Reviews
Taku was a great guide who gave us many interesting facts about the castle and imperial palace. He was very friendly and took his time in answering our many questions. We really enjoyed the tour and learning about Japanese culture! Thanks Taku.
I would love to have Goku as a tour guide any time! Knowledgeable, friendly, flexible, considerate, and personable. Nijo Castle is powerful and serene at the same time, and the gardens of the Imperial Palace are beautiful.
Goku was a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable about both Nijo Castle and the Imperial Palace. We undoubtedly learned far more than we would have on our own. He managed to strike a great balance with a somewhat mixed group, catering to those interested in history as well as those more focused on taking photos. We’d highly recommend booking a tour with him.
