About Tour Guide Koichi W.

“Excellent tour for family with kids - 10/10 recommend! ”

We did an 8 hour tour with Koichi and had a fabulous time. He was incredibly patient with our two children 7 and 10), and he did a great job balancing explaining the history to us, while also finding engaging ways to teach our children about Japanese history and tradition as well. We saw more than I had hoped for, learned a lot, and had fun along the way. He took us to a great local spot for lunch and showed us local treats. We booked the tour for our first full day in Kyoto and it also helped us get our bearings for the city. Another unexpected bonus was all the family photos we got - Koichi was great about recommending where we would want great shots! My only regret was not booking him for more than 1 day, as we would have loved to see other parts of Kyoto or Japan with him! We will absolutely be reaching out to book another tour with him, when we return to Japan next!!

Hi! Thank you so much for the wonderful review and your heartwarming message. Although our time together was brief, I look back fondly on the moments I spent with you and your family. Spending time with your lovely child was a truly joyful experience for me. Please do come back to Japan—and to Kyoto—if you ever have the chance. By the time I see your child again, I’m sure they’ll have grown quite a bit.

“Koichi was a wonderful and thoughtful guide! ”

We truly enjoyed Koichi guiding us thru Kyoto. He was a wealth of information. If you want to discover Kyoto and learn all about it’s history and the meaning behind everything, you need to have Koichi guide you. His hidden talent is photography!! He made wonderful pictures of us to remember this memorable day! Thank you so much Koichi for a wonderful experience. We will come and visit again.

“Our best guide in Japan”

He was able to interpret our wishes well and made our stay in Tokyo very pleasant. He puts a lot of enthusiasm into what he does. He's committed to going above and beyond, offering a complete experience. He leaves out no aspect that can make the day special.

Hi! Thank you for giving me such a nice rating and wonderful comments. I fondly remember the Nara tour we spent together. It was a bit disappointing that many restaurants and shops were closed since the tour date was New Year's Holiday, but nothing would make me happier than knowing you enjoyed yourselves. I look forward to seeing you again. Next time, please come visit Shiga, where I live. Arigato!!
