“Perfect day in Kyoto”
We asked to visit Arashiyama bambo forest, Nijo-jo castle and Fushimi inari for our Kyoto day. The travelling was well planned and the transfer between places was smooth. Toshiyo's english was perfect, and she shares a lot of historic and cultural facts. She even took the bus with us to make sure we return safely after the tour, as we were not familiar with the bus line. We really liked our tour and recommend Toshiyo for your Kyoto tour. We will book another visit with Toshiyo for our next trip to Japan.
Toshiyo O.

“Great tour with a very expierenced guide”
The two of us took a seven-hour day tour with Toshiyo. The tour was very interesting and well-organized. Toshiyo is a very good and experienced guide from Kyoto. She is very friendly and has a wealth of in-depth knowledge of Kyoto, Japanese culture, history, and religion. Her English is excellent, and she showed us and explained many interesting details. We visited the Fushimi Inari Shrine, the Sanjūsangen-dō Temple (1001 Buddhas), the Ginkaku-ji (Silver Pavilion), the small and very beautiful Honen-in Temple, the Philosopher's Path, and the Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion). Toshiyo discussed the route with us and was very flexible. We took a break in a small and charming café. The conversations were very pleasant and lively. Thank you so much for this wonderful day! We highly recommend a tour with Toshiyo. Philipp & Dominik from Munich, Germany

Gion is the area of entertainment, where there are many bars and taverns. Some important business and political talks have been conducted. You may run across Maiko and Geiko, Japanese entertainers in kimono. If you want to wear Japanese costume in Gion, I can arrange with extra charge. NIshiki market is the kitchen of the Kyoro, where local people buy their everyday food. Fish stores, vegetable stores, pickles stores and so on. A friend of mine owns a Yuba shop in the market. Yuba is vegan, dairy-free ,gluten free,preserve-free, additive-free and protein rich. You can see the yuba making process.

Katsura Imperial Villa and Fushimi Inari
Katsura Imperial Villa is too beautiful to express! In the early Edo period, Prince Toshihito, who excelled in both literature and the martial art from childhood, built the Villa. That is both tasteful and simple. We need to apply for the Imperial Household Agency to get in. I will apply for you by postcard. It takes an hour to see the villa by the special guide of the villa. The fee is free.
