Natsuko is an excellent tour guide. She drove us in her private car. We were 5 person. We enjoyed the Rokko tram with beautiful views. She gave us a bottled drink then took us to an authentic Japanese restaurant where food was cooked before us. Next we went to the Arima Onsen and took a bath 🙏. The town of Arima is quaint with craft shops and cookie making shops. We learned of the hot springs from her partner a geology buff. This is the Japan that I wanted to know. Well worth the cost.
Thank you for writing such a wonderful review! I'm glad that Natsuko was able to assist you. The view from the top of the Rokko Cable Car was truly beautiful, especially on such a clear day where you could see far into the distance! The atmosphere during lunch, with the live cooking performance right in front of you, was perfect for enjoying authentic Japanese cuisine. At Arima Onsen, it was great to have a geology expert with us since you were a larger group this time.
Natsuko Was absolutely excellent! She suggested going to the Kobe Herb Garden, which was spectacular. She made reservations for lunch at a lovely traditional restaurant. The experience was amazing. She is knowledgeable, very friendly, and a good driver! I highly recommend this experience with Natsuko.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I was really happy to guide such a kind and friendly couple. Seeing you both enjoying the flowers at the herb garden made me very happy too. I'm glad I could take you to a Japanese restaurant that the locals love, and it was great to hear that you were satisfied.Natsuko
