“A little disappointment”
There is no doubt that Toshiyo is very knowledgeable. We may have had excessive expectations after reading the many praises. But we found a passive guide with somewhat poor human relations. It may be a matter of cultural differences or she was having a bad day.

(235 reviews)Thank you for having me as a guide and writing me the review. In this high season the places have been full of people and I concentrated on navigating the less crowded and less stressful route. I hope you enjoyed Kyoto and our culture. Thank you for coming here. Regards. Toshiyo
