We had a wonderful day with Takashi as our guide. We visited Arakura Sengen Park and Shrine, 4th Station, Wind and Ice Caves, Mt Fuji Panoramic Ropeway and Oishi Park. We were very lucky and got to see Mt. Fuji all day. Takashi was very knowledgeable about all sites and the history of Japan and we would highly recommend this tour.

Toni was a wonderful driver/guide during our half day trip in Tokyo. I would do it again or a longer day trip if they have that chance again. I was with my wife and her mom. They both also enjoyed it.

Want to have a photoshoot of your own? Feel fabulous and model-like while touring, eating, and shopping? Then book this photography tour with TK! If you want amazing photos in awesome Shirakawa-go and Kanazawa, then you have to book with TK Photography. You’ll bring home great memories of these beautiful historic places and have awesome photos (of you!) to show around. Had my solo trip for 3 days and booked TK Photography for 2 days. I am not a model and got conscious about the shoot but TK made it fun and comfortable for me. I learned that people and event photography has been TK’s career and he specialises in engagements and weddings. Being a professional photographer, I guess you could make the trip as friendly or as professional as you want. With all the little stories we shared along the ride, it was like meeting an old friend who was happy to show me around his hometown. And a friend who happens to love taking your photo!

The flexibility to chose locations that suited our wants and abilities was great. Hiro San was very quick to put together an itinerary that accommodated a family with a stroller-baby (no monkey park due to long unpacked walking paths). Taking in the beautiful temples and view of the Kyoto from the west was breath taking and the guide was able to explain many things we as new Japanese learners could not read or know through cultural knowledge. Overall a great experience, a wonderful and lively guide, and some great memories.
