About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- F7033UOhollyb0 contributionsWonderful Custom Tour Focusing on the Details of Himeji CastleI had asked for a customized tour of just "every nook and cranny" of Himeji Casle and boy did our tour guide deliver. Ms. Chiyuki told us every detail about every bit of Himeji castle. She was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us to appreciate this amazing building as not only a perfectly designed fortress but a work of art. Ms. Chiyuki explained so much in a fascinating and easy to understand way while also looking out for our comfort and safety on a very hot day. We recommend Ms. Chiyuki with the highest regard if you'd like to experience Himeji castle through the lens of a passionate and professional expertWritten August 22, 2023

Chiyuki’s command of English was impressive. A charming and fun guide. Highly recommended. Even allowed time to get some much needles coffees. Twice!Written April 13, 2023
