Kyoto Private Car Tours

“Amazing day”

We had a great day with Akira-san visiting Uji & Wazuka. He was knowledgeable, easy to spend time with, and he even arranged a matcha milling experience in Uji that we didn’t know existed. It was a lovely surprise and one of the highlights of the day. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m delighted we could spend such a memorable day together in peaceful Uji, enjoying its finest matcha and learning about traditional Japanese tea culture. Visiting Byodo-in and discovering Japan’s history made the experience even more special. I hope we’ll have another opportunity to meet and create more wonderful memories in Japan.Thank you again, and I hope to see you someday!

“Family Tour”

Kane was a wonderful and patient guide with our family of four. We saw the best of Kyoto and even had time for some shopping and sake tasting. Highly recommended.

“An Exceptional Guide for Understanding Kyoto”

We had an outstanding day in Kyoto with Akira. What impressed us most was the depth of his knowledge. This was far from being a simple tour where you move from one monument to another. Akira truly brings Kyoto to life by constantly explaining the historical context, the traditions, the role of each place, and how everything fits into the broader history of Japan. He seems to know absolutely everything about his country and its history, and he is able to answer questions on an incredible range of topics throughout the day. For anyone who is genuinely interested in understanding Kyoto rather than simply seeing it, this makes a huge difference. The itinerary itself was extremely coherent, complete and very well thought out. We felt that every stop had a purpose and contributed to giving us a much broader understanding of the city. On top of being an incredible source of knowledge, Akira is also a genuinely lovely person to spend the day with: very kind, attentive, enthusiastic and always in a wonderful mood. A truly exceptional guide. We recommend him without hesitation!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I feel very lucky to have met you both, and I’m truly happy that I could show you some of the best of Kyoto. The weather was also on our side, giving us such a pleasant temperature for exploring the city during the summer. I think that was lucky for both of us—but most of all, I was lucky to have met you.Thank you for coming to Kyoto and for trusting my recommendations. I hope you enjoyed the food, the culture, and the experience. I really hope you’ll come back to Chengdu one day, and that we’ll have the chance to meet again. Thank you so much!
