  • A guest room (Zashiki) in Kawai Kanjiro Memorial House.
  • If you want to see the interior of a traditional Japanese House , I recommend you to visit Kawai Kanjiro Memorial House . It's quite amazing that the Emperor and Empress visited this Memorial House in 2008.
  • People used to decorate rooms with Mayudama decoration comprising a willow twig hung with cocoon-shaped rice cakes during a New Year's Season.
  • Kawai Kanjiro was a versatile artist . He became a noted pottery and ceramic artist. He was a sculptor and famous calligrapher. When you enter the House , Something strange but lovely wooden object welcoms you."yokoso okoshi yasu"
  • This is Jishu Shrine. Jisyu Shrine is famous for matchmaking. Many people come to pray for good matches.
  • This is Otowa no Taki waterfall. The three streams symbojize good health academic achievement and finding a good match in marrige.

“ Amazing day in Kyoto with Hiroshi ”

Hiro-san is an outstanding tour guide. He speaks excellent English and his voice carries well so that everyone in the group could hear. He added lots of interesting information to give context to the beautiful sights. He really went above and beyond. Highly recommended.

Dear Kurt M. I am grateful to you for your great reviews touring four must-see sites in Kyoto. I also enjoyed guiding with such a happy family like yours. I hope that you will visit Japan again in a very near future. Best regards Mar 29 Hiroshi
