“Gotta Go Kyoto with Yuriko”
Yuriko provided our family of 5 with a delightful tour of the Arashiyama district, Tenryu-ji Temple, and the Kinkaju-ri Golden Pavilion. She took us to a fun conveyor belt sushi spot (which she selected to accommodate my wife’s gluten intolerance). We highly recommend Yuriko!

Let's enjoy early morning Kyoto and maiko experience
Kyoto is one of the most popular places to visit, but so crowded. If you want to enjoy quiet Kyoto, I recommend you visit there early morning. In this tour, you can enjoy bamboo grove, morning coffee at a Japanese style coffee shop and beautiful river and mountains scenery from a wooden bridge. After that, why don't you try 'washoku', or Japanese cuisine and maiko, or cute apprentice geisha's dancing? My special early morning tour will give you wonderful and unforgettable memories in Japan!!
