“Nori completely elevated our Kyoto temple-shrine experience! ”
We loved our 1/2 day customized tour, visiting our three most desired Kyoto temples & shrines - Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizudera and Kinkakuji (Golden Pavillion). Nori was organized, patient, super knowledgable, funny and supremely elevated our experience should we have done it alone or in a big trouble group. My 13 YO was super engaged & we both considered our 4 hours with Nori a Kyoto highlight. Highly recommend!!

“Not an English guide”
Hiroshi may be a good guide, and he may have knowledge and insights into Kyoto, but he neither speaks, nor understands English, so there is no way for us to know.

“Miyu is wonderful ”
Visiting Hiroshima was important to everyone in our group. We went in knowing it would be difficult (it was devastating), but Miyu, with her vast experience and straightforward but compassionate approach was the perfect guide. We all genuinely enjoyed spending the day with Miyu and we learned a great deal. she is an exceptional guide.

Thank you very much for your generous, kind words. I am grateful that all of you took my words seriously. Thank you for coming all the way to Hiroshima. Today has been a significant day for me as well.
