Stephen communicated with us several times before our tour date and met us promptly at the cruise ship port at the designated time. He designed a wonderful experience for us that included a relaxed bento box lunch under the Sakura (cherry blossom) trees and a peaceful stroll through Tsurumai Park. Stephen was very personable and considerate, taking great care to make sure our needs were met. It was a perfect day that far exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend a tour with Stephen.

Summary:
I had a great tour with Miki. She gave me so much information about the city. She helped me navigate the transit system. I had a lovely day exploring the city. The cherry blossoms were late in blooming but the ones I saw were still beautiful.
