Perfect day in Kobe! - We had such a fabulous day with Kodai! He met us at our hotel, showed us all around Kobe’s main tourist destinations, and then he took us on the train to a local market and the sake museum. His English is perfect, and we had a really fun day tailored to our interests. We highly recommend this tour!

Kobe city and wonderful tour - Hinata was a very efficient tour guide. She took us on a walking tour of several interesting places in Kobe. We walked quite a bit (7.7 km 🤣🤣) and that was fantastic because we had enough time to interact with her, who told us about the customs, traditions, and history of her city and also the country. We want to go back and, if possible, we want to go out with Hinata again; it will always be good to see her and the beautiful city of Kobe again! I highly recommend this tour and Hinata for everyone! Thank you 🌺

When in Kobe book this tour - Had a fantastic time and Hinata (our guide) was super sweet. She showed us everything we wanted and adjusted the program accordingly. We ate delicious kobe beef at an affordable place in Chinatown. She talked a lot about Japan and the difference with Europe, highly recommended

Satori - a thoughtful and knowledgeable guide - Satori was an excellent guide who contacted me beforehand to inquire of my interests. She then tailored our tour to focus on my interests and did an excellent job of it! She even welcomed me with a gift of chocolates - very thoughtful of her. Would gladly have her guide me on another tour of the city.

Superb tour with great guide - Kodai was an exceptional guide. Our tour was like visiting with a friend, not a scripted boilerplate walk through Kobe. Kodai passed on a lot of interesting local knowledge and some broader concepts of Japanese culture. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with him and highly recommend this tour with Kodai.

Insider's tour of Kobe - Kodai's English is very good and he is a good communicator. He is very personable, friendly, accomodating, and knowledgeable about Japanese history and local culture. He took us outside of Kobe to Shioya to experience life in a small town, then to interesting places in Kobe, including the Kobe Herb Gardens, shopping areas, and to eat foods Kobe is known for, including Kobe beef. Be prepared to do a lot of walking.

Amazing stroll through Kobe - Had the most peaceful and amazing time in Kobe. Hinata was my guide and she fit the tour exactly to my preferences, offering insights along the way. Went to nunobiki gardens and then to Kitano Ijinkan Gai, and ended with a tasty teppanyaki lunch. Had great time chatting and strolling around and enjoying a few hours with a local. Highly recommend this tour

A great customised tour. - A great customised tour. Kodai is knowledgeable, engaging and friendly. We had a great tour around the historical area, then out to a more rural location for some lovely sushi and then to Chinatown. A good way to spend a few hours exploring.
