“ Nara with Kenji ”

Very disappointing experience. Kenjis English is poor and he was absolutely not an enthousiastic guide. Not a lot of explanation and no interest in his guests. We stopped the tour earlier.

Kenji M.

Igor-san, I appreciate that you gave me your honest review. I'm very sorry for you that I could not satisfy your expectation this time. I prepare many explanation materials for my guiding and use them while adjusting its volume and timing according to my guests' needs. I misunderstood your expectation this time and used less materials which may make you feel very disappointed. I'll improve my skill to catch guest's needs timely in early stage of tour so as to adjust my guiding more properly. Thank you again for your honest review. Kenji

“ Umeda Sky and Ukiyo-e Wood Block Painting ”

Kenji was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of great information about the places we went. He also booked us a spot to try our hand at traditional wood block painting which was really fun!

Kenji M.

Susan-san, Thank you for your great review of our tour with nice photos. I'm very glad that you and your husband liked my guiding and could enjoy visiting fascinating spots and workshop of our traditional woodblock printing. Your finished products are perfect! Arigatogozaimashita. Kenji

“ Kenji is wonderful! ”

We could not have asked for a better guide to show and share Kyoto with us. Kenji put together a very comprehensive tour for us because we only had one day to see the best sites in Kyoto. Kenji was very thoughtful and provided us with background and context for all we saw including the history of the area and Japan. We highly recommend Kenji and give 5 stars with our thanks. Arigatou gozaimasu Kenji!

Greg-san, What a great review you gave! I'm very happy that you liked my guiding and could enjoy visiting fascinating spots including my recommendation. Your review must become best motivation to my next tours. Arigatou gozaimashita! Kenji
