My father and I had the pleasure of spending an entire day with Macco, originally we were only going to tour Manazuru but after being informed there was a local festival going on in the nearby town of Yugawara we knew we didn't want to miss out. It was absolutely perfect, Macco is incredibly sweet and helpful and really made us feel like a local in Manazuru. She really knows everyone and made us feel right at home. It was a breath of fresh air compared to the fast-paced city life in Tokyo The food in Manazuru is delightful with some of the best fish we had during our stay in Japan. Despite its small size, there is lots to explore in the town (A favourite of ours being the shrine all the way up the hill, the view is gorgeous) and I have no doubts that no matter your interest Macco will be able to find something for you. The Yugawara Yassa festival was wonderful as well, it was so cool seeing all of the dances everyone had prepared and the festival food was delicious as well ^w^ Thank you so much again for the wonderful time Macco and I hope to visit Manazuru again soon!
Thank you for your review. I'm so happy that you liked Manazuru and enjoyed the tour as well as Yassa Festival in Yugawara. It was my pleasure to be your guide and spend a great time with you two. Looking forward to seeing you again sometime soon...! Best regards, Macco
I went to a summer festival at Iwa beach. Illuminated by the enchanting lights of lanterns and floating lanterns on the sea, I danced the Bon Odori with the locals to the sound of drums. Macco taught me the simple steps of the Bon Odori and introduced me to the locals, making me feel like a part of the festival. It was a fun, exotic, and very stimulating experience. It was wonderful to not only observe but also participate in a traditional Japanese festival. Afterwards, I enjoyed delicious fried noodle from a food stall. The evening ended with many beautiful fireworks launched from the sea, making it an unforgettable summer memory.
Kaori san, thank you so much for your comment and good review for me. I'm happy that you had a great time at the festival. Hope you'll visit Manazuru again for another unforgettable experience. Macco
Planning our day with Kunio was easy and efficient through the messaging app provided by GoWithGuide. He was prompt to respond to questions and he accommodated our tour requests to the tee. From the moment we met him, he was full of interesting information and cool facts that really enhanced our experience. Despite the scorching heat, he was prompt and flexible, willing to deviate from our original itinerary to accommodate the needs of our tired kids. Our shopping "break" on Komachi-dori Street was extended, which gave the kids new energy. They indulged in snacks and tested their luck at a local shop where they won stuffed animals. He was fantastic with them and took us to a fabulous soba restaurant that we never would have gone to on our own. The pace of the tour was just right, allowing us ample time at each stop without feeling rushed. And to top it all off, he surprised us with gifts to commemorate our Kamakura visit. His level of care and attention to detail truly made our day unforgettable. I highly recommend booking a tour with him - you won't be disappointed!
Dear Annette san, Thank you very much for your favorable comment on our Kamakura Tour. I am glad to know that you and your family fully enjoyed the tour with me. It was a joyful tour for me also to receive cheerful family like you. I look forward to seeing you again in near future. Kunio

Dear The Kawades, Thank you very much for your kind remarks on me. It is me who should appreciate your kindness and friendliness extended to me during our short journey. I really admire that you are so brave that you could successfully drove to the hotel in Gora thru meandering roads in Hakone mountains. As the weather report is saying, it may be getting hotter, so take care of your beloved daughter and have many good memories of Japan. Arigatou 河出(Kawade)san. Best regards, Yasuro
