“Prefect day in Kyoto”

We had a wonderful and insightful day with Tomoe in Kyoto. The communication before we met was clear and helpful. She had a great plan for the day and kept sharing her knowledge about the city, culture, and traditions throughout the tour. Her English is very good, and our youngest daughter especially appreciated her explanations. It felt personal and cared We highly recommend her guiding services

Please say, 'Hi!' and 'Thank you!' to your daughter! TOMOE

“A perfect half day in Kyoto”

Tomoe was incredibly accommodating from the beginning. I arrived in Kyoto from Tokyo in the morning and she helped me store my luggage at the train station. Next we went to Yasaka Koshindo temple. It is a very colorful temple with kukurizaru, colored balls of fabric shaped like a monkey. Next, we walked through Kiyomizuzaka. A historic shopping area with great food and souvenirs. I enjoyed walking along the streets on the way to the temple. Next we went to the Kiyomizudera Temple. It was an incredible building with a balcony over a cliff built using no nails. The scenery is also gorgeous. Lastly, we went to the Sanjyusangendo temple where they had 1000 gold Buddha statues protected by 28 warrior statues. It was an incredible building and artwork to behold. Tomoe ensured I safely collected my luggage from the train station and made it to my hotel. She even gave me chocolates as a present. Overall, Tomoe is an amazing guide, who goes above and beyond for her guests.

Dear Kelsey, Thank you very much for your wonderful review. I was happy to meet you at the platform of Shinkansen Kyoto Station, and spend such a fabulous half day with you in Kyoto. Also, I was surprised and glad to see you looking each Buddhist statue carefully at Sanjyusangendo Temple. I do hope that you will come to Kyoto and I can see you, such a sincere person again! Thank you very much for booking me as your guide. TOMOE

“Amazing Day in Kyoto!”

Tomoe is an amazing guide. We saw all of the main sites in Kyoto in just one day. First, we started at Nijyojyo Castle. It had beautiful wall paintings of tigers, cranes, and pine trees. We also saw where the shogun used to meet with feudal lords. Next we went to the golden palace. It was a beautiful building and garden. We had delicious hitsumabushi beef for lunch in Arashiyama and then we went to the bamboo forest. We then had a nice walk along the river. We ended the day with the best walk of all at the Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. We walked up to the lookout point. It was a nice hike through the torii gates and up the mountain. Tomoe knew all of the best photo spots and even gave me with map highlighting all the places we went at the end of the trip. She is a 5 out of 5 tour guide!

Dear Kelsey, Thank you very much for such a wonderful review, too! Yes! I had another wonderful day with you, such a nice person! Walking, talking, taking pictures, and so on..I had a really good time, too! I suggested representative places to go for the first visitors to Kyoto this time. I hope that we can share other places (with less people) in your next visit. Thank you very much for booking me as your guide. Sharing 2 days with such a sincere and nice person is my precious memory as a guide. TOMOE
