5.00Takuma was a spectacular guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and provided a wealth of information. We learned so much from him. He was also a fantastic and likeable human being. He gave perspective as a Japanese male, shared insights from a typical Japanese citizen point of view, made us laugh, and encouraged us to ask questions. Very happy with this tour, especially with Takuma as a guide!
Fantastic experience, tour was incredible

5.00We were unable to make our 5.30 group tour so the tour company organised for us to have a tour at 6.30. We met our guide Takuma. He was awesome. He was well informed on the district and even had a presentation prepared on his iPad to help illustrate key points. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and even saw many geisha out moving from one entertainment appointment to another. It was special.
