Excellent day in Kyoto with Keiko

We contacted Keiko to help us arrange a private day tour in Kyoto. Keiko arranged the day from start to finish which included meeting us at Kyoto station, arranging a private car for the day, lunch and taking us to visit many beautiful places. The day ran very smoothly and Keiko was very friendly, knowledgeable, communicative and a lovely person to meet. We changed the itinerary a couple of times and Keiko was always very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Keiko and will definitely book with her should we visit again. Thank you for a lovely day and it was a pleasure to meet you.

Keiko U.

Dear my guests, Thank you so much for the review . I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed Kyoto as a first-time visitor! I was so grateful to be chosen as your guide. Today's itinerary covers just a part of beautiful Kyoto. So please come experience another Kyoto next time . And please memorize me, Keiko will be waiting for you all. Thank you. Keiko

Keiko is Amazing!

My wife, 12 yo daughter and I had the pleasure of learning how to cook a Japanese meal at Keiko’s home. She was simply the best. Extremely patient and super friendly. She was knowledgeable and with her guidance even we were able to create an amazing meal. Her passion for food and Kyoto shines through in her awesomeness!! We had the most amazing evening with her, a memory that will last a lifetime! Thank you Keiko for your tremendous hospitality!!

A lovely day out with Keiko

Keiko went above and beyond to make our short time in Kyoto a day to remember! She was so good with details to make the most of our time there. She was helpful, knowledgeable, and excellent at explaining traditions and customs. She helped my daughter in making her kimono experience a dream come true! We can’t thank her enough for a well planned and wonderful time in Kyoto!

Keiko U.

Arashiyama and Monkey Park Day Tour

Having Keiko San as our guide at our Arashiyama Tour was a blast. She is very fun and very warm to be with. Having her as a guide was like you are having a fun tour with a friend. She gave lots of inputs on the places we visited, suggested an early tour for us to experience the Bamboo forrest that is less crowded. She also suggested a nice place to buy souvenirs and gave inputs for a good place to eat. When we visit Kyoto again, we will surely book a tour again with Keiko San.

Keiko U.

Dear my guests, Thank you for the comment. I really enjoyed with you and your family. Your words has encouraged me !! Hope you come back to Kyoto and let me show you another Kyoto! Keiko
