“A Beautifully Curated Tour of Kyoto’s Highlights and Hidden Gems”

We had an excellent experience with Hiroshi in Kyoto. The tour was very well organized and thoughtfully planned, allowing us to make the most of our time without losing any time in transportation. He guided us seamlessly through some of the most important sights of Kyoto, while also introducing us to hidden spots that we would never have discovered on our own. Thanks to his knowledge and efficiency, we were able to enjoy a beautiful and well-balanced exploration of the city. The entire experience felt smooth, insightful, and truly enjoyable. It was a wonderful way to discover Kyoto, and we highly recommend Hiroshi to anyone looking for a high-quality and well-curated guided tour.

“Great day in Kyoto”

We had Hiroshi son for a day in Kyoto. He was punctual and pleasant. Took us around to four different places and provided explanations and background on the sites. A very pleasant day for us. His English is good but it took me a little bit to get used to him.

Hiroshi Y.

Dear Keith A I am grateful to you for your great reviews of Kyoto tour. You stepped up to the three-way inter-section in Fushimi-Inari shrine's deep mountainous area and going down to the entrance area and next visit at Sanjyu-sangendo temple which boasts of enshrining as many as 1001 Kannon buddha statues and lastly visit at Imperial Palace garden, where both of you really enjoyed watching over such a beautiful willow cherry blossoms. I felt happy that you had a pleasant day tour in Kyoto. Yours May 28 Hiroshi Y.
