Best day on Shikoku

5.00We had a wonderful day with Takanori Kurosawa! We began with the whirlpools and Onaruto bridge which was very impressive. Then had a wonderful lunch at a nearby local place that we never would have found on our own. Then Yashima Temple with spectacular views of the Seto Island Sea. His touring van was very comfortable, and he drove very safely, and we had many wonderful conversations. We would highly recommend his tours if visiting Shikoku.
A beautiful day. Perfect...

5.00A beautiful day. Perfect weather for a drive to the mountains. A visit to the Gardens, a mountaintop shrine, and a Ropeway ride to a beautiful temple. Thousands of years of cultural history easily accessible with a friendly and knowledgeable guide Taka. He was wonderful. We highly recommend him.
Excellent English speaking guide and driver in beautiful Kagawa.

5.00We made a lifelong friend in Taka. He showed us the real beauty and unique sites in his beloved prefecture. He went out of his way to make sure we were always comfortable, and that we saw the authentic Japanese culture we were interested in. Local restaurants, Bonsai farms, hilltop views, gardens, tea ceremony…He took us everywhere. We can’t recommend him enough.

5.00We made a life long friend in Taka. He couldn’t have been more accommodating or knowledgeable about his beautiful prefecture. We enjoyed every minute every day with him. He went out of his way to accommodate all of needs and wishes to see the real Japan and have authentic cultural experiences. We can’t recommend him enough.
Beautiful memories in Takamatsu

5.00I had a wonderful time making beautiful memories with my family in Takamatsu over the recent holiday. While searching for places to visit, I came across a private taxi tour that covered all the 'hot spots' I was looking for. The pricing was very reasonable, so I didn't hesitate to book it. It was such a satisfying choice—we were able to use our time efficiently as a family and travel in total comfort while listening to the guide’s friendly and informative explanations. I’m also so grateful to the guide for taking beautiful photos of us and introducing us to some fantastic local restaurants. Thanks to them, I’m heading home with precious memories of Takamatsu. If you’re planning a trip and want to hit multiple must-visit spots, I highly recommend this! The guide was amazing, and I definitely plan on using this service again for my next trip."
