One Day Tour with the picturesque scenery in Kyoto
“We highly recommend Atsuko-san!”
Atsuko-san was very warm and welcoming. My daughter was very comfortable around her and enjoyed her company while she toured us around Fushimi Inari, Nijo Castle and Kyoto station. She was very accommodating to us asking her so many questions about the places we visited and was very patient with all of our needs. We really are happy we have her as our guide in these wonderful places. Arigato gozaimasu, Atsuko-san! Hoping we'll get to work with you again when we visit Kyoto, Osaka or Nara area one day! :)

“abundant day”
our experience with yuta was really well! he was able to flex the itinerary regularly to include different sights to see, i highly recommend yuta when seeing the temples and shrines or any sights purely because he took us to these places and spots where it wasn’t as crowded. he was able to make us a video and continuously took photos of us (a choice we got to make) i enjoyed listening to his stories and talking with him, he was very interested into hearing about my birth country and how different it is here in japan. i recommend yuta as a tour guide ! he was very patient and led us to all the best spots easily with no hesitation, i really do recommend him

(14 reviews)Hello, Trinity! You and your mother were very friendly and I really enjoyed the tour. You especially liked Japanese subculture, so I was able to talk a lot about the same theme, which was also fun. Although it was a short time, I am glad that you enjoyed Kyoto to the fullest. Please come to Kyoto again!
