“Hiro is my hero! ”
Hiro was amazing ! And extremely confident in how to get to places ! He never complained about going anywhere or did he try to force us to go anywhere we didn’t want to go. He made sure to wait for us in some places. He made sure to take shortcuts when necessary!

“Excellent, comprehensive tour of Kyoto!”
Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) only had one day to see Kyoto, and we're glad we found Hiroshi to help us navigate this beautiful city. Hiroshi picked 3 top sites to show us. He provided historical and cultural background of the places, which we all found very informative. We travelled very efficiently by public transit, and covered a lot of ground in the 8 hrs we spent together. He was willing to show us more, but by the end we were all exhausted and ready to call it a day. He helped us find a taxi to take us back to the train station, so we could travel back to Osaka that night. THANK YOU very much Hiroshi for your great talent in sharing your great city with us, in such an interactive way. We all enjoyed meeting you, and only wish we had more time together.
