Reviews

Very knowledgeable and very accommodating!

We had such a wonderful day with Toshi! We had requested to start a bit earlier than her listed time when booking, which she agreed to. My daughter and I only had 1 day in Kyoto so I wanted to see and learn as much as possible without trying to navigate ourselves. The city is beautiful, and even on a rainy, cold day we saw so many places thanks to Toshi! She was understanding and patient when my 8 year old needed some more breaks than expected. She recommended a delicious lunch spot, lead us through some great side streets and old markets en route to subways and between destinations. There is so much symbolism in all shrines, temples, and castle we visited I was grateful to have her explain the many things I definitely would have overlooked! Overall I was so pleased with the tour and my decision to leave Kyoto planning to an expert!

Thank you very much for having me as your guide on one precious day in Kyoto. Despite the unexpected cold day we could visit pretty places here with less people. I am so glad to hear you had good time. Thank you very much. Toshiyo

Full day custom tour of Kyoto

I would recommend Toshiyo to guide you through Kyoto to the sites you wish to see. Her use of English and her knowledge of history, religion, and culture gave depth and meaning to our day. Also being able to follow and learn which bus ,train or taxi to navigate the city with for our family of 5 helped relieve stress.

Kyoto is an ancient city, which used to like be the capital of Japan for 1000 years. There are about 1600 temples and 400 shrines and beautiful gardens. It also has a lot of traditional crafts,such as kimono, fans, Japanese artistic sweets. There are a lot of things to do and experience. First of all I will take you to Gion area.I will take you to Yasaka Shrine and Kenninji Temple. Then let's move to the Nishiki market. and have sushi lunch in the market. Gion is the area of entertainment, where there are many bars and taverns. Some important business and political talks have been conducted. You may run across Maiko and Geiko, Japanese entertainers in kimono. If you want to wear Japanese costume in Gion, I can arrange with extra charge. NIshiki market is the kitchen of the Kyoro, where local people buy their everyday food. Fish stores, vegetable stores, pickles stores and so on. A friend of mine owns a Yuba shop in the market. Yuba is vegan, dairy-free ,gluten free,preserve-free, additive-free and protein rich. You can see the yuba making process.
