Mount Koya Private Tour Guides

“Amazing experience ”

We have travelled a lot and had many guides, and Hiroyuki is likely the best. We visited Koyasan with him and were very impressed with the depth of his knowledge and understanding of its history and traditions. He is very professional, an excellent communicator with fluent English paired with an appreciation of various cultures. We also found him very well organized and accommodating. He is flexible and adapted the tour to our circumstances and needs. We would definitely have him guide us again if we revisit Japan!

Thank you very much for your kind message. It was a cold day, but it was really nice spending time with you at Koyasan. Koyasan is a special place for me. And it is a special place for people like you who respect our culture. You showed a lot of respect and interests to our culture and religions. I appreciated it very much. Please take good care of yourself, I hope our lines cross again in the future. Thank you very much once again. Hiro

“Excellent Guide - Koyasan ”

Hiro was a very knowledgeable guide. He explained the very well the history and central tenants of esoteric Buddhism. All new information for us. He was punctual and answered all our messages in a timely manner. We loved our time exploring this very beautiful and tranquil village. We were also very appreciative of his help navigating the train system. He was very kind helping us with this, in fact he went out of his way to assist. The whole experience felt genuine and authentic. Thank you Hiro for introducing us to Esoteric Buddhism. You did it with grace and charm. Mandy and Shane

Thank you very much for your kind message. It was really nice spending time with you at Koyasan. The ceremony we saw was a ceremony for the new head priest. It is really rare to see it. We were blessed by Buddha and Kukai.
