“Fantastic day with Jasmine in Kyoto!!”

We had a fantastic tour with Jasmine today. She was so kind, patient, great with kids and adults!! We spent 5 hours looking at the famous temples, shrines and the geisha area. She explained the history in a way that was simple enough for the children and interesting for the adults. Also, she helped us with some purchases by introducing us to some of the specialty shops. She also offered to help us with any follow-up questions by message after our tour! Thank you Jasmine for the wonderful introduction to Kyoto. We will recommend you to all our friends visiting this beautiful city!

“A Wonderful and Memorable Hiroshima Tour with Emiko M”

We were a group of six doctors and nurses from London who contacted Emiko M to arrange a half-day Hiroshima City Highlights tour. Emiko welcomed us at the railway platform, arranged a taxi for our group, and took us around the beautiful city of Hiroshima. She is an exceptionally kind-hearted, gentle, soft-spoken and knowledgeable person. As we had limited time, she thoughtfully advised us on the places we should prioritise and those we could miss, ensuring that we made the most of our visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. What particularly touched us was her kindness and attention to detail. At the end of the tour, she accompanied us all the way to the door of our train to ensure that we boarded safely and without any difficulty. Her warmth, sincerity and genuine care made our visit to Hiroshima truly memorable. We will always remember Emiko and the wonderful hospitality she showed us. Thank you, Emiko, for making our visit so special. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.

“A perfect day with Masahisa. ”

Masahisa really went out of his way to show us some beautiful sites away from the touristy route and spent over his time schedule to show us more interesting areas of the city and to pass on to us his love and knowledge of the country. He was very energetic, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We throughly recomend booking with Masahisa.

Carmen Thank you for coming all the way to Kyoto from so far away, and it was truly my pleasure to share Kyoto with you. The Rakusai area still preserves, albeit only in small traces, the refined court culture of the Imperial Family and the aristocracy of old Japan. I hope you were able to catch a glimpse of its elegant atmosphere and feel a little of its lingering spirit. I also hope you enjoyed experiencing the contrast between European stone culture and Japanese wooden culture. While European beauty is often found in grand, solid, symmetrical and seemingly eternal structures, Japanese aesthetics traditionally find beauty in simplicity, imperfection, asymmetry, fragility and the transience of life. These are, in many ways, two very different ways of appreciating beauty. As you continue your journey through Nara and Osaka before returning home, I sincerely wish you all a safe and memorable trip, and hope you all return home safely with wonderful memories of Japan. Thanks Masahisa
