A local guide makes a difference

We really appreciated Mao’s tour yesterday. She grew up here and knows Takayama inside out. Before we met up with her, we walked around for a hour with a map, but could not connect with the city. Then it all changed after we met her! She was very friendly and enthusiastic. It made us feel a friend is showing us around in Takayama!

Mao M.

Thank you for your review! I really enjoyed with you just like friend. I remember your recommendation and please enjoy your trip in Japan!

Young, enthusiast guide with sense of humor

My time in Takayama would have been less interesting if I didn’t book a tour with Mao-san. She’s a young and enthusiast guide. She has a surprising sense of humor. She was so kind to listen to my requests and could combine Takayama with a short visit in Furukawa. She gave me good advice on where to eat. Grazie Mao-san!

Mao M.

Arigatou for joined my tour! I enjoyed talking with you too. I hope you don’t get hangover! See you next time!
