Tours

Let's enjoy early morning Kyoto and maiko experience

Kyoto
6 hours

Kyoto is one of the most popular places to visit, but so crowded. If you want to enjoy quiet Kyoto, I recommend you visit there early morning. In this tour, you can enjoy bamboo grove, morning coffee at a Japanese style coffee shop and beautiful river and mountains scenery from a wooden bridge. After that, why don't you try 'washoku', or Japanese cuisine and maiko, or cute apprentice geisha's dancing? My special early morning tour will give you wonderful and unforgettable memories in Japan!!

“ Superb tour! ”

Yuriko-san was very accommodating and patient with our needs as we were travelling with young children. She tailored the tour to meet our pace, allowing my boys ample time to run around and explore. We had a delightful and enriching tour!

Yuriko S.

Serene-san, thank you for your nice review and comments. I was so happy to meet your family with two little kids and have a wonderful time at Nagoya Castle with full-bloom cherry blossoms and Nagoya City Science Museum. In Nagoya, there are some nice spots to visit, such as Toyota Museum of Science and Technology, Tokugawa Museum and Arimatsu Nostalgic Town. Please come again! Jeika-kun and Joe-kun (Sorry if I misspell), there is another wonderful castle named "Gifu Castle" in Gifu, my hometown. Please come to Gifu someday! See you again(^-^)/ Yuriko(Lily)

“ Wonderful and pleasant day in shirakawa-go ”

We are group of 4 friends travelling together, and we book a day tour with Yuriko in Shirakawa-go, and it was a lovely one! From the first moment we met her at the bus stop, Her kindness, her knowledge and the pleasant way she shared it with us was exactly what you would expected from a tour guide. Also her flexibility when it started to rain was well appreciated. We learned a lot about village life and Japan’s culture and history. Yuriko is a special person and she made our day unforgettable. RECOMMENDED!

Yuriko S.

Thank you for your heartwarming message. Thanks to you and your group members, I had a wonderful time in Shirakawago Village. I also felt happy to share the history and villagers' wisdom with you. Actually, I love rain. I appreciated the rainy weather because we could talk much with a nice soft drink at a cozy coffee shop. Yuriko(Lily)
