“Great introduction to Kyoto”
As an experienced guide and an ex-middle school teacher, Hiroshi shared lots about the history of Kyoto, Japan in general, as well as the four excellent locations we visited. Just what we hoped for. The first three world heritage sites were outstanding examples and key moments in Japan’s history, as well as very beautiful. I shan’t spoil what’s extraordinary about the fourth site, but I’m so pleased we went there. Remarkable. Thank you so much Hiroshi.

You must be amazed to watch such a beautiful Golden Pavilion temple, and next at Ryoanji temple, where you must be feel a sense of calmness and simplicity and Nijyojyo castle ,where you figured out what it was like the life of the Shoguns and lastly visit at Sanjyu-sangendo temple, where you may feel like you were walking in the forest of buddha.
