Kobe Tour Reviews
“Tour in Kyoto & Kobe”
Yoshi is a very nice person, he guided us through the golden and silver pavillion, as well as a city tour through Kobe. His recommendation for lunch and dinner were great. It was sometimes hard to follow his explanations, he needs to improve his English skills. Also, when asked something particular of the Japanese culture and history, constantly he didn't know the answers. While on Kobe he made us walk through very steep streets just to show us a neighborhood which was not that relevant to us westerners.

(188 reviews)Thank you for your review for my tour in Kyoto and Kobe. I will try to improve my explanations so that non-native speakers of English can well understand our history and culture. I am sorry if you were not so much interested in Former Foreigner's residential area on the steep hills in Kobe. Yoshie
“Very impressive Knowledge about Kyoto‘s history”
We had a great day with him. We learnt a lot and are very happy to have him tomorrow again.

(188 reviews)Hi Patrick. Thank you very much for such a quick review for today's tour. I really had a pleasant time guiding and talking with you two. I am glad that I can guide you tomorrow, too. Have a good night! Yoshie
“Absolute wonderful ????”
Yoshi greeted us with h a smile and a gift of origami that his lovely wife made for us. We headed on the Golden route for a day of jaw dropping temples, serene gardens and hidden gems. A delicious lunch of ramen refuelled us for the afternoon. We walked around 15kms and caught local train lines. Learnt about the history of Japan geographically and also some the of the arts and poetry that Yoshi was very fond of. It was delightful! We were sad to part and our family of 5 (including 3 teenage sons) loved spending time with Yoshi. We recommend you take at least $300 cash (for a family our size) for temple entries (about $20-30 each temple), lunch, souvenirs etc. and don’t forget your Goshuinchou book for temple stamps for a precious keepsake. We highly recommend this full day out with Yoshi :)

(188 reviews)Hi Katrina. I really appreciate your kind review for my tour in Kyoto. I had a fun time guiding and talking with you and your family. I am very pleased to learn that you enjoyed the essay of Yoshida Kenko, a Buddhist priest, and the waka poem of Fujiwara no Teika, a renowned waka poet. I hope you will continue a pleasant tour and return home with lots of nice memories of Japan. Best wishes. Yoshie
