Great Tour of Kyoto

This was our first visit to Kyoto and we had an ambitious sightseeing plan for our time in Kyoto. Kenji made it not only possible but truly enjoyable. From the start, he was very responsive and worked with us to design a tour that included all the locations we wanted to visit. When we met him at our hotel, he gave us a clear, well-organized schedule that made the most of our day while keeping a comfortable pace. Kenji brought along visual aids and informative handouts that provided valuable context about each temple and shrine we visited, as well as insights into Shinto and Buddhism. These resources were especially helpful in bridging any language gaps and gave us a much deeper understanding of Kyoto’s rich cultural sites. Kenji’s planning was impeccable — he timed our visits so that we could experience popular spots without the crowds. For example, when we arrived at the Bamboo Forest, it was nearly empty, which made it even more special. Throughout the day, Kenji expertly guided us from the southeast to the northwest of Kyoto, covering all our must-see spots efficiently and without feeling rushed or tired. We truly appreciated his knowledge, thoughtful planning, and the care he took to make sure we had an unforgettable day in Kyoto. We highly recommend Kenji to anyone looking to explore Kyoto with an insightful and well-prepared guide!

Fantastic - Highly Recommend Kahoko

We had the pleasure of having Kahoko as our guide for two days in Tokyo, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive and worked closely with me to plan an itinerary that included places and activities that would interest my teenagers. As this was our first visit to Japan, we had some apprehension, but having her guide us put us completely at ease. She created a thoughtful and well-paced schedule for both days and even helped us adjust it smoothly when the weather changed. She expertly navigated us through Tokyo’s metro and on foot, allowing us to see and experience so much of the city efficiently. At every stop, she provided interesting insights and context that deepened our appreciation for the sites and for Tokyo itself. She was attentive to everyone in our group, chose excellent local spots for lunch, and made sure we were comfortable throughout. Beyond our two days with her, she gave us helpful tips for the rest of our trip, including clear advice on getting around the city and on our train journey to Kyoto. Thanks to her, we felt more confident exploring on our own and gained a better understanding of Japan’s culture and daily life. We truly enjoyed our time with her and highly recommend her to anyone visiting Japan — especially first-time visitors.
