“Flexible guide with a lot of knowledge”
We had a private tour with Toshiyo-san in Kyoto. She speaks English very well and had a lot of knowledge about the history of Kyoto and the culture of Japan. I asked her to show us around Kiyomizu-dera and Gion. However when we got to Kiyomizu-dera it was packed with foreign tourists and Japanese school groups. We asked Toshiyo-san to show us less busy places and she pivoted so expertly and took us to a few other interesting and beautiful spots in Kyoto were we were not fighting the crowds. We took a bus and subway - we enjoy traveling more like locals. After our tour she made sure we knew how to get to our next stop. It was a delightful morning with Toshiyo-san!

“Amazing Tour of Kyoto!”
As a first-timer to Kyoto, I really wanted to book a tour to learn and see the landmarks. Toshiyo was absolutely fantastic! She had so much knowledge about the history of each shrine, temple, area, etc. and made sure to explain each one. I highly recommend this tour to anyone! Toshiyo’s English was great as well. She was so flexible in what we wanted to accomplish for the day and had so many suggestions when we had time to tour more sights. She also took some great photos of my mom and I to document our trip!
