Kyoto Tour Reviews
Jozefins S.
“Private Kyoto tour”
First of all, Akira san is very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. We were very happy to see around Kyoto with him, learned about the history, culture and what is special in Kyoto. I did research before came to Japan especially Kyoto but something that I didn't know about is a place with tofu as a special dish. That's a bonus from this trip, me and my sister enjoyed the foods very much and already thinking where can I have a delicious meal like this when I am back to my country. We had a good time during the tour and definitely I recommend my friends or family to choose him when they are coming to Kyoto.

“A Wonderful Introduction to Kyoto”
Thanks to Akira, our first full day in Kyoto was a great introduction to the city. He arrived promptly in his very comfortable car and was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and very passionate about Kyoto and Japanese history. We explored a less-touristy section of the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest and surrounding area, visited Ryoan-ji Temple, and enjoyed lunch at a family-style restaurant with our food delivered by a robot! We also toured the Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji) and the incredible Sanjusangen-do Temple. Akira shared fascinating historical insights and offered excellent recommendations for the rest of our week in Kyoto!
Akira F.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you and introducing you to the beautiful city of Kyoto. I’m so glad you enjoyed exploring the quieter side of Arashiyama, visiting its beautiful temples, and experiencing some of Kyoto’s local food culture. I always enjoy sharing not only the famous sights but also the history, stories, and hidden corners that make Kyoto so special. I hope my recommendations helped make the rest of your stay in Kyoto even more memorable. It was a pleasure meeting you, and I sincerely hope to welcome you back to Japan again someday! Wishing you all the best on your future travels!

We had such a wonderful afternoon touring some of Kyoto’s top temples and shrines, along with some true hidden gems. Our guide was wonderful. Friendly, thoughtful and knowledgeable not just about the driving around Kyoto’s streets and alleys, but also about the temples and shrines themselves. I highly recommend this tour as a way to experience Kyoto!
