“The tour guide Oscar (he introduced himself as Aska or Omo) was really very good. He was very friendly and spoke three different languages. Despite being originally from Taiwan, his spoken Japanese language is really good (the same as the locals). My wife and I have participated in other day tours (from other countries) we booked from this app, and one key ingredient that makes a great day tour: The Tour Guide.

I really recommend getting him, and this tour!!Read more”
