What clients have said about tours with Fusao Ariga:
"We have just finished a 10 day walk of the Nakasendo Trail with Fusao Ariga of Japan Travelogue and have had a marvellous time. Fusao has been a fabulous tour guide and much more. Fusao's knowledge of Japan and its history, his choice of inns & hotels and his friendly style have all contributed to making this a great holiday. If you're looking to see some "real" Japan then the Nakasendo is thoroughly recommended." C.B. Australia
"We were led by Fusao Ariga of Japan Travelogue, who displayed a great combo of being reserved and informative, as well as flexible to our needs and readily made adjustments to situations that came up during the week's travel. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED especially if you want to get off the beaten path and enjoy unique experiences in a foreign culture." R.B. U.S.A.
"Our guide was Fusao Ariga. He's fluently trilingual (Japanese, English and Finnish (!), and is very knowledgable about the history of the trail and Japan in general.
