One of the best tour guides you can ever have

Hi Chie!
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the wonderful tour today!
Your historical introductions to the sake breweries and Ikuta Shrine were amazing, and your warm hospitality created such a great atmosphere.
I especially loved the stories you shared during our Beef lunch. Hearing about your own life experiences not only helped me understand Japanese culture and faith on a deeper level, but it also gave me some truly inspiring perspectives on life.
Thank you for making this trip so special and unforgettable!

Chie-san was amazing! She gave us a lot of info about the history of sake, and Japan in general and even gave us our names in Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana! She was engaged with us the entire time and we had a blast. 

Amazing experience- the descriptions of the Japanese food, culture and techniques was outstanding!. It was a fun class and the bonus was Chie’s personal and knowledge of Japanese history. I learned so much. Thanks again, much appreciated.

Chie was a fantastic tour guide, I had the pleasure of doing a one on one bike tour guide through Himeji and it was honestly amazing. She was knowledgeable, fun and very friendly! Thank you Chie for making this tour a memorable one!

Chie was a fantastic host!! She has great passion and a lot of knowledge about the city and the history Japan - we enjoyed every minute of our tour. 

Thank you Chie for a lovely cooking class. It was great learning about the different sake and foods along with some very interesting history!

We had such an amazing time with Chie. She is wonderfully fantastic - very knowledgeable of the history of Himeji Castle. She was very patient with us. We were a tad slow in cycling and she didnt mind the wait for us to catch up. She explained to us how tea ceremony was observed. We even visited the "men's shrine" up many flight of stairs. She is so fun to be with, lively and responsive. My 23yo son was extremely pleased with how informative Chie is, to the many questions he asked of Japanese history and culture. There was never a dull moment with Chie. We had to part ways sadly, when the tour ended. If we could do a specific request for a guide in the future, we will definitely ask for Chie. Thank you so so so much Chie, for making our biking trip to Himeji Castle so memorable and beautiful.
