We had a perfect day with Yoshi. He was very good at communicating with us prior to our visit. He went to great lengths to make sure we knew how to reach each other as he was meeting us in Osaka at our ship. We travelled by bullet train which was quite a stimulating experience. Yoshi is very fit so he had a full day planned for us seeing The highlights we requested in Kyoto. He know the area very well and is kind and patient and service oriented in all respects. It was rather a whirlwind day to see everything we wanted to see. If I had it to do again I would spend several days in the area with him. We Focused on zen gardens Buddhist temples modern Kyoto architecture food where the locals eat UNESCO world heritage sites and national art treasures. We of course had to visit Gion where the Geisha practices still exist. It was a full fun day. He made sure we got back to our boat on time. He seemed to be well known by other guides at the sites we visited. He took time to call an ambulance for a woman who was hit by a car in a auto accident. He is a man of solid character and good nature. We enjoyed our day with him and only wish we could have had more time to spend.
Good evening, Natalie. Thank you so much for giving me such a wonderful review for today's tour. I am very pleased to learn that you and your friends had an exciting time with me in Kyoto. Today was just like lightning and thunder to me too, lots of things happening around us in so short a time. Maybe Wind God and Thunder God were watching us from Pure Land paradise. I hope you will have another chance of visiting Kansai region someday soon. I wish you the very best of luck! Yoshie
