“Excellent guide for 4 days!”

Our group of 9 (2 families, 4 adults, 2 teens, 3 kids) spent 4 days with Mr. Kazu as our guide in Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, and Himeji/Kobe June 15-18. He was able to arrange the requested van for our day in Kyoto and guided us through train use the other days. He was highly organized and made sure we were able to see all of the planned sites. He made us a reservation for an absolutely outstanding kobe restaurant in Kobe and confirmed to make sure everything was set. We definitely would have floundered to choose the best restaurant option without him. Mr. Kazu had great recommendations and was highly receptive to our planning requests as well as on-the-spot preferences. Our entire group had an amazing time and we would highly recommend Mr. Kazu as a guide for anything in that broad area!

“Valuable Guide in Kyoto”

Kazuhiko is a very kind man who was a valuable guide in Kyoto. Since we arrived via cruise ship, we were relieved that he could meet us at the Osaka cruise port, and then brought us to Kyoto by train. He had a lot of printed material at the sites explaining what we were seeing. His English comprehension and written English were very, very good. And although he speaks with a Japanese accent, we were able to understand him. Communication was excellent before our tour, with quick responses to our questions and requests, and he tried his best to accommodate them all in the tour. Alas, we were a bit too ambitious in our goals, and Kyoto was insanely crowded, which made it too difficult. Not to mention the many steps at the shrines and temples, which a few in our party had a problem with after a while. The only problem we encountered is that we were a party of four, which made 5 with Kazuhiko-san. To make the most of our time, we agreed to take taxis from one stop to the other. Almost all taxis could only take 4 passengers, so it meant either waiting a long time for an Uber Taxi that could handle 5 passengers, or having to take 2 taxis. So we had to either sacrifice money or time. In our time in Japan, Kyoto was definitely the most expensive place (by far) in terms of taxis, drinks, food, etc. But it was still a great day immersing ourselves in the culture of the city.

Thank you for the great review. I apologize for making you walk so much; I imagine the slope were quite challenging. I'm also sorry for not providing enough time for lunch. Regarding the taxi situation, it took longer to arrange a large taxi due to the student school trip season. I had a wonderful time, and I hope this tour becomes a cherished memory of your time in Japan. Thank you!!
