“Arashiyama forest”
We went to arashiyama bambu forest through a rout difficult i feel if you are not a local as it is very big and confusing at times. Received many explanations along the way and visiting a few shrines. We went to se the lanterns on the river but we got very wet as there was a big storm. Hiro was very attentive, recommended.

Dear Daniel C I would like to say thank you for your great reviews on Aug 16 evening tour in Kyoto. I felt so happy when I saw that all of your family wore in Yukata ! It matches well and cool. You enjoyed taking a walk through a bamboo garden and bamboo forest and visited a tiny unique shrine such as Nonomiya shrine. I feel sorry that you could not watch over Arashiyama Floating Lantern festival because of catching in a sudden shower. Best regards. Aug 21. Hiroshi Y.

“Not an English guide”
Hiroshi may be a good guide, and he may have knowledge and insights into Kyoto, but he neither speaks, nor understands English, so there is no way for us to know.
Hiroshi Y.
Dear Josh Humbly accept the criticism. Thank you for your honest opinions and for taking time to write this. I will intend to improve ability of speaking English from this experience. Best regards Aug 3 Hiroshi Yokoyama

“An Energetic, Knowledgeable Guide”
We travelled to Kyoto on the Shinkasen from Tokyo. We arrived mid-day but Hiro tailored a half-day tour for us so that we could see as much as possible in Kyoto. We spent two more complete days touring. Hiro would meet us at our hotel and then we were off. Be prepared to keep us with this energetic, knowledgeable guide because you don't want to miss out on all the information he has to share about Kyoto. Kyoto is very crowded with tourists, so you don't want to waste time trying to determine how best to get to the sites to tour. Hiro was very adept at getting us to the sites without delay. He made the tours fun with his wit and quizzes. You can take the middle school teacher out of the classroom, but you can't take away his interest in teaching. Hiro also recommended a restaurant for dinner our first night that was fantastic. Thank you, Hiro, for an enjoyable time touring Kyoto.

Dear Allen B I am very grateful to you for your great reviews on three day long tour in Kyoto. During the three day tour, I was guiding you to the wide variety of sites such as so magnificently shinning Golden pavilion temple, and Ryoanji temple , which garden shows us the beauty of simplicity and Sanjyu-sangendo temple, where you felt like you were walking in the forest of buddhas ! and Nijyo castle ,which shows you the life of the Shoguns and multi-talented artist Kawai -Kanjiro memorial museum. etc. I am very glad to hear that all of you had a pleasant tour in Kyoto ! Best regards Jun/28 Hiroshi Yokoyama

Bamboo grove and Arashiyama area, three World Heritages.
Arashiyama is the hottest tourist destination. It is incredibly beautiful in spring and fall because of its cherry blossoms and autumn leaves. In the fall, the leaves turn brown or red! In the outstanding Tenryuji, you will see a beautiful garden with beautiful mountains in the background. There are many other beautiful places with touching stories in this area. On the way back to downtown, we can visit two world heritage sites, Kinkakuji and Ryoanji. What a wonderful route!
