“Two Days in Kyoto ”
Yuta thank you so much for an amazing two days. Everywhere was absolutely amazing!! I am so glad I chose you as my guide. I felt like I was being shown around Kyoto not by a “guide” but by a friend I had known for years. If you are visiting Japan please book with Yuta. He is great!! Looking forward to a fishing tour in the future. Hahaha
Yuta I.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed the past two day truly felt like I was exploring Kyoto with an old friend as well. The adventure at Nanzenji in the rain was such a unique experience, wasn’t it? And having sukiyaki together was definitely one of the highlights for me! Please take care, and I hope to see you again in Japan someday!

“This was goid”
This was a nice tour. Suji- San took care to suggest changes to the itinerary that were best. A guide is a hard job as there are many things not in direct control.
Shuji O.
Thank you very much for the review! We had a wonderful time on our tour of Kyoto. The scenery was stunning, especially the lush greenery. We enjoyed visiting many places, although it started to rain at the end. Please remember this tour through the lovely photos. Thank you!

“Selfless guide to work with”
I was unable to do a tour directly with Nori san, but he took it upon himself to act as the middleman and facilitate a tour with a friend of his not yet on gowithguide who turned out to be an excellent guide for our group. Nori was an easy and eager guide to communicate with and plan out a detailed and personalized itinerary. I felt that this was particularly kind and unexpected since it was for a tour that would ultimately be hosted by someone else! It was much appreciated.
Nori I.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate it. I am very glad that you enjoyed the tour. Hope you can come to Japan again in the future. Take care!

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.
