Traveller reviews
TK was our guide and photographer to Shirakawa-go & Takayama for a day. It started with him picking us up at our hotel punctually in a very comfortable vehicle. His driving was smooth & safe. He certainly is a very experienced photographer who knows all the best spots to capture beautiful shots. The poses he suggested also looked very natural in the photos and we love all the photos he took of my family. He is very pleasant to talk to and since we enjoyed his company, we also invited him to have lunch with us. We absolutely enjoyed the Hida beef restaurant he recommended! Thanks to TK we have the photos he took to remind us of the wonderful trip.
TK provided us with great tour and professional photos. Unforgettable experience, Highly recommended! A must do in the area.
TK-san was a fantastic guide and photographer! Our family had a wonderful time at Shirakawago and Takayama. We had great conversation with TK-san. Definitely recommend his service and we look forward to our next trip to the Kanazawa area.
We had an incredible day with Takatoshi-san, who was both an excellent tour guide and a skilled photographer, making the trip seamless and memorable. We went to Shirakawago in the morning, had lunch at a very nice Ramen shop in Takayama (Takatoshi-san's recommendation) and spent the afternoon wandering around the Old town of Takayama. Takatoshi-san really knew all the best photo spots and he took stunning pictures for us. Friendly, helpful, and professional, he truly went above and beyond to make our day special. Highly recommend this tour!
I completed the Takayama and Shirakawago tour with TK. I was going to propose to my girlfriend during the photo shoot, but TK was very supportive of the plan and the choice of the spot. He made it very easy and smooth. He has a very good personality and a wealth of knowledge about Shirakawa-go and Takayama
We had a great day exploring these beautiful places with TK whilst creating some gorgeous family photos. TK made the whole experience easy from booking to receiving the images very promptly. He was perfectly on time and kept the day running smoothly. We all enjoyed his company and he is considerate of the group’s needs. Importantly he takes beautiful photographs with a gentle manner and good sense of humour!
TK was patient and punctual. His English was excellent, and so too the photos he took. The days seemed so smooth and effortless: the pick up, drive there, casual and unhurried tour and photo shoot, free time and then lunch. Takayama and Shirakawago are beautiful spots to visit.
TK was our.tour guide and photographer formour day trip to Takayama and Shirakawago. His knowledge was great and we learnt a lot about each of the areas we visited. We are also usually very fussy about our photographs, but when we received the photos he took we loved them all. They were great. We would highly recommend him for both a tour and as a photographer.
