Tatsuya was more than we could have ever asked for as a guide. We corresponded ahead of the tour and I mentioned wanting to take the train to a sake distillery after our tour. He contacted distilleries to enquire about tour options and made recommendations. Based on our interests and the available options, he suggested we add Takehara to our tour to see "little Kyoto" and visit a distillery. It was such a great idea and something we wouldn't have found or done on our own.
The day of our tour the weather was cold and rainy and Tatsuyare-ordered our tour to see Takehara first followed by Rabbit Island when the weather cleared. It was the best idea and he timed everything perfectly to see Takehara, have a nice lunch, and catch the 2pm ferry to rabbit island. He also stopped by a local goods store when he heard about some of the foods we liked in Hiroshima prefecture and wanted to take home.
Tatsuya is extremely knowledgeable with great English. Touring with him felt like spending a fun day with a friend.
THANK YOU Tatsuya for a wonderful day and for the special treats!
