Kyoto is an ancient city, which used to like be the capital of Japan for 1000 years. There are about 1600 temples and 400 shrines and beautiful gardens. It also has a lot of traditional crafts,such as kimono, fans, Japanese artistic sweets. There are a lot of things to do and experience. First of all I will take you to Gion area.I will take you to Yasaka Shrine and Kenninji Temple. Then let's move to the Nishiki market. and have sushi lunch in the market. Gion is the area of entertainment, where there are many bars and taverns. Some important business and political talks have been conducted. You may run across Maiko and Geiko, Japanese entertainers in kimono. If you want to wear Japanese costume in Gion, I can arrange with extra charge. NIshiki market is the kitchen of the Kyoro, where local people buy their everyday food. Fish stores, vegetable stores, pickles stores and so on. A friend of mine owns a Yuba shop in the market. Yuba is vegan, dairy-free ,gluten free,preserve-free, additive-free and protein rich. You can see the yuba making process.

Toshiyo was the perfect guide to have for our group and will definitely contact her again if we're in the area. After two days of touring with her, it felt like we made a new friend. She's very informative and patient. Lot of local knowledge and willing to adjust schedules/activities based on our input. Enjoyed her selection of meals also. She led us through the various areas of Kyoto and without her leading, we wouldn't have made the best use of our time. Thank you Toshiyo-san!
Dear Riki Thank you very much for your warm hearted review. I appreciate much. I hope you all enjoyed time in Japan. Please come back again in autumn. Thank you. Toshiyo
Toshiyo was great and super organized. She is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Kyoto, and will be able to answer your question no matter what it is about. We loved taking the public transportation and getting around, she will also give you suggestion on what else you could do on your personal time. I highly recommend booking with her !
