Kobe is famous for a port which was opened to foreign trade in the second half of the 19th century for the first time after long isolation policy in the past. That means Kobe is rich in an air of exotic compared to other cities in Japan. I'd like you to enjoy Kobe with a little bit different atmosphere.

Keiji collected us from the train station as we arrived from Kyoto by train. Keji was very flexible and allowed us to change the itinerary. We visited the Atomic bomb dome and Peace memorial museum. Keiji had purchased the tickets online for us so we did not need to wait in the que . It was very busy as there was a flower festival. He took us for lunch to a Okonomiyaki restaurant which catered for the members of our party who were vegetarian. It was a very nice experience. We then took the ferry to Itsukushima shrine in Miyajima island. It was very nice experience even though it was very crowded. We did not have time to visit the castel but saw it in the distance.
Dear Smita, Thank you very much for good reputation. I enjoyed our tour with you too. I also thank you for your cooperation to our tour. I hope someday I have a tour with you. Best regards, Keiji
Keiji was excellent and very knowledgeable about the history of Japan. The temple experience was enlightening and a highlight of the trip.
Dear Sheila, Thank you for your evaluating me highly. That really encourages me. I'll continue my job with experiences through our tour. Keiji
What a fantastic day we have had. The itinerary was absolutely perfect, 10 out of 10. Lunch was simply amazing. We covered everything that we wanted to see and more. Keiji is a gentleman and cannot do enough for his clients. He just wants to ensure that you have an amazing time. Highly recommend.
Dear Mark, Thank you very much for the great admiration. I had just done what I had to do as a tour guide. I'm very pleased to know you enjoyed our tour. Thank you again. Keiji
We enjoyed our day out with Keiji which could have been better if his grasp of English was improved He was too busy chatting with the driver
I'm sorry to have guests feel unhappy. I needed to talk about the itinerary and how we could make them happy. Keiji
