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!!

“Good tour despite the weather”

Lily-san is very good at managing the time. The weather was not ideal when we had the tour but she was still able to show us the scenes and sights in kanazawa. At first I thought it would be a problem when she booked an activity that we hadn't agreed on. We had to pay cancellation fee if we didn't show up so my family decided to just attend the tea ceremony. Personally, I would not book it but thankfully everyone else in the group loved it. It turned out to be quite an experience.

This tour is the one and only for you. Kyoto was an ancient capital of Japan for over 1200 years. Embedded in centuries of history and culture, it offers too much to see in one visit. Here the ancient world is integrated with the modern. The phenomenal concentration of history and legend coexists with an equally phenomenal concentration of people busily going about their everyday life. Please tell me your interest, and I will make an itinerary exclusively for you!
