“Wonderful tour with Toshiyo ”
My family had a great time touring Kyoto with Toshiyo. She was knowledgeable and very helpful throughout the tour. We have two kids and Toshiyo was very nice and both with the kids and adults. From seeing monkeys to the bamboo forest to seeing multiple temples, we had an action packed tour! When we were tired (it is hot out there in June!) Toshiyo helped us quickly find a restaurant with AC to cool down and rest. She also gave us advice on other sites to see after the tour. She helped make our first day in Kyoto a great one.

“Cultural tour of Kyoto. ”
We discussed what we would like to see and she tailored the tour to our needs. Amazing city. We kept a few things to see ourselves in the days to follow. Don’t expect to see all the sites and temples in one day. The Japanese gardens at the temple was highlight. Highly recommend.
