Kotaro was very knowledgeable about the things we wanted to see. He took us to hidden spots we wouldn’t be able to find other wise. Highly recommend!

Kotaro-san was a wonderful and very knowledgeable guide! Explaining many différent thing like the story behind the architecture, the trains and history behind the stations! Which was WAY more interesting than I thought it would have been. If you're a big fan of history and architecture I would reccomend Kotaro as your guide !! Thank you again for the very pleasant tour !!!
