“Fantastic Tours with Koichi”

Koichi is the best! We had two custom day tours with Koichi as a group of 7, one of Kyoto and the other Nara and Osaka. He is very kind, funny and good with kids. He has a lot of historical knowledge of the famous sites, brought along printed materials to show us to help us understand the history and culture of the various locations. He was very well prepared!! Our kids under 10 enjoyed his company and were not afraid to ask him many questions. I felt like he went the extra mile to accommodate our requests and the many many toilet stops for the kids. I would not hesitate to recommend Koichi to all our friends and family visiting Kyoto or Osaka. 10 out of 10!

Hi! Tim san, thank you for your wonderful review and comments. The two days spent with your family and your friend's family were truly enjoyable for me. I also appreciate your cooperation with the playful "mischief" meant to entertain your children. Please keep in touch! I look forward to the days you visit Japan and Kyoto again. Koichi

“Kaori’s resourcefulness helped rescue our trip”

We had reached out to Kaori to be our guide for 4 days across Kyoto and Osaka, little realizing at that time that her resourcefulness is what would help us to complete our Japan visit without missing a beat. When the morning after Day 1 my wife sprained her ankle, even before we stepped out of our hotel that morning, and I thought that this was the end of our visit, Kaori literally took charge! Always cheerful and confident, she sprang into action and with lightning speed arranged for a wheel chair, a cane to help my wife walk a little at the attractions, some medicines to help, hired a van (since we were 5 as a family) to travel point to point, and took us around to most of all the places we wanted to visit as if nothing had happened. For the next 3 days she was right by my side and on her own shared the responsibility to push the wheelchair almost half of the time, so I could be freer to explore the attractions more and take pictures. She even called up the airline’s Japan office and arranged for a wheelchair for my wife so that even at airports my wife could transit without any worries. Thank you, Kaori, for all your help beyond just being our guide. We simply could not have enjoyed Kyoto and Osaka without you!!
