Kyoto Tour Reviews

Arashiyama tour

Mari is a lovely woman and guide who combines the knowledge of Arashiyama with a very personal touch. We immediately felt at ease with her. She suggested to ride a bike instead of walking and it was great. You get to see so much more and besides that, it's also fun to ride the streets in this part of Kyoto. Thank you very much Mari! Suzy and Andy

Thank you Suzy and Andy! Actually I had a business trip to Hiroshima and Okayama last 2 days and I struggled with my son in this morning. I was so happy to take a bike and enjoyed off the beaten path with you two! Thanks to your smiles, I could easily forget about how tired I was! :) Thank you so much again for joining my tour. I hope you both will have a great time in Kyoto!! :) OoKini!

Perfect first day in Kyoto

Mari provided us an experience that made for a perfect day for our first day of our first trip to Kyoto. There is so much to do, see and learn in this large and fascinating city. Her expert skills as a guide, knowledge of Kyoto history and her English language fluency were invaluable to help us through the day. She allowed us to go at our on own pace, yet she had a logical plan to keep us on track. She has such a nice personality and is full of positive energy. It was a pleasure to spend the day with her. We definitely recommend her!

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.

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.
