A Perfect Day Exploring Kyoto with Toshiyo

We had a wonderful customized one-day tour in Kyoto with Toshiyo, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. She met us at our hotel and took care of all the logistics, allowing us to enjoy the city in a relaxed and well-organized way. The itinerary was perfectly balanced and thoughtfully planned. We visited Nijo Castle, explored the Arashiyama area—including temples and beautiful surroundings—and finished at the iconic Kinkakuji Temple. At each location, Toshiyo shared clear and insightful explanations about the history, culture, and significance of what we were seeing, which made the experience much more meaningful. Toshiyo was always attentive, flexible, and considerate of our pace and interests. She adjusted the timing as needed and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. Her local knowledge and calm, professional approach added great value to the tour. This was an excellent way to experience Kyoto in a single day, and we highly recommend Toshiyo to anyone looking for a personalized, high-quality guided tour in Kyoto.

A Perfect Day in Nara and Osaka with Toshiyo

We had an excellent experience with Toshiyo as our guide during our visits to Nara and Osaka. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized, allowing us to enjoy the day comfortably and without stress. In Nara, Toshiyo guided us through the historic sites and the park with great knowledge and care, explaining the cultural and historical background in a clear and engaging way. In Osaka, he helped us experience the city’s energy, food culture, and unique character, tailoring the visit to our interests and pace. Toshiyo was always attentive, patient, and flexible, making sure we were comfortable and enjoying every part of the journey. His explanations, local insights, and thoughtful recommendations added tremendous value to the experience. She is a highly professional guide and a wonderful person to travel with. The experience with Toshiyo was outstanding, and we would gladly recommend her to anyone visiting Nara and Osaka.

perfect for us!

Toshiyo is a very kind, organized person who knows how to do his job very well. She knows how to balance time and organize trips in the most efficient way. We spent two wonderful days with her.
