“Couldn’t Imagine Kyoto Without Yoshie ”
Yoshie was the sweetest man, who won our hearts when he gave my daughter origami his wife made for her to start the trip. We saw so much in 1 day, and his “Golden Route” efficiently hit all the stops we wanted. He has great knowledge of Japan’s history and culture, and he knew the best spots to get brilliant photos. He also took us to a superb restaurant for lunch we wouldn’t have found on our own. He had energy in spades and you could tell he loves his tour guide work.

“Excellent guide for Kyoto”
Fumi gave us useful information about the sites in Kyoto (temples, bamboo farms, shopping districts) and picked a delicious restaurant for lunch. She was also patient with us despite the 41C heatwave. We highly recommend her.
