You are very knowledgeable about Kyoto and the Japanese culture. You are also very dedicated (the tour was more than 8 hours) and flexible (you told us we could reschedule because of the rain).

Since you chose me as your guide, I am dedicated to making your journey truly memorable. As a local, I find the greatest satisfaction in sharing Kyoto's culture and history with those who show such interest. It was also a pleasure for me to extend our tour time.

“Great afternoon tour around Kyoto & Uji”
Mana was a superb guide and really helped us make the most of a half-day tour. She was super responsive in the run-up, supporting us in the planning of the 3-4 main stops and contributed great suggestions, that we would never have come up with by ourselves. On the day of the tour she was very punctual and maintained a solid pace throughout, ensuring we would have sufficient time for each spot. We finally finished right on time for sunset at fushimi inari shrine - what a fantastic way to finish the day. Thank you, Mana!

(89 reviews)Dear Julian. Although only about 30 minutes had passed since we parted at Kyoto Station, thank you very much for sending such a positive review right away. I was still on a crowded train heading home, but your message instantly lifted my spirits. People from your country always take the time to send thoughtful reviews, are polite, punctual, and walk a lot! Many of them have a deep interest in Japanese culture and history, and they study it well, which is one of the reasons your country is one of my favorites. It was truly a heartwarming day for me as well, thanks to the opportunity to meet such a wonderful family today. Thank you very much once again. Mana

I recently had the pleasure of going on a guided tour with Mana san, and I can't recommend them enough! From the moment we started, their enthusiasm and passion for the subject were evident. She shared fascinating insights and stories that brought everything to life, making the experience truly memorable. The pacing was perfect—allowing us to soak in the sights without feeling rushed. Plus, Mana san was incredibly knowledgeable, answering all our questions with ease and depth. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I left with not only a greater appreciation for the area but also wonderful memories. If you’re considering a tour, definitely choose Mana san—you won’t be disappointed!
