Kyoto Tour Reviews
“Osaka & Nara Best Trip”
We had a wonderful day exploring Osaka and Nara with Kazu! He took us to the sites we wanted to see while providing information and fun on our tour! Kazu tailored the tour so we explored everything we wanted to and he provided information on other places in Osaka and Nara that we were curious about. Kazu arrived on time and is a fabulous tour guide!

“Kazu was very responsive and understanding ”
We actually ended up not having the tour because I booked the tour around 9 pm Los Angeles time, but did not realize when I pressed the button that the tour confirmation was for the day after. Irrespective, kazu was very responsive. Upon confirmation of the tour, I got a message from him introducing himself, then asking us what we want to see. When we arrived in Kyoto thinking it was the tour date, but not finding Kazu where we were supposed to meet, I immediately text him. He explained that tour was for the next day. He did offer to come and meet us a little later but I did not want to change his schedule. Overall, Kazu was very responsive and understanding.
“Kazu was amazing! Highly recommended ”
We booked a tour of Kyoto and we had such a wonderful time. Kazu contacted me before the trip to get an idea of what I would like to do on the tour and also suggested some authentic areas of Kyoto which I didn’t know about. We had such an amazing day. Kazu arrived on time and was very knowledgeable of all the sites he took us too. Nothing was too much of a problem and even stayed extra to help us get out Shinkansen tickets from Kyoto which we were very grateful for. The tour included looking at sports cars which my son was very interested in. Kazu joined in and was much fun. I would highly recommend Kazu for a tour. A definite 10/10 from us. We will contact Kazu again should we come to Japan again and will be recommending him to family and friends planning a trip to Japan. Thank you Kazu.
