Thank you very much for your kind message. I am glad to know that you liked the tour. We talked a lot about Zen and the Pureland today. But there are a lot more to know about the faith in Japan. I hope that you will come back to Japan again sometime in the future. Hiro

“Excellent tour”
We highly recommend Yoshi as your guide for the Golden Temple tour. We visited 4 temples, took trains, the subway and a taxi to the sites. Yoshi directed us back to our subway station near Gion from Arashimaya station. Had Japanese Ramen for lunch close by one Temple. Yoshi was very knowledgeable with the ancient and current history for each site. He was flexible and customized our tour. His English was excellent too.

Hi Judy. Thank you so much for your nice comment on my tour in Kyoto. I am pleased that you liked the art museum near Jojakko-ji Temple in Arashiyama. I hope you will return home with lots of good memories of Japan and come back to Kyoto again during the autumn foliage season. Best wishes. Yoshie
