“Active Day in Kyoto with Toshiyo”
Toshiyo was a wonderful guide for our family of four on our first full day in Kyoto. She is kind, thoughtful, and very knowledgeable. She was up for anything and flexible in our itinerary. The highlight of our day was when she took us up to the top of Mt. Inari. It was well worth the 2 hours trip up and back. We highly recommend spending the day with Toshiyo!
