“Phenomenal”
Exceptional tour, comfortable vehicle, highly knowledgeable guide, and memorable spots! I recommend lattes at the museum and eel in the town. If you’ve got a day to check out the most important battlefield in Japan, go with Koki!

“Super friendly & helpful Koki”
We initially booked Koki for a half day tour of Kyoto following our arrival in Japan the previous day. He was so engaging, personable, informative & helpful that we booked him for the whole of the next day which we had left free. I would wholly recommend Koki to you & offer my thanks to him once again in this review.

“One day highlights of Kyoto: Fushimi-Inari (South Kyoto), Gion & lunch, Golden Pavilion (North West Kyoto) then back for sunset at Yasaka Jinja. ”
Koki was in contact with us from the start and very proactive in suggesting routes & things to see and asked us for ideas to incorporate into the day. He met us at the hotel & led us out on our day of discovery in Kyoto. It was a long day but well paced & we had a great stop for a sushi lunch in Gion before going North to the Golden Pavilion. All-in-all a good day. Koki was very informative throughout with lots of interesting & useful information about the sights, Kyoto & Japan more generally. He is a former schoolteacher so you can be sure that he has prepared for the day! Chris & Family
Koki N.
