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.

“A little disappointment”
There is no doubt that Toshiyo is very knowledgeable. We may have had excessive expectations after reading the many praises. But we found a passive guide with somewhat poor human relations. It may be a matter of cultural differences or she was having a bad day.

“Kyoto day visit ”
Toshi was well on time and gave us useful information about the visited points. We could only cover 4 points due to widespread location of the points in the itenary. Toshi was too quick to navigate and felt she was in a rush to complete the tour. The tour lacked planning overall that didn’t allow to complete the intended points.

“6 hours tour of Kyoto ”
Excellent tour of Kyoto with Toshiyo. She was very friendly and gave us plenty of information. Toshiyo took us to lots of interesting places which we would not have found ourselves. A very enjoyable day in Kyoto. We would highly recommend this guide.
