“Highlights of Kyoto”
We spent a wonderful half day with Toshiyo starting with the visit of the great garden of the Katsura Imperial Villa, which is only possible by reservation in advance. Afterwards, to avoid the touristic crowds we went to the Kamigamo and the Shimogamo shrine being lucky to see many Japanese families celebrating the Shichi go san for their kids. We have appreciated Toshiyo’s excellent knowledge of Japanese culture. Her sound explanations were of upmost interest for us. Thank you, Toshiyo!

“very nice tour”
The best part was that Toshiyo offered to do the tour with her car (we paid parking and gas) which made the tour so much easier and faster and we could see more in less time. very recommended. The tour was informative with history but we missed some current japan information in addition or some cool facts and stories. In general was a good tour.

Gion is the area of entertainment, where there are many bars and taverns. Some important business and political talks have been conducted. You may run across Maiko and Geiko, Japanese entertainers in kimono. If you want to wear Japanese costume in Gion, I can arrange with extra charge. NIshiki market is the kitchen of the Kyoro, where local people buy their everyday food. Fish stores, vegetable stores, pickles stores and so on. A friend of mine owns a Yuba shop in the market. Yuba is vegan, dairy-free ,gluten free,preserve-free, additive-free and protein rich. You can see the yuba making process.

Katsura Imperial Villa and Fushimi Inari
Katsura Imperial Villa is too beautiful to express! In the early Edo period, Prince Toshihito, who excelled in both literature and the martial art from childhood, built the Villa. That is both tasteful and simple. We need to apply for the Imperial Household Agency to get in. I will apply for you by postcard. It takes an hour to see the villa by the special guide of the villa. The fee is free.

Bamboo grove and Arashiyama area, three World Heritages.
Arashiyama is the hottest tourist destination. It is incredibly beautiful in spring and fall because of its cherry blossoms and autumn leaves. In the fall, the leaves turn brown or red! In the outstanding Tenryuji, you will see a beautiful garden with beautiful mountains in the background. There are many other beautiful places with touching stories in this area. On the way back to downtown, we can visit two world heritage sites, Kinkakuji and Ryoanji. What a wonderful route!
