Kyoto Private Tour Guides

“Outstanding Private Tour Experience with Takashi in Kyoto”

We had the absolute pleasure of spending a day in Kyoto with Takashi as our guide, and we could not be more impressed with the experience he provided. From the moment we met, Takashi was professional, kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and impressively organized. We had only six to seven hours to explore the city, and thanks to his planning, we were able to visit all the key sites on our list efficiently and comfortably, without ever feeling rushed. He knew exactly how to navigate the city, avoid crowds, and adjust the pace to match our group’s energy. Beyond the logistics, what truly stood out was Takashi’s passion for Kyoto’s history and culture—he shared fascinating insights at every stop, and his storytelling brought each place to life. Takashi also went out of his way to ensure everyone in our group felt welcomed and engaged—including my mother, who appreciated his thoughtfulness and care throughout the day. We’ve had many guides over the years, but Takashi’s combination of expertise, efficiency, and warm personality made this experience truly exceptional. We would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone visiting Kyoto. Thank you, Takashi, for a memorable and seamless day—we will always remember it!

“A complete tour of Tokyo”

We have had a very satisfying day with Hiro, visiting the best temples of Kyoto. Hiro is very passionate about his job, he really loves to explain to tourists the history and secrets of his Country. The tour was interesting and his explanation is quick but detailed and not boring. He explained for hours and even with extra time to complete the agreed schedule.

Dear Pietro I say thank you for your great reviews on one day tour in Kyoto. All of you must be surprised when you get into Sanjyu-Sangendo temple, where you felt like walking In the forest of Buddha ! After visiting at Nijyo jyo castle, you visited at Golden Pavilion temple. It was brightly shinning in the beautiful sunset. You were so lucky because you were able to watch the reflections of the Golden Pavilion ! I hope that you will have a nice trip at the rest of the day in Japan. Best regards Sep/8. Hiroshi Tokoyama

Hi Tatiana. Your daughter told me that she liked Jojako-ji Temple best on the Golden route. I am glad that your group members were friendly and very attentive to my talk. I am also pleased that you liked the two restaurants for lunch and dinner. Yoshie
