“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.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you and your sister in Kyoto. I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed exploring the city, learning about its history and culture, and discovering some of its special local traditions. One of the things I love most about being a guide is introducing guests to experiences they might not find through ordinary travel research. I’m especially glad that you enjoyed Kyoto’s traditional tofu cuisine! It’s a very special part of Kyoto’s food culture, and I’m delighted that it became one of the highlights of your trip. I hope that whenever you think about Kyoto or enjoy Japanese food back home, you’ll remember the wonderful time we shared. Thank you also for your kind recommendation. Your support and warm words mean a lot to me and encourage me to continue sharing the beauty of my hometown with visitors from around the world. I sincerely hope to welcome you and your family back to Kyoto someday. There are still many more hidden gems and delicious local foods waiting for you! Warm regards, Akira

“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!

“Wonderful Tour of Kyoto Temples and Shrines”

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!
