“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

“Perfect day in Kyoto with Yoshi!”

Our family had the most wonderful time with Yoshi, on our very first day in Kyoto. He was so friendly, warm and knowledgeable -- and he packed a LOT of sightseeing into our walking tour, without rushing us! My husband and I, as well as our son (15) and daughter (12) were delighted by all of the history, culture and stories he shared. Our highlight was having dinner at the tiniest izakaya - just barely enough room for the five of us at the bar, and the amazing food kept coming until we said stop. Truly the best - you will not go wrong, with Yoshi! Thank you Yoshi - sincerely, the Davis Family (from Colorado, USA)

Hi Brit. Thank you so much for your heartwarming comment on my tour in Kyoto. I am very pleased that you and your family still remember the tour and dinner with me more than ten months ago. I sincerely hope that our paths will cross someday again. With the best wishes. Yoshie
