Customer Reviews
- Janette· October 1st, 2025Traveling through Japan with Irene is nothing short of extraordinary. Though she hails from Spain, her deep knowledge and appreciation of Japanese language, culture, history, and traditions shine through every step of the journey. Irene has a rare gift for connecting East and West, blending her warm Spanish charm with a thoughtful understanding of Japan’s unique spirit. She explains the country’s heritage with clarity and enthusiasm, making temples, markets, and hidden alleys come alive with meaning. Attentive, approachable, and full of positive energy, Irene makes every traveler feel comfortable and inspired. With her, Japan feels both excitingly new and warmly familiar — a true once-in-a-lifetime experience guided by someone who clearly loves what she does.Show more
