“Fabulous intro to Japanese food with Hero!”
We (family of 6, 3 generations from Australia) arrived in Kyoto this morning and basically headed straight out on a food tour with Hero. Having never been to Japan we wanted someone who could help us navigate the markets and restaurants and introduce us to Japanese food and culture. Hero did all that and more. Despite having next to no sleep Hero made us all forget how tired we were and kept us engaged with interesting facts about the area and history and of course trying many delicious Japanese dishes. We had such a great time and I’m so glad I booked Hero. He was so good with our 7 yr old son too, who was really disappointed when it was time to say goodbye! Thank you again Hero and if we are ever in Kyoto again we will definitely book you again!
“Great experience”
May thanks to Hero for the great tour. He tried to incorporate all our ideas and wishes to make the most of this tour. We have seen a lot of Kyoto and he also explained a lot and answered our questions. He felt more as a friend than a tourguide. Andrea

“Felt like time with an old friend ”
I didn't want a planned day, I wanted to explore and experience. Hiro made sure we had a full day of just that. It was like running around town with an old friend. We saw the sights, ate delicious food and enjoyed Hiro's company. He created the perfect day for us and give us suggestions for the rest of our trip. Thank you for a memorable day!
Hero I.
