Enjoy Nintendo for Kids and Gamers
Kyoto is famous for its temples and shrines. If you go with kids, it's hard to have an interest in history for kids. Kyoto has Nintendo headquarters. If you are a fan of Nintendo games, I recommend this tour of places related to Nintendo, led by a storyteller. We will drop by Pokémon Center, the Nintendo Shop, and the Used Toys Shop. You can enjoy shopping also.

“Half day Kyoto”
Our tour with Eco was amazing. He is very knowledgeable and we have learned a lot about Buddhism and Shintoism. We also went to off the track places which was very special. We strongly recommend a tour with Eco!

“Amazing day in Kyoto with an amazing guide!”
I thoroughly enjoyed the Kyoto tour with Leo. He picked us up early at our hotel and guided us through the city. It wasn’t just the historic stories that were interesting, in between the historic sites he also took us to some places that were interesting to our teenagers in the group. He also engaged with everyone in our large group to see what they’re interested in, what they had seen so far in Japan and just making sure we are having a good time and stay hydrated. At the end of the trip it turned out our planned lunch stay was on the way to his train station, so he was kind enough to take us there as well.

Private Tours in Kyoto
Unlock the mysteries of Kyoto with a local tour guide! From temples in Gion to lush gardens in Arashiyama, discovering Kyoto’s global appeal is one click away.
Ready to cool off from the day’s heat and high activity? Book a tour to the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, a mesmerizing forest of towering bamboo stalks. While a popular destination, private tour guides can lead you off the beaten path to explore lesser-known trails and rest stops, allowing you and your travel team to escape the crowds and rest in the peaceful ambiance of the grove.
Beyond the visual appeal, your Kyoto tour guide can share stories about the significance of bamboo in Japanese culture overall, and help you gain appreciation for Arashiyama's natural beauty in a more intimate way.
