“Great shopping tour in Kyoto with Jasmine”
My son and I spent three hours with Jasmine exploring Kyoto, and we had a wonderful experience. She guided us through local markets, shops, and food vendors, introducing us to local brands, traditional clothing, and authentic food, including some excellent matcha. What impressed us most was how knowledgeable she is about Kyoto's culture and traditions. She shared helpful tips and insights throughout the tour, and she was genuinely friendly and easy to spend time with. The three hours went by to quickly. If you're visiting Kyoto, we absolutely recommend booking a tour with Jasmine. She knows the city very well and makes for good company.

Enjoy Nintendo for Kids and Gamers
Kyoto is famous for its temples and shrines. If you go with kids, it's hard to have an interest in history for kids. Kyoto has Nintendo headquarters. If you are a fan of Nintendo games, I recommend this tour of places related to Nintendo, led by a storyteller. We will drop by Pokémon Center, the Nintendo Shop, and the Used Toys Shop. You can enjoy shopping also.
