From the top of a mountain close to it,you can take a look at beautiful scenery.

The bay is calm and not influenced by the tide's ebbs and flows.
You can see the village from a pleasure ship.

I don't mind if you are in a wheelchair or not. Some of the seats aren't so spacious for a large body, sometimes are cramped.
Had a great experience with Zumi-san! He brought us from Kyoto to Nara and then to Kansai airport. He was prompt in communication and punctual. He is conversant in English and friendly. His vehicle is clean, comfortable and large. He navigated the roads with ease and drove smoothly. He walked with us, explained details to us, and answered our questions patiently. We had my elderly mother with us and he was careful to check with her if the walking and climbing was fine for her. Grateful to him for the good memories!
Hello, dear Michelle-san. Thank you so much for writing a review about the tour just when you finish it . I'm so happy and relaxed to give you a comfortable ride safely. Kindly be back to Japan and experience every thing Japanese. Best wishes to you all. Thank you. Zumi
Zumi is a delightful man, with excellent English. He is most considerate and in planning our day with him he was very flexible to accommodate my wife’s limited walking ability. Zumi met as at Kyoto station as we disembarked from our train from Osaka. He brought his van to the station exit. We then drove us around to all the sites on our agreed itinerary. He is very knowledgeable. I’m an avid photographer and he was so helpful in putout good photographic opportunities. We asked him to join us for lunch and selected a delightful traditional restaurant. We cannot recommend him highly enough.
Hello,dear Mr. and Mrs.Fisher. Thank you so much for taking the service ,and sending me too much reputation. I really appreciate it and am so pleased you had a good time in Kyoto taking lots of photos of scenic beauty. Hopefully you enjoy a lot at another port of call. Kindly take care and be safe . Bon Voyage.
Zumi is our guide from 14-21 April 2024 to our family comprising of 6 adults (1 on wheelchair) and a toddler. Zumi is instrumental in planning our itinerary which included Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto and Nara as well as fetching us from the airport/sending us to the airport. We enjoyed our trip very much having Zumi as our tour guide. We are extremely grateful towards Zumi as he went the extra mile by volunteering to push the wheelchair user especially when our maid is exhausted. Zumi has been a great help in assisting the maid with any slopes, hills and rough surfaces. Zumi is an exceptional and fantastic guide with strong communication skills and a great command of English. He is very helpful, enthusiastic, energetic and empathetic guide. Zumi is also very punctual, flexible and willingly accepts our last minute/adhoc requests and engages/shares his in-depth knowledge about the sights as well as information about local traditions, historical sites, museums with us. We would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest appreciation towards Zumi. Best wishes to your loved ones and "addition" to the family. We highly recommend Zumi as the TOUR GUIDE!!
Dear Jo-san. Thank you for your review written in the page. Hopefully say hello to your family. See you again. Takehiko Oizumi
Zumi San took well care of me and my family during our stay in Osaka and Tokyo. He is as fit as a fiddle and with energy of someone 20 years old younger than his age. He brought us to many nice senary and nice delicious seafood, highly recommended!
