“A spectacular day!”
Fumi was AMAZING. Good communication leading up to our day made meeting super easy. We stuck to the written itinerary really well but didn’t feel rushed at all. Fumi was always ready to take our picture. My only regret is not asking her to be in one with us. I chose Fumi for a few reasons but one was I figured she would make my teenager the most comfortable. And I was right. She was so easy to get along with. Very knowledgeable and fun. I really can’t say enough good things about her. Fumi made our day in Kyoto the perfect experience we were hoping for

Thank you very much for writing a wonderful review. I'm happy that you and your family enjoyed the tour. It was extremely hot day, but you had a lot of energy to complete the tour. I hope to see you again in Kyoto.

“Wonderful experience with Keiko!”
We just loved Keiko! We had one day with Keiko and it was one of our best days on our trip to Japan. Kyoto was very busy so she recommended a town outside Kyoto. It was so beautiful and the best decision to go see some temples outside very busy Kyoto. We got to talk and learn more about Japanese culture during our drive. She was like meeting an old friend who was showing us around. She was extremely personable, friendly, knowledgeable, sweet and funny. She was very good with my preteen daughter. You can tell she is very passionate about sharing Japanese culture with you. I cannot recommend Keiko enough!!

“Family sightseeing in Kyoto on a hot summer day”
We had a fantastic day with Kaz visiting some of Kyoto‘s most exciting sites like Kiyomizu Temple, Fushimi Inari Shrine and Sanjusangendo Temple. Kaz was very knowledgeable about the sites and Kyoto history and made the tour an excellent experience for the whole family. My teenage daughters enjoyed hearing about contemporary Japanese culture along the way. It was a hot day and she allowed for plenty of refreshment stops and a tasty lunch. We also managed to sample some local specialties. To finish it all off at the end of the day she shared some tips about Gion and local restaurants with us. Altogether a brilliant day for the whole family. We highly recommend a tour in Kyoto with Kaz. Steffen, Anna, Amelia & Phoebe, London, UK
