“Exceed expectations!”
It was wonderful day in Kyoto! Koki is lovely person and very well organized. All trip was prepared and planned perfectly, but also he surprised me showing charming places in Kyoto not often visited by tourist. Thanks to him I found charm of old Japanese capital. I experienced tea ceremony in old temple wearing exceptional kimono. Sorry, we had only one day trip! I hope to come back one day. I recommend this guide to everybody with all my heart. My memories are wonderful.

Hi Jola san, I am truly honored to receive such wonderful comments. Joja-san looked absolutely stunning in your kimono. The color coordination was perfect. Please do come to Kyoto next time with your daughter. Stay for a leisurely visit and enjoy Kyoto to the fullest! I sincerely look forward to seeing you again in the near future! Koki

“Awesome day in Kyoto!”
Our family did a one day tour of Kyoto with Koki - and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our entire Japan vacation! Koki was super personable and obviously very familiar with the region. In addition to taking us to the more popular (and crowded) sites in Kyoto - he also steered us to some lesser known places - which we truly appreciated as a way to avoid the crowds of people. We highly recommend Koki if you're considering a guide in Kyoto!

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!!

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.
