Discovering Kyoto’s Quiet Corners with a Wonderful Guide

My wife and I enjoyed a truly wonderful guided tour with Michiko-san in mid-October. Because Kyoto is so popular with visitors, we had asked Michiko-san if she might show us a few places “off the beaten path.” She crafted a thoughtful itinerary that included Gion Shinbashi, Nijō-jō Castle, and several lovely sites in the Arashiyama area. Apart from the Bamboo Grove in Arashiyama (which we especially wanted to experience, even knowing it would be crowded), every place she brought us felt calm and unhurried. I particularly appreciated this, as I had injured my knee shortly before our trip and needed a gentler pace throughout the six-hour tour. Michiko-san also arranged a delightful sushi lunch at a small restaurant in Arashiyama — a meal that remains near the very top of our list from our seventeen-day journey across Japan. Her kindness, attentiveness, and insights into each location enriched our understanding and deepened our appreciation of Kyoto. It was truly a five-star experience, and we are sincerely grateful to have had Michiko-san as our guide to this remarkable city.

Dear Andrew, thank you for your thoughtful and heartwarming review and the lovely photo you shared. It was my great pleasure to see how deeply you both cherish Japanese culture, history, and nature. I was also deeply impressed by how you savored each place and moment, enjoying your journey with such joy. I hope you'll come back to Japan again with Lisa sometime in the future!

Outstanding VIP Tour Arrangement by Michiko-san”

We urgently needed to arrange a VIP guest tour, and Michiko-san was able to accommodate even the most difficult requests. Although the payment was not completed until the day before the tour, Michiko-san kindly understood our hotel’s circumstances. Our VIP were extremely satisfied with Michiko-san’s service, and we would very much like to request her support again in the future.
