame.

Full day guided tour at Nara
We enjoyed a full day at Nara guided by Noriko who started by collecting us at Kyoto station. Nice introductions and we liked the conversations. Throughout the day Noriko provided excellent information and we were able to beat the crowds by using some alternative routing. She helped us to introduce to the owner of a local Calligraphy store which was highly appreciated.
We can strongly recommend booking the tour with Noriko and it was a pleasure spending the day in Nara.

Interesting day with very good guide
Interesting and busy day. Our English-speaking guide Tatsuya Ito was very pedagogical and extremely kind to us. We walked back to the station by local bus to the major points of interest of Nara. Kyoto Nara round trip was made by train from Kyoto (prefer express trains if schedules are suitable for a small fee).
事業者からの返答
Merci pour votre avis positif.
Nara est une ville ancienne et magnifique. J'ai été ravi de vous guider toute la journée.
Vous vous intéressez à la culture et à l'histoire japonaises, j'ai donc pu vous expliquer beaucoup de choses.
Merci beaucoup.
Prenez soin de vous.

Awesome Nara daily trip experience with JGA guide
We had a wonderful full-day tour from Kyoto to Nara with our guide, Ichiro-san. From start to finish, he was kind, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. He explained everything in great detail and made the entire experience smooth and engaging.
Ichiro-san took care of all the logistics, including train connections and a quick taxi to save time, which made the day stress-free. We also enjoyed a fantastic lunch with delicious local specialties — one of the highlights of the day!
Overall, it was a perfect mix of culture, history, and nature, made even better by Ichiro’s warm personality and deep knowledge. Highly recommended!

Fun day in Nara
We saw everything we wanted to see on our tour and the guide was good even though he was a little on the quiet side. He was very timely and flexible when we wanted to drop one of the previously requested sites and add a saki tasting. He expertly led us through the train stations and the bus stops to get to our destination. We all enjoyed our visit to Nara.

Best destination and the best guide of Japan Mr Junichi
An unbelievable experience at a destination unmatched all over the world.
I must say we were lucky to have the guide Mr Junichi who was wonderful. Super friendly, cult and fun, he taught us a lot about Japanese culture and about Nara, his hometown. We couldn't have had a better guide!
事業者からの返答
Thank you so much for your awesome review! If I am the best guide as you wrote, it is all because of you. You asked me lots and lots of questions, which made it easier for me to decide what topics to talk about. Because Nara is the unique place where everything Japanese started, there are too many topics on history and religions etc. that are worth talking about. We covered just a tiny part of Nara. Please come back to Nara hopefully in the near future!
