Great way to see the Moji area - Our guide Rei took us all over Moji. It was raining so we amended our itinerary. Took a ferry and cabs. Our most favorite thing was having tea by ourselves overlooking the garden and enjoying the rain. Truly a special time. We viewed shrines and loved our curry lunch. Rei was lovely. She had lived in Lexington Kentucky and her English was superb. Would highly recommend her.

Our guide Rie Mihara - We were extremely satisfied with Rie Mihara as our guide. She came up with an itinerary that accommodated our interests but also showcased her connections to the area and its people. She also made sure we were able to enjoy the sights not too rushed, She helped us hire a van and made reservation for lunch at a seaport restaurant which was an excellent choice.
