“Phenomenal”
Exceptional tour, comfortable vehicle, highly knowledgeable guide, and memorable spots! I recommend lattes at the museum and eel in the town. If you’ve got a day to check out the most important battlefield in Japan, go with Koki!

“Super friendly & helpful Koki”
We initially booked Koki for a half day tour of Kyoto following our arrival in Japan the previous day. He was so engaging, personable, informative & helpful that we booked him for the whole of the next day which we had left free. I would wholly recommend Koki to you & offer my thanks to him once again in this review.

Christopher F.
“One day highlights of Kyoto: Fushimi-Inari (South Kyoto), Gion & lunch, Golden Pavilion (North West Kyoto) then back for sunset at Yasaka Jinja. ”
Koki was in contact with us from the start and very proactive in suggesting routes & things to see and asked us for ideas to incorporate into the day. He met us at the hotel & led us out on our day of discovery in Kyoto. It was a long day but well paced & we had a great stop for a sushi lunch in Gion before going North to the Golden Pavilion. All-in-all a good day. Koki was very informative throughout with lots of interesting & useful information about the sights, Kyoto & Japan more generally. He is a former schoolteacher so you can be sure that he has prepared for the day! Chris & Family

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!!
