Amazing tour! - This tour was amazing, our guide Yusuke was exceptional! He is knowledgeable, kind, and went above and beyond to give our family an amazing day. He had all the details planned but was flexible with changes that needed to be made to accommodate our family. Truly an amazing experience. It was our favorite day we spent in Japan!!
