Gifu, my hometown has a lot of beautiful nature and traditional cultures, such as river boat, nostalgic street, and big Golden Buddha Statue. I'm sure you can enjoy it.
Why don't you enjoy Gifu with me?

I also dress you kimono if you want.

“Unforgettable two days in Kyoto and Osaka!”
Where to begin! Starting from the planning of the tour, Yuriko was patient and understanding with the absurd amount of suggestions I made for our full day tours in Kyoto and Osaka. Our family was a huge group - 12 people - so we are extremely appreciative of Yuriko and her willingness to accommodate to every single one of us! As for the tour days, Yuriko was punctual and brought a bag full of information/notes she has on the sites we had planned to visit. You can immediately tell Yuriko takes pride in her work: At the various sites, Yuriko introduced the culture, history & ancient myths of Japan which was very interesting to learn; She had hand-written notes to help us visualize and understand the intricate history and symbolisms (truly like a teacher!). Also, Yuriko gave activities for the children to make the site visits much more fun & interesting! Yuriko's friendly nature made it easy for us to converse, she talked to us about everything we could think of, from her hometown, food, traditional clothing and even her family! At the end, Yuriko surprised us with souvenirs made personally by her family, which we all cherish dearly. Overall, Yuriko is an exceptional tour guide and is even better to know personally. Her fluent English along with her dedicated work ethic make her one of the best tour guides I've ever had. I highly recommend her to everyone!!

(43 reviews)Wow!! Thank you so much for such a long and heartwarming comment, Gabriel san. I also had unforgettable two days in Kyoto and Osaka with your cheerful family. You were always so kind to me that I could guide you comfortably with lots of fun. At the end of the two days tour, I felt so sad to say "Good bye" to your family because I felt like you all are my real family. Please come to Japan with your nice family again! (Next time's destination must be my home prefecture, Gifu, right?)

“An amazing day in Kyoto”
We spent a most enjoyable day in Kyoto with Yurico yesterday. Her knowledge was incredible and we truly took a step into the life of the Maiko and Geiko. The Temples and Shrines were fantastic. Yurico was friendly and informative, we would wholeheartedly recommend her tour. Thank you Yurico x

(43 reviews)Thank you for your quick and wonderful comment! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed Kyoto tour around Gion area and Maiko experience. I also had a great time with you and your husband. Kyoto has a long history and deep culture, so please come to Kyoto again. If you visit Kyoto in July, you'll enjoy gorgeous Gion Festival. Gion Festival is held during a month, but there are special days you can enjoy special events. Please refer to below's information. (The popular Yoiyama Festival is held from July 14th to 16th, followed by July 21st to 23rd, during which Komagata lanterns are lit and Gion music is played. The highlight of the festival is the Yamahoko Procession, which takes place on July 17th and July 24th, with the Yamahoko parading through the streets of Miyako.) Many thanks, Yuriko
