“Outstanding Private Tour Experience”

We had a fantastic experience with our private tour guide Hiroshi for 3 days. From the start, he was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. The tour felt fully personalized and never rushed. Our guide tailored the day to our family’s interests and shared great insights into the history, culture, and local areas, making everything more engaging. Logistics were seamless throughout. He was punctual, easy to communicate with, and made getting around the city effortless. We also appreciated his restaurant and local recommendations that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Most importantly, we really enjoyed spending the day with him. And he made us feel comfortable and welcome, and it felt like exploring the city with a knowledgeable local friend rather than a formal tour. We highly recommend Hiroshi for anyone looking for a private, personalized experience, and would happily book again.

Dear Mehul P. I am very grateful to you for your great reviews on three days tour in Hiroshima, Kyoto and Nara. The first day you visited at Hiroshima, where you had a painful but valuable experience. The second day, you visited at four-must see sites such as Fushimi-Inari shrine, Sanjyu-sangendo temple, Nijyo castle and Golden pavilion temple. You may understand that how deeply Japanese culture has been influenced by Buddhism . the last day you visited at Nara, where you entered into the Great buddha hall and feeding deer crackers and visited at the most oldest wooden made Horyuji temple. I feel so happy because all of your family seem to have happy and unforgettable experiences in this tour, thank you for your cooperation through out the tour. Aug/19 Hiroshi Y.

“A great morning with Hiro”

We had a great morning with Hiro on a very warm day in Kyoto in July, We visited Nijo castle and Chion-in temple, Hiro led us to parts of the sites that we would have missed on our own, and explained their features and history in interesting and sometimes amusing ways. We really enjoyed the tour, and highly recommend Hiro as a guide!

“Kyoto Flash”

Hiro is such an amazing guide! He really takes his time to explain all the sites and their history. He even interacted with my son and made learning fun by testing his knowledge. I highly recommend using Hiro to explore Kyoto's main sites in just one day.
