“Stop searching and select this guide for a personalized, informed and optimized tour”
Nobuko (aka Nono-san) made our day in Kyoto memorable. Her attention to detail let us enjoy the surrounds and really enjoy ‘the moment’ without concerns for the next step. Timing was flexible and suggestions were outstanding. It is always daunting for someone who is not a local to optimize time in a city, but with Nono-san’s vast knowledge we saw more than expected and would have paid more. It’s always best to use a professional. We could not imagine a better day in Kyoto. H

Dear Deborah-san, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words—it truly means a lot to me. I’m deeply grateful I could be part of your day and help make your time in Kyoto special. It was a real pleasure spending the day with you and Joann-san, and I hope the rest of your journey is just as wonderful. With heartfelt thanks, Nono

Explore Best View Of Eastern Kyoto Tour
We can go to the Ginkakuji temple by bus and walk along the philosopher's path. Then visit Heian shrine or Nanzenji temple. After that, Gion district to Kiyomizu-temple, we can appreciate different historical sites and shops too. It should be 1.5hs walk. Take a bus or taxi if we get tired or run out of time but it could be easy walk and we gonna have a great time I guess.
