What a magical tour with TK, passionate and professional photographer (guide and driver!). He picked us up in Kanazawa and drove into the gorgeous, verdant mountains and to UNESCO's World Heritage Sites, Shirakawago and Gokayama. TK guided us through the historical villages (and knew residents personally!) and treated us to fun photoshoots! We felt pampered being professionally photographed and not having to worry about taking our own photos. Between the two villages, TK took us to a non-touristy restaurant featuring food we requested. We are thrilled with TK's photos of our visit and especially enjoyed spending time with TK, a very calm, personable and knowledgeable person. I would definitely do this again! TK is highly recommended!

Gokayama & Shirakawago are beautiful and amazing. So peaceful. TK's knowledge of these sites helped us image life in their heyday. And the photoshoot was fun and made us feel important.

Wow, what a fun day touring Shirakawago and Gokayama with TK! He picked us up at our ryokan in Takayama right on time in his spotlessly clean and comfortable minivan. The two-hour round trip drive was scenic and pleasant. Of course, the whole point was to see the best sights of Shirakawago and Gokayama and TK really delivered, aided in part by his timing of the itinerary to avoid the biggest crowds. While you might get that with any guide, what makes this tour special is TK's friendly personality and outstanding photography. He absolutely knew the best vantage points, shooting angles, and he composed wonderful photographs of us in the most beautiful, iconic Japanese village settings. Icing on the cake was the great restaurant he picked out for lunch. All in all, a superb day with TK. I highly recommend him.
