Reviews

Cultural tour of Kyoto.

We discussed what we would like to see and she tailored the tour to our needs. Amazing city. We kept a few things to see ourselves in the days to follow. Don’t expect to see all the sites and temples in one day. The Japanese gardens at the temple was highlight. Highly recommend.

Dear Stacy Thank you very much for having me as your guide and writing the kind review. I appreciate it. I hope you enjoyed the food here. Thank you. Toshiyo

Experienced Guide Great 2 days including Nara

We booked Toshiyo for a full day tour in Kyoto, and we went South to vermilion torii gates: fantastic, then west to Bamboo forest, then North to Golden Pavillion: not be missed and finished going west through Gion to Maruyama Park for great outlook over Kyoto. Second day was a day trip to Nara. Deer everywhere and the highlight the Grand Buddha Hall, just awe inspiring. Toshiyo knows her stuff and was well paced tours using public transport. Enjoyed our time with Toshiyo and we would recommend her.
