Keiko is Amazing!

My wife, 12 yo daughter and I had the pleasure of learning how to cook a Japanese meal at Keiko’s home. She was simply the best. Extremely patient and super friendly. She was knowledgeable and with her guidance even we were able to create an amazing meal. Her passion for food and Kyoto shines through in her awesomeness!! We had the most amazing evening with her, a memory that will last a lifetime! Thank you Keiko for your tremendous hospitality!!

A lovely day out with Keiko

Keiko went above and beyond to make our short time in Kyoto a day to remember! She was so good with details to make the most of our time there. She was helpful, knowledgeable, and excellent at explaining traditions and customs. She helped my daughter in making her kimono experience a dream come true! We can’t thank her enough for a well planned and wonderful time in Kyoto!

Arashiyama and Monkey Park Day Tour

Having Keiko San as our guide at our Arashiyama Tour was a blast. She is very fun and very warm to be with. Having her as a guide was like you are having a fun tour with a friend. She gave lots of inputs on the places we visited, suggested an early tour for us to experience the Bamboo forrest that is less crowded. She also suggested a nice place to buy souvenirs and gave inputs for a good place to eat. When we visit Kyoto again, we will surely book a tour again with Keiko San.

Dear my guests, Thank you for the comment. I really enjoyed with you and your family. Your words has encouraged me !! Hope you come back to Kyoto and let me show you another Kyoto! Keiko

Great time in Kyoto with a fantastic guide.

Keiko was a perfect guide for our two days in Kyoto: knowledgeable, friendly, well spoken, attentive. She was very flexible in designing our tours, provided rich historical context for the sights that we visited and kept the entire day interesting including transfers between the sights. She established a good rapport with our 19-yo kids. She is a genuinely curious and kind person and we are very happy that she was our guide in the fabulous city of Kyoto.
