“Keeping up with Yoshie!”

Yoshie San was an excellent guide who’s passionate about explaining all things Kyoto. He’s enthusiastic and committed to ensure we received the best experience during our day. While we were younger than Yoshie, we barely managed to keep up with him!! He’s in extraordinarily great shape!

“Experience the Best of Kyoto”

My husband and I spent two full days with Yoshi experiencing the Golden & Silver Routes. We were busy trying to accomplish as much as possible and Yoshi was great. His English is excellent and his knowledge of the sites visited was so helpful. A highlight was the lunch he arranged with explanations of the various courses and sake. We were very happy with Yoshi’s services.

I from Arashiyama to Sagano, one of the finest spots in Kyoto. In particular the view form Togetsukyo Bridge crossing over Katsura River is very impressive. Arashiyama is populary known for cherry blossoms in spring and beautifully changing colors of autumn leaves in autumn. You can enjoy walking through bamboo forests.
