Akira Saved The Day!

Our family spent 2 days with Akira showing us around Kyoto. On the second day we had a pretty negative experience with a planned bike tour to the bamboo forest and had to cancel it last minute. Akira came up with an alternative plan that honestly was better than what the bike tour would have been. We were still able to go to the bamboo forest but in a more relaxed way and Akira also showed us a charming street with stores that my kids loved exploring. Akira helped us turn a rough spot into a fun and memorable afternoon. He is awesome!

Yes, that day was certainly an unforgettable one for all of us. We went through quite a lot together, and as we all know, things do not always go according to plan. However, we managed to handle the unexpected challenges in the best way possible. Despite everything, I believe we were still able to visit all the places you wanted to see and accomplish everything we had hoped to do. In the end, what started as a difficult situation turned into something positive, and I hope it will remain a special and memorable part of your trip. Thank you again, and I truly hope we will have the opportunity to meet each other again in the future. Wishing you many wonderful memories from your time here in Japan.

Great afternoon in Kyoto

Our family had a great experience with Akira as our guide. He was friendly, flexible, and knowledgeable. He made sure the kids understood the history of temples and shrines in Kyoto. He also helped us understand the Geisha history and training while we were walking around Gion. Akira spent a second day with our family and was very flexible to change up the plans based on what my kids seemed really interested in during the trip. We would recommend Akira to any family visiting Kyoto.

Thank you very much for your kind review. It was truly a pleasure and an honor to meet your family here in Kyoto. We shared a wonderful time together, and honestly, it felt a little too short. I wish we could have spent more time together exploring even more of Japan’s history and culture. Thank you again, and I sincerely hope you enjoyed your trip and created many wonderful memories. Wishing you all the best, and I hope our paths cross again someday.
