I really want many people from abroad to enjoy visiting many places and have wonderful experiences in my country. I'll be really happy if I can have such experiences with you!!

Please tell and ask me if there are any places which you want to visit and anything which you want to do in my country. I'll plan the trip only for you.

Reviews

Wonderful day with Tomoe

Our group of six people booked the Nara & Kyoto 8 hour tour with Tomoe in May 2025. We met Tomoe at Kyoto Station and she was prompt, friendly, inquisitive, and knowledgeable. Even before the tour started, she was available for questions by chat. We took the Limited Express train to Nara where we fed and petted the deer and toured Todaiji Temple and Isuein Park (highly recommend). We had ramen for lunch then returned to Kyoto to see the Inari Gates. Tomoe shared lots of history about the sites we visited, even about the deer. Tomoe took lots of pictures of us and sent them to us which really helped enhance our trip. I highly recommend Tomoe! Tip: Be sure to bring cash. We paid for the train tickets to Nara by card (about 1500¥ each way per person) but the temple (500¥/pp) and garden (1200¥/pp) as well as our lunch (2000¥/pp) was cash only. Also be prepared for lots of walking. We racked up over 20,000 steps!

Dear Cheryl, Thank you very much for your wonderful review! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the day with me in Nara and Kyoto. It was the great day for me, too. Thank you very much for coming to Kyoto Station earlier, and so, we were able to buy 7! tickets for Nara on the train which was almost full. (Visiting Nara has been very popular among people, especially from abroad, and booking the seats of the train for Nara has been getting hard these days.) There are many other nice places to visit in Kyoto. I hope that you will come to Kyoto and I can see you, such a nice family again! Thank you very much for booking my tour. どうもありがとう!おおきに!TOMOE
