“Kyoto Foodie Tour w/ Kanae”
Kanae was absolutely amazing!! She took me to several nice spots where the food was delicious and not over priced like alot of the tourists spots!! Additionally we had great conversations about cultural aspects as it relates our countries! If you are ever in Kyoto and want more than a food tour but someone that cares about your experience please book with Kanae for a wonderful experience!

“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.
