Our tour guide Yama was simply fantastic - knowledgeable, friendly, and provided impeccable service. Many weeks before our tour, Yama reached out to help us plan and customize our itinerary with him. He was easy to find at our agreed upon meeting location and seamlessly coordinated our transportation around Kobe. We had wonderful visits to Mt Rokko via the cable car, Nunobiki Herb Gardens (Shin-Kobe, using the ropeway), Kitano Ijinkan Street, and the Sannomiya area. At the end of the tour, we felt as if we were saying goodbye to a dear friend. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

I appreciate very much your most kind and considerate comment. I am very much glad to know you have enjoyed the tour with me, particularly, I am very happy that you like Kobe, my home city. I have also had a very nice and happy time with you two. "551 Buta-man" or steamed buns at Nankin-machi China town was good, right! I do hope I can see you again sometime.

Fantastic Kobe private tour
This tour had to be the highlight of our Japan trip 👌 our guide Yama was absolutely amazing he was very organised and contacted me to arrange the itinerary which was perfect - thank you Yama🙏
We were met at Shin - Kobe station by him and taken out to met our driver who we named the
“Emperor” beautiful man and luxurious van he kept us safe and to time on the road. I also got swooped by a Sea Eagle at the famous bridge lookout it gave me a deep scratch. The emperor so kindly got me antiseptic wash and a band aid as it was bleeding so be careful if you have food. I highly recommend the cable car to the herb garden great view and very pretty. Everything we covered was perfect.
I loved how Yama gave us information of things we saw. The sake museum he explained so much too. We had the best of tour & driver on the day - thank you for your friendship and you both are truely the best 💛

I appreciate your most kind and considerate comment. I am very much glad to know you have enjoyed the tour with me. I have also enjoyed the tour with you all. Yes, Emperor was really a good and polite driver! BTW, how is your thumb now? Of course, that was not a good memory, but I am sure it will be a very special memory on Awaji Island. I do hope I can see you again, maybe, together with Emperor. Ha ha ha!

Wonderful Day and Lunch in Kobe
We had a great time with Mesa in Kobe. He met us right at the cruise terminal and made the entire day easy and enjoyable from the start.
One of the highlights was the visit to the Herb Garden. The setting is beautiful, set up in the hills with sweeping views over Kobe and the harbor. The gardens are thoughtfully laid out, with a wide variety of herbs, flowers, and seasonal plantings. Walking through the different sections felt calm and immersive, and the cable car ride up added to the experience with incredible views along the way.
Mesa also took us through the Kobe area and then to an outstanding lunch. The Kobe teppanyaki experience was exceptional, both in quality and presentation, and clearly something he had carefully selected.
Mesa was organized, personable, and clearly knew how to pace the day. We never felt rushed, and everything flowed naturally. A very well planned and enjoyable tour. Highly recommended.

Kobe walking tour experience
Having a private tour guide is quite convenient for us matured folks. It gave us more leeway to space out our itinerary. Harumi was gentle, polite, and very instructive in showing us the places we booked for the tour. We had fun in the Ropeway experience. She was also very knowlegeable with the history of the Sake Brewery, the Shrine and was kind enough to show us where to get the free shuttle bus in Chinatown that will take us back to our cruise ship, Ovations of the Seas docked in Kobe port terminal.

Thank you for your kind comments. At Hakutsuru Sake Brewery, you listened to my explanation, and on the way back from Ikuta Shrine, we enjoyed ramen at Ippudo and had many interesting conversations, from which I learned a lot of things. Your kind comments encourage me to continue working hard. Please come to Japan again.
Thank you very much for your warm words.

Great Tour!
Our tour guide Harumi was absolutely fabulous. We went to many places as we could in our 6 hour private tour. We really liked the Saki Museum! Harumi explained each site well and in our travel from one site to the next, she talked about Japan. It was so educational. If you get to chose Harumi go for it!

Thank you for your warm comments.
It was a very memorable tour. I was deeply touched by your kindness and generosity, from learning about music to spotting many fish and what appeared to be egrets at Kobe Port. Your kind comments are truly encouraging to me. Please come to Japan again. I’m waiting for you.
Thank you so much again.

Kobe with Yama
Yama was our guide and he was great....zipping us to various places in the city, that would have taken us ages to figure out and get to. It was so great to have him explain different unique cultural insights and help us experience Kobe to the max. Was definitely one of our favorite places in Japan

Many thanks for your most kind and considerate comment. I am very much glad to know that you have enjoyed the tour with me. I have also had a very happy time with you two. Moreover, I am very happy that you like "Kashi-pan" (pastries you ate at the local bakery shop near the bridge). So good, right? I am very much sure that the sheep at Nankin-machi China town will bring you two every happiness. I do hope I can see you again sometime somewhere.
