Dear James, Thank you for your nice comments for the tour. I am so glad that you have enjoyed the tour. It was a bit earlier to see the full blossoming of cherry trees in Kyoto, but other flowers such as azalea, weeping cherry blossoms support the spring atmosphere, which we enjoyed. Thanks for your cooperation to make the tour successful. Also Thanks for your choosing me of your guide. Makoto

“Recommended tour”

Makoto is very organized. From the beginning he gave us some printed materials about Japan history and showed us the sites to visit on the map. He is very skilled to navigate in the crowd (Kyoto is very crowded!). He was flexible and included 2 additional incredible sites for us to enjoy. Also he gave some useful information about getting to Nara and Uji using the trains. I recommend this tour with Makoto.

I also enjoyed very much to guide you these places including the new additional places, as these additional placed can be known to the people, who understand the culture and history of Japan so much. It was so good that there is not so many visitors there also. I hope that you come to Japan again to exchange the culture. Thanks again for your choosing me of your guide. Makoto

There are so many great places in Kyoto that you probably want to visit but perhaps not enough time. Also, Kyoto is getting very crowded due to a lot of foreigners visiting there. It is best to have a local person guiding you to come up with a plan that suits your preference. I can create a tour with you which includes not only popular places like the Golden Pavilion and Fushimi Inari but small temples with Wabi Sabi such as those in Sagano and the oldest Japanese sweet shop in Murasakino.
