Fun, interactive tour

5.00I wasn't exactly sure what to expect with this tour, but it was an incredible experience! I did it with some friends, and it was such a great time of year to do it with the cherry blossoms in full peak. The length of time was wonderful, and finishing it with lunch was so personal. The size of our group was the perfect size at about 5 of us, and it was so great to have the tour be so interactive. I have been back to some of these areas since doing the tour, and now with the increased knowledge I gained on this tour, I will not and cannot look at the sites the same again; they have so much more meaning. Connor was so fun and engaging, and he ensured everyone felt comfortable participating. He was very knowledgeable, and it is clear he is passionate about teaching others this hidden history. This tour is great for locals and visitors, and brings so much more meaning to areas of downtown Portland and the waterfront.
Great Experience!

5.00Connor did a fantastic job explaining the history of Japanese Americans and their influence in the Portland community. The tour flowed extremely smooth and Connor's approach made it a really experience.
A “must do,” especially for those interested in Portland history.

5.00I did this tour with my mom and a friend and we all learned a lot about Japanese American history in Portland. Connor has clearly spent a lot of time researching the history of Nihonmachi (Japantown) and the role Japanese Americans spent shaping Portland's downtown through the 20th century. This is a great tour for: - Portlanders interested in local history - Visitors interested in learning something beyond the cheesy ghost tours - Anyone who wants to learn more about the Japanese American experience in the US
Great tour and history of Japantown and Japanese American Historical Plaza.

5.00Connor’s tour offered fascinating insights into Portland’s history and the history of Japanese Americans in Portland including the history of their immigration to the US. In addition to visiting the area where Japantown was located and discussing the types of businesses immigrants established, the tour included a visit to the Japanese American Historical Plaza. As we looked at the monuments and inscriptions, Connor encouraged the participants to imagine the lives of those who were sent to incarceration camps in WW II. We also discussed the contributions of Bill Naito, a Japanese American businessman who offered great leadership in developing the Historical Plaza. I’d recommend the tour to anyone interested in Portland’s history or the history of the injustice of the mass incarceration of West Coast Japanese Americans.
Connect with Japanese American history and you

5.00Conner gave us a fabulous tour beginning with a cup of tea. His knowledge of local Japanese American history is exemplary. By asking us "what came up for you " allowed us ask questions and share personal experiences which enriched the community connections that we unknowingly share with each other.
Japanese American history in the Portland area.

5.00Even though the day was mostly grey skies and cool, Connor's tour was stimulating. His insights into Bill Naito and Bill's love of Portland and dedication to the Japanese American community were enlightening. I would have never known to stop and read the inscriptions written on the individual boulders and 2 large engraved pillars in the Japanese Memorial Park along the Willamette Riverfront. If you are Japanese or have an interest in the Japanese American history in the Portland area, you will learn a lot. It is well worth your time.
A meaningful and informative exploration into the complex history of the connection between Japan and Portland.

5.00Connor was an exceptional tour guide - the day of our tour it was quite warm - near triple digits - but Connor brought iced tea and mugs for people to sip while on the tour, making sure we were hydrated and comfortable in the shade when possible. Our group was smaller than expected, so the experience was all the more informative and intimate, allowing for a more open discussion of emotions, ideas and reactions to each part of the tour - which included visiting art and sculpture, architecture, and landscape. Connor made the environment feel inclusive and friendly, asking for participation from each of us in subtle ways, which helped with the sense of immersion into a significant moment in our city's (and nation's) history. I came away feeling more connected to the past, and with a better understanding of how much early Japanese immigrants went through in making a home of the US and Portland. Having these physical reminders of said history made for more impact than I anticipated - I was humbled.
A Thought Provoking Journey Through Japanese History in Portland

5.00The entire tour was engaging and intriguing. It was a short stroll packed with a history from the first Japanese immigrants to Portland until today. I can't recommend it enough to other Portland-Based Japaneses Businesses looking to have their staff learn more about the rich and complicated history of Japanese People in Portland. The most amazing part is the way the tour brings out a history that thousands walk by every day without realizing its right there!
Insightful Storytelling That Stays With You

5.00This tour was both moving and incredibly informative. I’ve walked through this part of Portland countless times without ever realizing the rich history beneath the surface. Connor’s passion for Japanese American history shines through in his thoughtful storytelling and the connections he draws between the experiences of Japanese Portlanders and our own lives today. Whether you’re visiting the city for the first time or a local looking for a fresh perspective, I highly recommend this tour. It’s timely, impactful, and has stayed with me long after the experience.
