Hyogo prefecture is about 150km long in north-south direction. There are many sight seeing spots, not only Kobe, Himeji but also Izush-Toyooka, Tanba-Sasayama Awaji island.

“Kyoto has so much to offer!”
Yoshi showed us not only the sights but all the transportation modes in Kyoto. He was very well prepared, handing us printed information on different topics such as different eras and religions. He adapted the tour to our needs. The only negative comment is that his English is sometimes difficult to understand. We had a great day!

Yoshi, as he likes to be called, was very well prepared for our visit. Nijo castle was the highlight of our Kyoto visits. Unfortunately, we were too tired from the previous day to walk Philosophers path. Thank you Yoshi

“An Amazing Kyoto Tour with Yoshi”
My sister and I had an amazing and informative tour of Kyoto highlights with Yoshi. His tour captured the most magnificent sights of Kyoto. He was an outstanding guide, who had a good command of English, easily navigated the city and was very knowledgeable about the history, the people and culture of Japan. He shared some handouts with us which included a timeline of Japanese history and other interesting sights to see. He was kind, friendly and had a great sense of humor. Yoshi made our tour one of the highlights of our trip to Japan and we highly recommend him. Thank you, Yoshi! Warmest regards, Diana and Georgia
