His knowledge of history and culture enriched us. We shared common values and connected with our guide on a deeply personal level. Because of him we will carry long and happy memories of Kyoto.

(73 reviews)Hi Vik, Thank you for sending me a review. Nothing gives me more energy and stimulation than receiving a review. In Japan, we have a famous phrase, "ichi-go-ichi-e". It means "Once-in-a-lifetime chance." Our encounter may be the first and last. That's why each of us devotes him or herself to each other. This tour with you was really the exact tour of "ichi-go-ichi-e". All the photos with you will remind me of these sweet early-spring experiences. Thank you again.
“Very accommodating, friendly guide”
Mike is super kind, friendly and accommodating. He was excellent at communicating in advance of the tour. He gave us a very good high level overview of the key Nara sites and answered our myriad questions as best he could. He was energetic and didn’t mind being outside in the cold with us all day! He took many photos to share with us. Thank you, Mike!

(73 reviews)Hi Anna, Thank you for your warm review. Your good heart encourages me to move forward. Spending a full day traveling reminds me of my younger days and helps me adjust to the coming new era for younger generations. Whenever I saw photos in the past tours, I missed heartful tours with my clients. Still very cold. Please take care of yourselves. Mike
