Let's enjoy early morning Kyoto and maiko experience
Joined 2018
Kyoto is one of the most popular places to visit, but so crowded. If you want to enjoy quiet Kyoto, I recommend you visit there early morning. In this tour, you can enjoy bamboo grove, morning coffee at a Japanese style coffee shop and beautiful river and mountains scenery from a wooden bridge. After that, why don't you try 'washoku', or Japanese cuisine and maiko, or cute apprentice geisha's dancing? My special early morning tour will give you wonderful and unforgettable memories in Japan!!

“Great Job from Yuriko San”
We really appreciate the patience of Yuriko San to wait for our ship’s arrival since it was delayed due to foggy weather. We also enjoyed her knowledge about Nagoya and her company. We had a great time with her.
Yuriko S.
Thank you so much for posting an excellent review and kind comment. I was so happy to meet you and your nice group members. You sometimes asked me several questions about Japanese culture and history. It was so fun for me to answer them. Thank you for being interested in Japan! I hope to see you again as a tour guide and also as your friend. Your guide, Yuriko(Lily)

“If there is one thing that you must do in Nagoya is book Yuriko for your guide.”
We had a fantastic day out with Yuriko, she escorted us to all the sites we wanted to see and also modified her tour to accommodate our requests. Her knowledge of all the places we visited was exceptional. I don’t think we could have seen so much without her expertise. She knew all the spots for photos of all the main attractions, most of them we would not have found without her. Thank you for a wonderful day it was a pleasure to meet you and an unforgettable day in Nagoya, all the best for the future and thank you so much for your gift it was beautiful, Tony and Janet.

Thank you Yuriko for setting up the fun funakudari! So beautiful to see the river by boat. You were a wonderful guide for our extended family of 8. I recommend everyone to see Ogaki by boat. The sushi was fantastic and you were a wonderful guide.
