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!!

“I had a wonderful afternoon with Yuriko!”
Yuriko took me shopping in Kyoto - I love vintage and contemporary textiles and fabrics, and she devised a our which took in a modern Kimono shop with amazing Japanese fabrics and kimonos, and the lovely textile museum shop which has some real treasures. Finally to a vintage boutique which was so beautiful and such good value. Thank you Yuriko - you are a perfect guide!

(41 reviews)Thank you for your excellent review and lovely comment! Afternoon Kyoto kimono Tour with you and your gentle husband made me a precious memory, because I'm a kimono lover and strolling around kimono shops is very fun for me. Please enjoy kimono and Japanese fabric at home. Thank you again for such a wonderful afternoon in Kyoto!
“Kyoto tour”
Yuriko is very kind and sweet, she took us to Kyoto and we rented kimonos and we also had the opportunity to see lots of Cherry blossom. She also gave us history and took us to places we could of missed. It was a beautiful day.
