Let's enjoy early morning Kyoto and maiko experience
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!!

“Gotta Go Kyoto with Yuriko”
Yuriko provided our family of 5 with a delightful tour of the Arashiyama district, Tenryu-ji Temple, and the Kinkaju-ri Golden Pavilion. She took us to a fun conveyor belt sushi spot (which she selected to accommodate my wife’s gluten intolerance). We highly recommend Yuriko!

Charley S.
Konnichiwa - - - Charley here. Originally, I grew up in Los Angeles and San Diego for the first quarter century of my life. In 2000, I moved to Aichi Prefecture, Japan. One of my main goals was to play music with Japanese musicians, particularly in the underground music scene, which I've been a part of throughout my life. Also, I wanted to enjoy and explore the beauty of living in a foreign country. I've been living here for 25 years, and can gladly say that I have been engaged thoroughly in both of those goals. Since the beginning of moving to Japan, I've always chosen to hang out and engage with Japanese people as opposed to other foreigners. I often find myself in izakaiyas and concert events where I am the only foreigner, but fortunately I am on good terms with the staff and other customers. So if you are looking to see the less touristy aspects of Japan, please feel free to get in touch with me and I would love to share what I have come to appreciate about Japan. Cheers !

Akiko W.
Hello! My name is Akiko from Gifu prefecture. I am a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I like going out with my family, talking with my friends over coffee at a cozy cafe, reading books, baking bread and cake when I have time. I passed the national tour guide test in 2017 and have worked as a guide since then. I have guided in Gifu city, Seki city, Takayama city, Shirakawago , Mino city and Nagoya city. I have lived in Gifu for more than forty years. Gifu prefecture is rich in nature so you can enjoy the rural atmosphere. Gifu city has a beautiful river 'Nagara river' and Mt.Kinka which has Gifu castle on the top. You can go up the mountain on foot or use a ropeway. The view from Gifu castle is so fantastic. At the foot of the mountain , there are many places to visit such as parks, a temple having a big image of Buddha, and a street preserving the historic atmosphere. At Nagara River, you can enjoy seeing a traditional way of fishing ‘cormorant fishing’ which is thought to have started 1300 years ago. Many cafes have unique service called 'morning service' in Gifu along with Aichi In the morning (until about ten thirty or eleven) when you order a cup of tea or coffee, they serve toast and salad ! Near Gifu park , you can find a nice Japanese style cafe where you enjoy good coffee and seeing a Japanese style garden. Seki city is a small city but so famous for its cutlery. At Japanese sword museum in Seki, you can see authentic Japanese swords! Mino city next to Seki city is well known for its hand made Japanese paper 'Hon minoshi' designated as intangible cultural asset by UNESCO . Until recently it was not easy to guide guests because of COVID-19 pandemic; however the situation is getting better. Some strict rules about COVID-19 have been lifted. Please visit Gifu. I am looking forward to seeing you. Please feel free to ask me when you need information about Gifu. Thank you for reading my introduction.

Sumiyo T.
Bonjour Mesdames et Messieurs, Je m’appelle Sumiyo et suis guide-interprète diplômée. C’est avec joie que je vous accueille dans ma ville natale de NAKATSUGAWA située à l’extrémité des Alpes centrales du Japon dans la préfecture de Gifu où je suis revenue après avoir enseigné à l’Université de Kagoshima. Or j’ai souvent éprouvé ici le regret de voir que les touristes se contentaient de suivre uniquement les informations de notoriété publique. Afin de rendre le chaleureux accueil que j’avais reçu en France lors de mes études de philosophie durant environ six ans, ainsi que dans d’autres pays que j’ai visités, je me suis sentie appelée à modifier cette situation. Avant d’aller à MAGOME, je vous conseille de descendre du bus un peu avant à la 44 e ville étape : à OCHIAI pour faire des expériences palpitantes et inoubliables. Ensuite selon votre choix, je vous accompagnerai à MAGOME et TSUMAGO, afin de découvrir leurs sites historiques et littéraires. Je serai heureuse de pouvoir partager et approfondir avec vous vos impressions et vos expériences. C’est avec impatience que j’attends votre venue ! A bientôt !
