Reviews
“Very accommodating guide”
Mana was very accommodating to our family of 4 for a tour of Kyoto. She definitely grew up up in the city & we appreciate her stories and even some Japanese lessons. I will say her English is a bit more broken up than we expected but we appreciated her hospitality and flexibility with our family.

Dear Cindy, How is your husband’s foot doing? December 28th is generally considered the last working day of the year, and I was fortunate to conclude my final work day of 2024 with a very polite and wonderful family. In the morning on New Year’s Day, the most important holiday for Japanese people, receiving your high-scoring review brought me such a refreshing and joyful feeling. It was as if I were a child receiving a special New Year’s gift (Otoshidama). During the New Year, we exchange greeting cards that are postcards called Nengajo, and I would like to include my wish that 2025 will be a wonderful year for you and your family. Thank you very much for giving me a high score review despite my clumsy English. I will continue to work hard and keep studying without using aging as an excuse. Mana

“nice 6 hour tour of kyoto”
mana was very efficient, child friendly and came prepared with child-friendly drawings to keep our 8 and 13 yo engaged throughout the 6 hour tour. we had 4 specific sites we wanted to visit and she was very amenable to customizing/planning for us. if you are the type who wants to stop/read every sign at a temple/shrine, just ask/request and i'm sure mana will slow her tour down. if you're the one who wants to speed/fast-forward like we did, she is the one for you also.
