“Kyoto with Koki”
Kyoto with Koki was a rewarding experience. He explained what we were going to see and how we were going to get there.Buses ,train and subway.He took us to many temples ,shrines and japanese gardens and gave us a brief knowledge of what we we had come to see with little extras along the way.we had lunch a traditional japanese restaurant and he explained what we were eating which made the experience more enjoyable. If you book Koki as your guide you will not be disappointed,he can tailor it to your needs. We wish to thank him again for a memorable day in kyoto we will never forget.

Hi Andrew Thank you very much for taking part in my tour today. I am very grateful for your kind words of praise. Today's tour was a bit rushed, but I hope I was able to show you some of Kyoto's wonderful places. Kyoto is a place where you can enjoy different aspects of spring, summer, autumn and winter. I hope you will have the opportunity to visit us in the cherry blossom season. Looking forward to seeing you again in the near future. Thanks & Regards Koki

“Expert local knowledge and thoughtful planning”
Mr Koki did an outstanding job planning out one-day tour at Kyoto with key sights per my request, not only the sequence of location, but also the time spent at each site and the efficient logistics traveling from one site to another. We were very impressed with his in-depth knowledge and story-telling about the historical and cultural background of those famous sites at Kyoto as well as the local traditions. He also introduced us to the delicious local food and drinks. It was definitely the highlight of our Japan trip.
