“Kyoto Day Trips ”

We had the absolute pleasure of spending two days with Kaori traveling from Osaka to Tokyo, and she made our experience truly unforgettable. We visited all the major sights and beautiful temples, experienced the bullet train , and discovered some incredible local restaurants and hidden gems along the way. Kaori was so kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and wonderful to spend time with. She went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. And an added bonus—she is an AMAZING photographer. She captured so many beautiful memories and took some fantastic photos of us along the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better introduction to Japan. If you’re visiting Japan, we cannot recommend Kaori highly enough. She was truly a highlight of our trip.

Hi Kasey. Thank you for sharing your time in Japan and warm comment! You and Tom are very fun to spend time with! Lots of joke and story of you are so interested :)) It is high season here in Kyoto but your flexibility, we could avoid super crowded area and visit more Kyoto beauty parts :) I wish you have great memories in Japan and enjoy your beach holiday in Thailand later :) Safe trip!

“An Unforgettable 2 Days in Kyoto – The Perfect Guide for Solo Female Travelers!”

My tour with Kaori was an absolute highlight of my time in Japan! As a solo female traveler, finding a guide you feel entirely comfortable with is so important, and Kaori was a dream. Spending two full days together exploring both East and West Kyoto was the best decision I made. She showcased her deep knowledge of the city and her incredible navigation skills at every turn. Kaori is a wonderful, free-spirited, and exceptionally kind human. What truly set her apart was her ability to intuitively understand my preferences from our very first meeting, effortlessly adapting the itinerary on the fly to fit my style. Over our two days together, she shared fascinating insights, put her whole heart into making my experience worthwhile, and even picked out the perfect local restaurants for lunch. To top off an already perfect experience, she thoughtfully introduced me to amazake and treated me to a cup.

“Supercharged Kyoto and Nara with Kaori”

We spent two energized days with Kaori in Kyoto and Nara. She guided us around the tourists and shared cultural and historic insights at every destination. The Nara Deer Park and massive bronze Buddha were our favorite. We are sorry she cannot accompany us on the rest of our trip in Japan!
