Great day tour!

Rio was a fantastic tour guide - it was a rainy day and she still managed to show us everything in the tour and also helped me as a gluten free person with finding safe food on the island. She went above and beyond in her recommendations and was very caring. Def recommend this tour and guide

Perfect for families

We did the tour as a family with a toddler (18M) with Rio. It was truly one of the best tours we have done in Japan. We got along very well with Rio. She is a very warm-hearted person and showed and explained many things to us that you normally don't see or know about. We absolutely recommend the tour 10/10!
