Haru provided us with an excellent private tour of Nara, using public transportation from Kyoto. This was our last full day in Japan and we were not disappointed! Haru is an enthusiastic guide and clearly enjoys sharing his knowledge and showing off the sights. We especially appreciated his flexibility and willingness to modify our tour in order to help us with some final travel arrangements.
Amazing day in Nara with Ken! He is a lively, retired Japanese engineer, living between Kyoto and Nara, who has worked in the Chicago area while at Panasonic, making him perfectly fluent in English. He was very kind, knowledgeable, flexible (we had to start a bit later and finish a bit earlier than planned) and patient with our teenage boys, made us discover gems in Nara (Great Buddha statue, imperial palace site, including a fascinating bit on ancient building techniques, World Heritage gardens, etc.). We had a picnic at the Nara deer park, which was a very nice experience. He met us at our hotel in Kyoto in the morning and made sure we made it back to our train on time, on the right deck, and with the right tickets. He sent us the detailed itinerary the day before, so we knew what to expect. We had very interesting discussions on Japanese history, religion, culture, geopolitics. He was able to manage the schedule brilliantly so we did not miss anything. Definitely recommend!
