A magical Village - Keita made the trip really enjoyable and amazing. He is funny and entertaining. The village was great too. The only downside was, that we had only 2h of time to get to see the village. It is not enough :/ Thank you for all the information.

Rural Japanese Life - Me and the Mrs went on this tour and weren't sure what to expect but had a great time. It's a tour of a rustic Japanese village. You get insights into a very different way of life. Keita was our guide and he was great. He was easy to talk to and brought a lot of great knowledge and humor to the trip. He was a great guide.

Shirakawago - Our tour guide Keita was really good. He made the bus ride to Shrakawago enjoyable and us quite knowledgeable. Highly recommended. Go early in the morning to beat crowds and take better photos.

May in Shiragawa-go - This was a great experience. We went during the start of Golden Week so it was clutch to get to Shiragawa-ga early before the crowds picked up. Keita was great! Good visuals and gave us all the history and visuals we needed so we had ample context prior to exploring the area. Would highly recommend!
