“An amazing day in Kyoto”
We couldn't have had a better day with Akira guiding us through Kyoto. His passion for sharing his knowledge made each visit so much more enjoyable. We learned so much more than if we visited these sites on our own. He took us from site to site in his car (very comfortable and spacious). This was so much better than having to rely on public transportation! So many times throughout the day he took us to the side away from all the tourists and showed us something remarkable that everyone else just walked by without even a second thought! He's such a fun person and we enjoyed spending th day with him. At the end of our tour he even made sure we got to where we needed to be for our tea ceremony. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone!
Akira F.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I truly appreciate your kind words. I honestly enjoyed the experience just as much as you did. Spending time with both of you was a real pleasure. We shared a lot of history, and beyond that, we also talked about many aspects of life and society in Japan today. Even though our time together was only eight hours, it felt very meaningful to me, and I also learned a great deal from our conversations. I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the comfort of the car, and thank you sincerely for sharing your beautiful photos. It means a lot to me, and it also allows many others to enjoy and appreciate those moments as well. Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I truly hope to welcome you back to Kyoto in the future, perhaps together with your children next time. Warm regards, Akira Fujimoto

“Wonderful tour of Kyoto with car”
My wife and I had an amazing experience with Kanae O. She was such a lovely and warm tour guide. She took us to the best Kyoto sites and knew just the right spots to walk to. We really appreciated having her car to transfer between sites. With only one day available in Kyoto we were able to navigate with ease and comfort between key attractions. We finished our tour with a wonderful ramen lunch at a venue that only locals would be able to find. We leave Kyoto so well informed and so happy with our tour. Thank you Kanae O.
