Whether you seek a leisurely stroll through ancient history or a spirited trek across hidden trails, our Private Plan gives you the freedom to choose your path and the undivided attention of your local expert.

★Flexible Schedule: Meeting times and break times can be adjusted freely.

★Deeper Stories: Explanations of more specialized and niche history and culture that are not discussed in public events.

★Photo Concierge: Capture the best moments with your camera.

★Hotel Pick-up: Meet at a designated station or place of stay (Wakayama City, Koyasan temple lodgings, etc.).

★Customized Pace: If you get tired, take a break at a cafe, or if you see an alley that catches your eye, take a detour.

★Professional Assistance: I provide interpretation services when using a taxi and support for same-day restaurant reservations.
