Superb tour with great guide - Kodai was an exceptional guide. Our tour was like visiting with a friend, not a scripted boilerplate walk through Kobe. Kodai passed on a lot of interesting local knowledge and some broader concepts of Japanese culture. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with him and highly recommend this tour with Kodai.

Insider's tour of Kobe - Kodai's English is very good and he is a good communicator. He is very personable, friendly, accomodating, and knowledgeable about Japanese history and local culture. He took us outside of Kobe to Shioya to experience life in a small town, then to interesting places in Kobe, including the Kobe Herb Gardens, shopping areas, and to eat foods Kobe is known for, including Kobe beef. Be prepared to do a lot of walking.

Amazing stroll through Kobe - Had the most peaceful and amazing time in Kobe. Hinata was my guide and she fit the tour exactly to my preferences, offering insights along the way. Went to nunobiki gardens and then to Kitano Ijinkan Gai, and ended with a tasty teppanyaki lunch. Had great time chatting and strolling around and enjoying a few hours with a local. Highly recommend this tour

A great customised tour. - A great customised tour. Kodai is knowledgeable, engaging and friendly. We had a great tour around the historical area, then out to a more rural location for some lovely sushi and then to Chinatown. A good way to spend a few hours exploring.

Great morning with Kodai - Since we had less than 4 hours in Kobe, Kodai adjusted the schedule to go where we wanted and see what we wanted. He was friendly, personable and had perfect English. We had a very nice morning with him.

Kobe Tour with Kodai - Excellent tour. Kodai speeks English really well. He was able to explain everything very clearly. Especially about all the shrines and temples and the difference between them :-) We had so many other questions as well just in relation to japan and he was able to answer everything. His local knowledge is amazing and he custom made the tour based on what we wanted to see and do. He communicated with us before the tour so everything was sorted on the day. He was great with our 4 year old son as well which helped. I would recommend him to everyone!!

Wonderful tour in Kobe - Kodai was a wonderful tour guide. He met us at the port terminal and guided us throughout the day. Kodai guided us through the transportation system and brought us to interesting spots including the sake and lkobe beef museums. He was very helpful and guided us on shrine and table etiquette. Kodai was very kind and responsive to our needs and shopping wishes. We would highly recommend his tour— 10:10!
