“abundant day”
our experience with yuta was really well! he was able to flex the itinerary regularly to include different sights to see, i highly recommend yuta when seeing the temples and shrines or any sights purely because he took us to these places and spots where it wasn’t as crowded. he was able to make us a video and continuously took photos of us (a choice we got to make) i enjoyed listening to his stories and talking with him, he was very interested into hearing about my birth country and how different it is here in japan. i recommend yuta as a tour guide ! he was very patient and led us to all the best spots easily with no hesitation, i really do recommend him

“Beautiful stories”
The day with Koki was amazing. He has a lot of knowledge about history and can tell a lot about any place you visit with him. It's clear that history is a passion for Koki. He also adjusted the plan to our needs and was very nice and funny. Thanks a lot Koki for this wonderful experience.

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.
