“Rundgang in Kyoto”
Wir hatten eine Tagestour von 6 Stunden mit Robert gebucht. Robert hat uns sehr geduldig und ausführlich alles erklärt und sich viel Zeit genommen . Daraus wurden denn 8 Stunden. Wir haben viel von der Japanischen Kultur erklärt bekommen. Tempel, Japanischer Garten, Foodmarkt, verschiedene Viertel , Schrein, Kuchen und Eis essen alles war drin im Programm. Es war ein gelungener Tag trotz Regen . Vielen Dank

“100% Kyoto”
My family and I had one of the most beautiful and interesting days in Kyoto during our entire trip with Robert. I have rarely learned so much about a city in just six hours. Although the tour was filled with memorable moments and culinary experiences, I never once felt rushed or stressed. Thank you very much for this wonderful experience. 100% Kyoto! Mehr Kyoto geht nicht !

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!!

Hear the Hidden Sounds of Demachiyanagi • Sound Walk
What is a sound walk? It’s a walking meditation with a technical boost. Using professional microphones and headphones, you’ll hear the atmosphere of Kyoto. We’ll explore the Demachiyanagi neighbourhood, where ancient history and creative life sit side-by-side. You’ll record the clatter of the shōtengai (shopping street) and the warm sounds of the grand Shimogamo Shrine. You’ll leave with a high-quality "audio postcard" to transport you back to Kyoto for years to come.
