“ Excellent, personable guide ”

We would highly recommend Kazu to be your tour guide in Kyoto. He was very prompt, knowledgeable and professional. We enjoyed very much our day visiting the Fushimi Imari Shrine, the Bamboo Forest, Kinkaku-ji Temple and a first for both Kazu and ourselves, a great visit to the Zen Tenryu-ji temple We were provided with printouts explaining both Japanese history and where we would be visiting during the day. We also enjoyed a nice sushi lunch and were delighted to receive a small present of origami made by his wife Thank you Kazu for a wonderful and memorable day Andy & Wendy
