We booked Makoto for a short tour of Osaka. 7 hour duration has been shortened to 5 hours due to our cruise departure at 3PM. Makoto did his best to accommodate as much as can be possible in a limited timeframe. We visited Osaka Castle and Dotonbori district where we sampled some local food (takoyaki). A visit to Umeda Sky building has been dropped. All in all it was a very good introduction to Osaka and what it could offer. Enough to make us want to visit it again in the future. I would recommend Makoto to anyone needing a quick tour of the city.
Dear Sonia, Thanks for your nice comments on my tour. I also enjoyed guiding you of Osaka. Unfortunately it was not enough time to show Osaka due to the cruise departure, and hopefully I can show you more about Osaka next time. Thanks again for your choosing me of your guide. Makoto
My wife and I had a very pleasant day with Makoto sigthseeing Kyoto and its main sights. Tak! :-)
Dear Andre, Thank you for your nice comments on Kyoto tour. I have also enjoyed guiding you very much although it was so hot day. Please come back to Japan. Jeg er glad for det. Tak for alt !! Makoto
Makoto è stata una guida tranquilla e premurosa, al nostro arrivo ci ha fornito ad ognuno di noi le copie del percorso, spiegandocelo minuziosamente. Inoltre ci ha fornito di un utilissimo ventaglio per sopportare meglio il caldo. E’ stata una giornata davvero piacevole.
Era una giornata calda, ma mi sono anche divertito molto. Per favore, torna in Giappone quando i fiori di ciliegio sono in fiore. Grazie per avermi scelto come guida. Makoto
We had a private guided tour in Osaka with Makoto an exceptionally knowledgeable and available guide. From our first meeting, he made us feel comfortable and provided us with detailed documents for our visit. Makoto was clearly well-prepared for the tour, knowing the history and anecdotes of the sites we visited perfectly. Furthermore, he was able to adjust to our preferences by taking us to see the places that interested us the most. Additionally, he gave us a subway map and explained how to use it, which was incredibly helpful for the rest of our stay in Osaka. Thanks to his guidance, navigating the city became much easier and more enjoyable. Thanks to Makoto, we were able to discover aspects of the city that I would never have been able to discover on our own. His passion for Osaka was palpable and contagious, and I truly enjoyed every moment spent in his company. We highly recommend Makoto guided tour to anyone looking to explore Osaka in an authentic and enriching way. A big thank you to the Makoto for this memorable experience!
Dear Michel, Thank you so much for your nice comments. This was so nice comments as you are my 100th customers provided the comments for my tour. I also enjoyed the guide as you always showed good interests in Japanese history and cultures. Thanks again for your choosing me of your guide. Makoto
