The shrine has a long history and serves as a guardian deity of the local community. Every January, the shrine hosts the Tōka Ebisu festival, attracting many visitors who come to pray for prosperity in business and good fortune in the new year.

“Great day in Kyoto with Alika”

We had a very good day in Kyoto with Akira. He’s knowledgeable about everything in the city — and excited to share that knowledge. We wanted to change some things up from the standard itinerary and he was flexible and accommodating about that, and also he introduced us to some beautiful meaningful places that I hadn’t expected to see. Also, he’s a great driver with a nice car, and if you want him to, he can take well-crafted photographs of you.

“Kyoto Highlights ”

We really enjoyed our half day Heritage walking tour. We arrived in Kyoto around noon and began the tour at 2:00. Unfortunately it was rainy and cold, but Akira was a wonderful tour guide and we learned a lot about history and culture. We had a good time in spite of the weather thanks to Akira.

Akira F.

Thank you very much for your kind review. Visiting Kyoto during the rainy season can make the wooden temples and traditional buildings appear even more vivid and beautiful. However, the weather can also be quite cold, so everything has two sides — both good and challenging. Even so, I’m very happy that we were able to enjoy some of the most beautiful parts of the Higashiyama area together in the time we had. Thank you again, and I’m truly glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience.

“Private tour Kyoto”

We had a wonderful day in Kyoto with Akira as our tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and energetic, and his love of Kyoto comes through in his telling of history and descriptions of the culture. We started our day visiting the snow monkeys, then went to the bamboo forest. En-route he took us to the “Kimono Forest” which was a fun surprise photo opportunity. After lunch we saw the Tenruji temple and gardens, and ended our day with the Golden temple. Akira recommended several restaurants and gave us a plan for our next day of sightseeing on our own. He even found a gluten-free Ramen noodles place! His English is excellent. Highly recommend.

Akira F.

Thank you very much for your wonderful review. I truly feel lucky to have had the opportunity to spend the day with you in Kyoto and to show you some of the most beautiful sides of this city. Although we couldn’t visit every place we had in mind, I’m glad we were still able to enjoy several of Kyoto’s most iconic and representative spots together. Thank you again for visiting, and I sincerely hope we will have another chance to meet again in the future. Take care and all the best!
