“Great time around Kyoto ”

We had a wonderful day along with Fumi san. She was very nice and liberated our mind of when and where and how to get there. Allowing us to enjoy the sites without stress. She gave us a lot of information about the history with made the whole experience much more enjoyable.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. The time I spent with you was an unforgettable and valuable experience. I was impressed by your willingness to learn even more about Japanese history, despite your already extensive knowledge. I would love to see you again.

“Outstanding Experience in Kyoto – Highly Recommend Takashima!”

We had an absolutely wonderful day exploring Kyoto with Takashima, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! From the very start, he was the definition of professionalism—arriving perfectly on time in our hotel lobby with a warm and polite greeting. His communication skills are excellent; his English is incredibly clear and very easy to understand, which made our conversations and learning about the sites effortless. He possesses deep knowledge of Kyoto's history and culture, explaining everything thoroughly and bringing each location to life. What stood out to us the most was his amazing flexibility. We made several changes to our itinerary throughout the day, and Takashima accommodated every single one of them with grace and ease. Even though we packed a great deal into a single day, his pacing was masterful—he never made us feel rushed, allowing us to truly enjoy each moment. If you are looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and highly adaptable guide in Kyoto, look no further and book Takashima immediately!

“Very friendly, great communication and great service ”

We had a wonderful stress free time touring the Tokyo with Tak over 4 days. He created a fantastic itinerary that worked for us and our 20 year old daughter and boyfriend. He was quick to change plans as needed and always happy to answer our many questions. Would absolutely book a tour with him again.

Getting a new challenge is always appreciated for a guide like me. I search online, visit places, and imagine how I can explain things well. Through this process, I find new, wonderful places to show to future guests as well. These four days with your family gave me so many great experiences. Showing Ueno and Yanaka from a cultural lens, finding a shop for an authentic Shinobue flute, bar-hopping with small surprises, and on the last day, taking you to Nakano Broadway to fully satisfy your daughter and her boyfriend's GEEK hearts. I had some trial and error, and sometimes I was secretly sweating with nervousness! lol But in the end, seeing your happy faces made all my preparation worth it. Please visit Tokyo again, and get in touch with me. Next time, the beer is on me!
