Phenomenal Tour Guide - Our tour guide Jun was very informative. He had a binder with visuals to ensure nothing would get lost in translation. In addition he assisted us with transportation to and from our cruise ship. He is one of the best tour guides we have encountered.

Great tour with Mieko - Mieko is an excellent guide. We had a beautiful day to tour Kumamoto Castle and Suizenji Jojuen gardens. I learned a lot and can't recommend Mieko enough.

A wonderful tour in Kumamoto with local guide Mieko san - We visit the Kumamoto castle, and Suienzi garden; also the Traditional culture museum. Private guide provide a more leisure course that suit our family (with one little baby) without hustle or fuzz. Our tour guide Mieko also showed good professionalism on introduction to the castle's special building techniques. And also on the Higo Samurai culture and art
