“My 15-year-old daughter and I loved our tour with Nori! ”

My 15-year-old daughter and I had a fantastic day touring Kyoto with Nori! He was incredibly organized, responsive, and helpful during the planning process. His deep knowledge of history and culture made each stop in the Arashiyama area more meaningful, and it was such a relief to have him guide us effortlessly through trains, buses, and crowds. He was also so easy to be around—funny, kind, and very relatable. The highlight of our tour was Okochi Sanso, the stunning private garden we might never have discovered if not for Nori’s recommendation. It was an extremely hot day, and by the time we reached the Golden Pavilion, the line was so long we decided to pivot and go shopping instead—Nori led us to market spots where we found some of our favorite purchases, including sesame and wasabi snacks, a cutting board, a kiwi slicer, and Spingle shoes! (Nori—when my husband was feeling better, I took him to Spingle and we both ended up getting shoes there! :)) I highly recommend Nori—he’s an exceptional guide and a great guy!

“Fumi’s fabulous tour guide”

Fumi was such a fantastic and appreciative guide. At the beginning we had a quick history about all the sites and Japan we would visit which made the overall experience even more immersive. She took our wants into consideration and tailored the day accordingly. Fumi was so very friendly and kind, there was never a dull moment. It was so nice knowing the history behind each place we visited and learning more about the culture. What a joy the day was!

“Wonderful Experience with Jasmine as Our Guide in Kyoto!”

We had the pleasure of being guided by Jasmine during our visit to Kyoto, and it truly was one of the highlights of our trip. She is very knowledgeable about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems. She is also genuinely invested in giving her guests a memorable experience. 5 out of 5 :) Thank you Jasmine :) Jasmine took us to places we never would have found on our own :)
