“One of the best guided tours we have taken!”

Takashi is awesome! He was on time, super friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. After our initial request, he designed a custom tour to fit the needs of our family. He took us to the right places and provided the historical context for each location and allowed the kids to engage in. He is very engaging and you don’t get bored at all. I would have never visited those specific places and would not know the context behind any of those beautiful places had Takashi not guided us. He also rented a right vehicle to cater to our family needs on our request. I highly recommend Takashi if you are in Osaka/Kyoto region. Thanks Takashi!

Takashi M.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m really happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed the tour. It was my pleasure to show you around and share the history and culture of Kyoto and Osaka. I’m also glad the customized itinerary and the rental vehicle worked well for your family :)
