“Zen gardens, great conversation and a truly personal Kyoto”

My wife and I (we’re from Mexico) spent a day exploring Kyoto by private car with Akira. He took us to some of Kyoto’s most famous landmarks, but also to more special and intimate places, like peaceful Zen gardens that we would never have found on our own. Traveling by car made everything comfortable and easy, and the mix of well-known spots and quiet corners gave us a much fuller picture of the city. Akira is friendly, genuine and very easy to talk to. His English is very good, so we understood each other without any trouble. What we appreciated most was that he let us get to know Japan not only through its places, but also through his own perspective as a Japanese citizen. Those conversations gave the day a depth that no guidebook could offer. We highly recommend Akira to anyone who wants to experience Kyoto in a personal, authentic and relaxed way. Thank you, Akira, for such a memorable day!

“Wonderful visit!”

There are few words to describe how exceptional our driver was. Thanks to him, we had a wonderful day in Kyoto, very smooth and very instructive.

“Port Call Nara and Kyoto private tour for Group of 14 ”

We had a wonderful Nara and Kyoto excursion with Akita. He was friendly, professional and well organised, planning a packed itinerary that included transport and made excellent use of our limited time. His knowledge and thoughtful guidance helped us see so much and enjoy the day. Highly recommended!
