He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour enjoyable for our whole group. I would definitely use him again and highly recommend Takashi to anyone looking for a great tour guide in Kyoto

“Takashi was a wonderful tour guide!”

Firstly, I would rate Takashi 6 stars. He was on time and we had a wonderful day with him. He took us to a small town called Mio, where my grandparents immigrated to Canada 130 years ago. Takashi, went out of his way to show us Mio, including a temple, shrine, lighthouse and a wonderful place for lunch(best lunch on our 3 week trip). It was a great day and he was so good about telling us about Osaka on our 2 hour drive to Mio. I would highly recommend Takashi any time and we will be telling friends to use him when they visit Osaka or Kyoto. Floyd & Sheila

Takashi M.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure helping you discover your family’s history in Mio. I’m glad you enjoyed the sights, local lunch, and our conversations along the way. Thank you for your kind recommendation. I hope to see you both again in the future!:)
