Minoo Falls and America-mura

Uki was an excellent guide to the water fall in Minoo park and my 18 year old son was looking for a place to find cool clothes. Uki suggested America-mura and my son was able to find what he was looking for. Uki helped us find food along the way and made suggestion for the rest of our time in Osaka.

In the middle of September, the weather was still humid and thank you so much for doing the little hiking with me. I hope you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and hope your son enjoy his gap year, have new discoveries:)

Uki was excellent!

UKi was excellent!!! She was fun, energetic, informative, flexible & so thoughtful. She was terrific with our older teenagers, accommodating and made it a wonderful two days in Kyoto. She was very sensitive of my being a bit slower with a walking cane. She also knew what sites might be a little more challenging on my legs versus for my teenagers whom we encouraged to go for it while she kept me company at a café nearby waiting for them. She handled all the logistics of taxi, Uber, trains and made it all run so smoothly. After only a few hours with her, you feel at home with her. She’s such a good person! We’re so impressed with UKi. She made our tour amazing and so enjoyable! We miss her already! Thank you Uki!

Dear Mitch, Thank you so much for giving me this heartwarming review. I translated your words to my grandmother, she seemed very relieved to hear that I’m doing good at my job, thank you so much. I admire you because even your leg hurt, you and your family made this Japan journey a very nice one. I hope you and your family always stay happy, just like when you are traveling to Japan. I hope your parents like the hot pot, too. I will try hard in study, and hope someday I can go to US to see you.

The Best Tour Guide!

I recently had the pleasure of booking a tour with Uki as my guide during my trip to Japan, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment we met, Uki's warmth, knowledge, and enthusiasm for sharing her culture and country with visitors was evident. Her passion for her country was infectious, and her storytelling brought a richness and depth to our journey that I will always treasure. Not only was Uki incredibly knowledgeable, but she was also a fantastic communicator and made sure that she understood my goals during our adventures together. Her friendly and approachable demeanor instantly put me at ease, and she was always willing to answer our questions and share personal anecdotes that made the experience feel personalized and special. Thanks to Uki's expert guidance, I was able to see and experience Kyoto/Hiroshima in a way that I never could have on my own. Every moment of our tour was filled with wonder and discovery. I left Japan feeling inspired, enlightened, and grateful for the unforgettable memories that Uki helped create. If you are looking for a top-notch tour guide who will showcase the beauty, history, and culture of Japan with passion and expertise, look no further than Uki. She truly made my trip an incredible and enriching experience, and I cannot thank her enough for the memories that will last a lifetime. Arigatou gozaimasu, Uki-san!
