Kyoto Private Tours

“Koto lesson”

My koto lesson was one of the best moment I had during my trip. I had the lesson in a traditional home, and the sound of the koto is sensational. Harumi is a fantastic teacher, and I even received the sheet music for the traditional song "Sakura Sakura," which I played. At the end of the lesson, I also enjoyed another version of the song played by her. I was speechless! Highly recommended, this is an experience that will immerse you in Japanese tradition.

“Wonderful Experience”

My family and I were lucky enough to spend about 3 full days with Masahisa in Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka. On the date of our arrival in Kyoto, Masahisa picked us up at Kyoto Station, helped us store our bags in the lockers, and then showed us around Kyoto that afternoon. Afterwards, we collected our bags and headed to Nara. The following days were spent exploring Kyoto and Osaka. Masahisa came prepared - he provided us with our customized itinerary and maps of the areas we were to visit (which we carefully planned weeks and months in advance of our trip) for the few days that we were to be together. It was a pleasure having him explain the various cultural aspects of the locations we visited. He is extremely friendly and great to be around; we immensely enjoyed our time with him. You know our days were great and fulfilling when we were very sad to say goodbye. It's clear that Masahisa takes great pride in providing a wonderful and memorable experience for his guests. We cannot recommend Masahisa enough!

“perfect for us!”

Toshiyo is a very kind, organized person who knows how to do his job very well. She knows how to balance time and organize trips in the most efficient way. We spent two wonderful days with her.
