One day Koya trip

Nobuko (NoNo) was a great one-day tour guide. She met us promptly at the hotel and took us through the itinerary for the day, making sure we were ready for the experience. Once in Koyasan, she took us for a well-paced walk through the cemetery, stopping at multiple shrines, graves and other points of interest, which we would have otherwise missed the significance of. When we reached the most holy place on the tour, where etiquette had to be strictly observed, NoNo explained in a helpful way to make sure we understood the significance of where we were and how to get the most of this unique experience. We toured further temples after lunch, but NoNo made sure our 13 year old son stayed invested and interested in the tour, including when it was time to take an ice cream break ;). Lastly, she made sure we were correctly checked into the Buddhist Monks' monastery for our overnight stay before leaving us. We recommend you book NoNo for your tour!

Elijah C.

Thank you for your kind feedback, Elijah! san! I'm glad you enjoyed the Koyasan tour and that your son stayed engaged. It was a pleasure to guide you, and I appreciate your recommendation. I hope to see you on another adventure soon! Best Regards, Nono

Kyoto in One Day

Nobuko-san is an outstanding and enthusiastic guide. She speaks excellent English and is exceptionally knowledgeable about Japanese culture, people, and foods. She is active and encouraged questions during our customized and preferred physically demanding walks/hikes throughout the day. She found the best experiences during our planned activities and ensured the impromptu lunch venue was of a quality experience. Nobuko-san is also humorous and made us laugh through the day. She is now a friend and an honorary family member.

Mimi K.

Thank you so much Ms Mimi for your kind words! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the walks, hikes, and cultural experiences. It was a pleasure to share laughs and make memories with you. I look forward to our next adventure together! Warm regards, Nobuko

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.
