Had a great time in Kyoto with Makoto. We toured 1 1/2 days in Kyoto. Makoto showed us the must-sees and gave us the details of history to this beautiful and remarkable city.

Dear James, Thank you for your nice comments for the tour. I am so glad that you have enjoyed the tour. It was a bit earlier to see the full blossoming of cherry trees in Kyoto, but other flowers such as azalea, weeping cherry blossoms support the spring atmosphere, which we enjoyed. Thanks for your cooperation to make the tour successful. Also Thanks for your choosing me of your guide. Makoto

“Recommended tour”

Makoto is very organized. From the beginning he gave us some printed materials about Japan history and showed us the sites to visit on the map. He is very skilled to navigate in the crowd (Kyoto is very crowded!). He was flexible and included 2 additional incredible sites for us to enjoy. Also he gave some useful information about getting to Nara and Uji using the trains. I recommend this tour with Makoto.

Dear Svetlana, Thanks for your nice comments on my tour. I also enjoyed very much to guide you these places including the new additional places, as these additional placed can be known to the people, who understand the culture and history of Japan so much. It was so good that there is not so many visitors there also. I hope that you come to Japan again to exchange the culture. Thanks again for your choosing me of your guide. Makoto
