Do you know "yuba"? It is very healthy Japanese food. Yuba is soy milk skin and you can taste "yuba kaiseki" at an old yuba restaurant. After enjoying the healthy cuisine, you can also enjoy watching the yuba factory!!

Near the restaurant, there is an old temple, Toji and its branch temple, Kanchiin Temple. I'm sure you will have a wonderful and rare experience in Kyoto!!

Caring and knowledgeable

Yuriko is very nice, calm and gentle. She took care about the needs of everyone in our family group She organized a wonderful two half day tour around Kyoto and made her best to make us survive the heat

Lucia C.

Thank you for an excellent review and nice comments! I'm happy to hear that. It was my pleasure to guide around Kyoto to you and your nice family! You all tried to listen to me even though too hot and humid weather. My precious memory with your family in Kyoto makes me happy. Thank you again for two wonderful days in Kyoto and iced coffee at Starbucks.

A beautiful day in Takayama!

Yuriko (also known as Lilly) was an amazing tour guide. She was so very knowledgeable about the history of Takayama and told interesting stories that we all enjoyed. Our family of 6 ranged in ages from 6 years to 70 years. I would highly recommend her as a guide and also recommend Takayama as a beautiful town to visit on your journey. Yuriko organised a lovely lunch and we enjoyed delicious food.

Aidan C.

Thank you for an excellent review and heartwarning comments!(^-^)/ I'm so happy to hear that you all enjoyed beautiful Takayama with my guiding. Your kids are so cute and they reminded me of my three sons when they were little kids . I also enjoyed answering your clever boy's interesting questions. Please come to Japan again! From your guide, Lily
