We had a fantastic night. The dinner was amazing, and our guide was informative and friendly. Unfortunately we missed the Sakura, but we weren't disappointed with this tour. I would highly recommend and can't wait to view the photos.

Outstanding and memorable food experience. One, Bruce knows his stuff, and Hakata knows him. You should see 'em jump to attention at the Ritz when he comes in. Second, he's responsive to what the client wants but third, most important, he's got a plan B for force majeure situations. We had a great walk and enjoyed a lunch of o-den and fresh tofu prepared various ways, al fresco on the lake, authentic and all local. An experience I couldn't have had on my own. Travel is too valuable to waste putzing around, get someone who knows the territory like Bruce to take you straight to the good stuff.
