“Nori completely elevated our Kyoto temple-shrine experience! ”
We loved our 1/2 day customized tour, visiting our three most desired Kyoto temples & shrines - Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizudera and Kinkakuji (Golden Pavillion). Nori was organized, patient, super knowledgable, funny and supremely elevated our experience should we have done it alone or in a big trouble group. My 13 YO was super engaged & we both considered our 4 hours with Nori a Kyoto highlight. Highly recommend!!

“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!!
Keiko U.
Jennifer san, Thank you for the wonderful rating. I am very pleased to know that you are happy with the work that was done. More than that, "I " ENJOYED OUR TOUR! It was not a all-day-long tour though, it was packed with fun memories. Hope you like Japan! Hope you come back to Japan soon!! Keiko

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.
