She helped us navigate the transit system and took us to an amazing traditional restaurant for lunch. We visited Nijojo Castle, the Tenryuji Temple and the Bamboo Forest. We then went on to the Golden Temple. Her explanations of the sites and their history was invaluable. It helped that Tomoe’s english was excellent. We couldn’t have done it all on our own.

Jasmine was such a delightful and helpful guide. She had good knowledge of historic sites as well as Japanese culture. I would highly recommend her

Nuestro Tour del Dia

Fue excelente ese Tour! Gracias a la Sra. FUMI, nos recogió puntual en el hotel y por su trabajo en explicarnos la historia de cada templo que visitamos. Gracias denuevo por la atención y si vas a Kyoto te la recomiendo.
