The Nijo Castle is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kyoto. It was built in 1603 for administrative purposes, not military unlike other castles.

The castle served as the residence of the Tokugawa family, who organized the shogunate at that time, and their retainers when they visited Kyoto. The Tokugawa family wanted to show their authority by building a gorgeous castle. The garden was also designed beautifully so that visitors including the emperor could enjoy the view from the castle.

We can enjoy a very attractive gate, beautiful traditional and modern gardens, and a magnificent view from the site of the castle tower.

About Tour Guide Atsuko T.

Hello. My name is Atsuko.I'm a licensed tour guide in Japan.

I have lived in Osaka since I was born.

I have guided many tourists all over the world as a volunteer for 6 years. I like showing my tourists my favorite places in Japan and talking with them. Osaka, where I was born and raised, is famous for foods, modern and ancient cultures. Nara and Kyoto, which are neighboring places, were ancient capitals in Japan. I'm happy to visit those places with you.

Wonderful experience

Atsuko is a great guide. She was punctual. Her English is easy to understand. She clearly knows and enjoys her work. She took us to beautiful locations in Saga Arashiyama. She also helped me set something up for a different day, going above and beyond to ensure that a particular experience was booked. Thank you Atsuko san!

Hello Mr. Girish, Thank you for your kind review and words for me. I am happy to hear you enjoyed the Arashiyama tour with me. We could relax there and visited many beautiful places. I think you could enjoy Kyoto on other days. Thank you. Best regards, Atsuko

Kyoto day with Atsuko

The 4 of us set a busy itinerary with Atsuko and she provided a fantastic day. We saw all the sights we requested and experienced a variety of travel options making it so interesting. She was very prepared with a book of interesting facts and pictures. An absolutely fantastic day.

Very interesting Kyoto- and Osaka-Tour

Our two 8-hour day tours (March 25 and 26, 2025) to Kyoto and Osaka with Atsuko were very interesting, varied and entertaining. Atsuko is a friendly guide and was able to enthusiastically introduce us to her hometown Osaka as well as to Kyoto. She was perfectly organized, has profound knowledge of the region, is humorous and communicative, and is flexible in accommodating individual requests. Long story short: We had a lot of fun and learned a lot. Highly recommended!

Hello Mr. Martin, Thank you for your kind review and words for me. I am happy to know you really enjoyed the two tours. Each of Kyoto and Osaka has its own attractive aspect. Although they are crowded with people, we could find some quieter places on these tours. It was fun to show you my hometown and share our own countries with each other. Thank you for joining my tours. Please say hello to Christine. Please enjoy the rest of your long journey. Thank you. Best regards, Atsuko
