“Amazing trip to Kyoto thanks to Koki”
Koki was fantastic. Super accommodating, knowledgeable, flexible and fun. He had wonderful restaurant recommendations, was patient when I wanted to shop and we got to see everything we wanted to see. We could not recommend him enough 10/10. The driver was extra grea,t because we didnt have to rely on public transportation. That was extra but so worth it.

Hi Lynn, I am honored to receive your very kind feedback. We were able to tour around Kyoto efficiently by taxi in a 3 days. On the first day, Kiyomizu-dera temple was a little busy because there were so many people, but on the second day, Ryoanji temple, Golden Pavillion(Kinkakuji), Nijo-jo castle and Nishiki market on the third day, we were able to enjoy them slowly. We were also able to enjoy karaoke in the short time we had in Kyoto. Kyoto is a wonderful city where you can enjoy spring, summer, fall, and winter. Please come again. Next time, if you would like to go somewhere other than Kyoto, please let me know. I look forward to seeing you again soon. Koki

“Amazing Experience!”
I had a great day with Koki. Learning to Ayu fish was a blast. He also took us to see traditional cormorant fishing at night. We even got a better view than some of the people who paid to be out in boats! He made everything go smoothly throughout the whole day. Highly reccomend. This was the highlight of my trip so far.
Koki N.
Hi Joshua, Thank you very much wonderful comment. How did you enjoy the taste of ayu fish from Nagara River? I hope you will stay in Gifu for a week or so next time and enjoy ayu tomozuri fishing. It was a beautiful day and we were able to enjoy the cormorant fishing from the shore. We look forward to seeing you again. Koki

“Great experience in Takayama”
We had a great experience with Koki, learning and experiencing Japanese culture. Koki arranged a few activities for us including Tea Ceremony where we could try to do it ourselves. We appreciate his flexibility in dealing with us

Let's enjoy early morning Kyoto and maiko experience
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!!

One day bike tour to southern part of Kyoto, Uji and Fushimi
In this tour, we can visit all the must-see places in the southern part of Kyoto together. Fushimi, known for the Fushimi Inari Shrine with its thousand torii gates and sake breweries, and Uji, famous for its matcha and the Phoenix Hall, each hold a unique position in Kyoto. During this tour, I, who have lived in Uji for three years and now work in Fushimi, will share the charm of these two towns from a local's perspective, as we explore by bicycle.

Hear the Hidden Sounds of Demachiyanagi • Sound Walk
Kyoto rewards those who listen. From a classic shōtengai (covered shopping street) to sacred forest, we use professional microphones to capture everyday city textures and quiet shrine atmospheres. I’ll show you simple recording methods, then edit your sounds into a personal 'audio postcard' after the walk. Curious about pace, group size, or timing? Message me and we’ll shape it together.
