I had the opportunity to visit several filming locations from my all-time favorite movie, *Back to the Future*, including Marty’s house, Twin Pines Mall, Doc Brown’s house, and Hill Valley High School. The tour also included the Nakatomi Plaza building from *Die Hard*. At each location, our guide explained the scenes while showing us photos from the movies, which made the experience even more enjoyable. At Marty’s house, we were even lucky enough to speak with the couple who currently live there. I believe the timing happened to be perfect, and it became one of the most memorable moments of the tour. Standing at the actual filming locations made me feel as though I had stepped directly into a scene from the movie. It almost felt as if Marty and the other characters were right there beside me, and I was genuinely moved by the experience. Whether you are a fan of *Back to the Future* or simply want to experience the world of a movie you love, I highly recommend joining this tour. I usually travel around by rental car, but this tour allowed me to visit the locations efficiently while receiving detailed explanations from a knowledgeable guide. It was an excellent experience, and I would definitely recommend it.

We were so happy to visit so many filming locations, including Marty’s house, George and Lorraine’s house, Biff’s house, Doc Brown’s house, and the school. The people living at Marty’s house and even the neighbors were incredibly kind, which was such a wonderful surprise. George, Lorraine, and Biff’s houses were also located close to one another, making it possible to see several locations efficiently. Our guide explained which scenes were filmed at each place, so everything was easy to understand and much more enjoyable. They were also extremely knowledgeable about many other movies, and we had a great time listening to all the interesting stories. Although we booked the tour at short notice and only had a limited amount of time, the itinerary was arranged perfectly. We were able to visit all the places we wanted in a compact and satisfying tour. Thank you very much for such a wonderful experience!

This was my first time experiencing a movie location tour. I was surprised to see that the houses, buildings, and other filming locations still exist today. I am truly grateful to Imaikeru, who clearly loves movies, for guiding me around. I would definitely like to join another tour and have him guide me again. Thank you so much for a truly wonderful experience.

These were places I could never have visited on my own, so I was very grateful. I truly had so much fun! The car was spacious and comfortable, and I really enjoyed hearing many interesting stories along the way. They also kindly stopped by another place for us during the tour, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely like to ask for their help again, including for concerts or other occasions!

It was such a wonderful experience! Even during the drive, they played movie soundtracks and shared many interesting stories, so we were able to enjoy the time in the car as well. We were also able to meet the owner of Marty’s house, which made us extremely happy. Considering how many places we were able to visit, I felt the price was very reasonable. When I come to Los Angeles again, I would definitely like to book another tour. Thank you so much for this dreamlike experience! (^^)
