Yoshi was excellent. I could have spent the whole day with him. A Very comprehensive tour. I would never have discovered one tenth of what we saw. I would highly recommend Yushie. A very very nice man and a great Guide

“Awesome Day with Yoshie”

My husband and I had such a fun day in Kyoto with Yoshie - it was absolutely great and truly a highlight of our time in Kyoto! From the very beginning, the process was seamless as booking was incredibly easy and he made it so simple to customize the tour to fit our specific interests. We were very touched when he started the day by gifting us beautiful paper cranes handmade by his wife. Yoshie is a wonderful guide with an impressive knowledge base, sharing fascinating stories about the stunning temples we visited and taking us to lovely local spots we never would have found on our own, including a fun and delicious local lunch spot. He also has a great eye for photography and took so many fun photos of us throughout the day. We cannot recommend Yoshie highly enough for anyone wanting a personalized, knowledgeable, and heartwarming experience in Kyoto!

Hi Charlotte. I really appreciate your excellent review for my tour in Kyoto. I am very pleased to learn that you had a great day with me, visiting several spots you had chosen. I suppose you enjoyed skiing in Hokkaido and returned home safely. I hope you will visit Kyoto again during the cherry blossom or autumn foliage season. I wish you two the very best of luck! Yoshie

“Putting the "Personal" Touch in the Tour”

This was our first time in Kyoto and rather than walking cluelessly from one site or one shrine to another, we decided to get a tour guide to learn the history and meaning behind the places we visited. We could not have asked for a better tour guide than Yoshie, who made our tour one of the most memorable days of our trip. Not only was he incredibly informative about each place we visited, but he also weaved in entertaining stories and little historical tidbits that one would not find in a tour book. Yoshie also knows the best places and angles to take photos and would miraculously have us pose in pictures where no other tourists were in our photo (many of which ended up in our holiday card this year!). We ended the day at an Izakaya of his choosing and were treated to warm welcomes, cozy local vibes, and delicious food. It was also my husband's birthday, and the restaurant owner surprised him with a cake, and the whole place ended up singing happy birthday to him. We were very moved by the generous spirit and my husband was grinning ear to ear. If you want a personal touch, someone with deep knowledge and the gentle manner to share it with you, and a more profound grasp of the history of Japan in that region, Yoshie is your person! We have already recommended him to our friends who are going to Kyoto next year!

Hi Amy. I really appreciate your marvelous comment on my tour in Kyoto. I am delighted to learn that you had such a great time in every aspect of the tour, from my silly jokes, photo-taking spots to the food and warm atmosphere of the izakaya. I am looking forward to your next visit to Kansai area someday again. With warm wishes. Yoshie
