“Excellent Day in Kyoto”

We really enjoyed our day with Masahisa-san. He is absolutely chock full of knowledge and shared many interesting facts with us for every place we went and for many things we saw in passing as well. We saw so much with him, some off the beaten path and some major tourist things. The suggestion from him to apply for the Imperial Garden lottery was excellent and we were grateful for the opportunity. He even took the time to prepare excellent resources for more things to do and see in Kyoto. He also took many excellent pictures of our group, We felt very lucky to have Masahisa-san as our guide. Thank you very much!

“Kyoto tour with Shuji”

What a learning experience with Shuji in Kyoto. We explored the iconic temples and shrines, Arashiyama bamboo forests and gardens galore! But , also, off the beaten places such as the hydroelectric project, that included the canals and Roman style aqueduct. We had a delicious tonkatsu lunch. We walked, took trains and taxis and enjoyed Shuji’s knowledge and friendly nature! Wonderful guide in Kyoto!

Thank you so much for the great review! The fall foliage has just begun, so we were able to avoid the crowds. We were so lucky to enjoy every place we visited. Thank you for your kindness during the tour. We truly had a wonderful time. Enjoy your time in Japan!

“Guía en español que de verdad conoce Kioto”

Fumi nos hizo el día en Kioto. Cálida desde el primer momento, conoce la ciudad a fondo y respondió cada pregunta con contexto que nunca habríamos conseguido por nuestra cuenta. Su español es impecable y nos mantuvo informados todo el camino. Muy recomendada

Muchas gracias por escribir una reseña tan maravillosa. Me alegra mucho que hayan disfrutado del tour. Estoy segura de que ambos se llevaron muchos recuerdos maravillosos de su primer viaje a Japón. Espero con ansias su regreso a Kioto.

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.
