“Highest Possible Rating! Above and Beyond! Outstanding!!”
My two friends and I toured Kyoto today with Michiko. She was amazingly knowledgeable, engaging, and charming. We all enjoyed her company and learned a great deal. I'm and old guy with bad knees. The sun was blazing and the going was tough, but Michiko was patient with me and more than helpful. I would not have completed the tour without her, and I will never forget her kindness. Her restaurant recommendation was equally spot on with the best food we've had on this trip. Thank you, Michiko! Steve, Jake, and Peter

“Amazing Nara Trip”
We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Michiko as our tour guide! Her communication leading up to the tour was outstanding. She tailored our itinerary perfectly to accommodate our schedule. Through her, we gained a deep understanding of Japan’s rich culture. Michiko guided us thoughtfully and thoroughly through the shrine and temple, sharing detailed insights along the way. We truly enjoyed our experience with her and wholeheartedly recommend her services. We look forward to having Michiko as our guide again on our next trip to Japan!

Thank you for the wonderful review. It was my great pleasure to be a guide to such a kind-hearted couple. How exciting to find a newborn fawn behind an old stone lanterns, wasn't it? I was also impressed that you’ve got interested in and appreciated our culture and lifestyle.There are many more gems to be found throughout Japan. Please come back to look for them with your family!

“Amazing 4 hour Kyoto Tour”
We absolutely loved our Kyoto tour with Michiko - this was truly one of our highlights during our Japan trip so far. We learned a lot from her profound knowledge and very much enjoyed her kind company. The tour was also perfect for our 1 year old daughter as Michiko was very thoughtful, considered all our wishes and picked the perfect spots for us. She also made sure that there was no rush and that all of us (including our little one) could truly enjoy the tour. We highly recommend Michiko as a tour guide and are very happy to have met her.

Thank you for your wonderful review. It was a great pleasure to guide such a lovely family like you on a beautiful fresh green morning. Just remembering the innocent smile of the one year old baby and the good cooperation between you and your husband makes me happy. I hope you will continue to enjoy this trip with your family at your own pace. See you again!

I have worked in the multi-national organizations including UN agency for around 30 years and stationed at various cities including Rome, Bangkok and Hanoi. Although I have retired from those international carriers, I wish to keep the international cooperation and develop the friendship with people who visits our country. As I like history and am practicing Noh song and wood curving of Buddha images, I have decided to live in Nara where is surrounded by many historical places and traditional cultures, when I returned back to Japan in 2017. I wish to offer you custom made trip ideas to be able to enjoy the atmosphere of old city, Nara. I am also planning to develop trip plans to enjoy the local cultures. Please call me Yasu.

Hi, I am Shuji, a licensed tour guide living near Kansai International Airport. I taught world history in high schools for four decades. So, I can explain Japanese culture or history in an easier way tailored to you who have different cultural and historical backgrounds. I also practiced Kendo, Japanese fencing, for more than four decades, and now I enjoy growing vegetables and going fishing. Therefore, I can also share some Japanese culture and its nature. I have traveled to more than 25 countries and all over Japan. I’m also passionate about photography and know many photogenic places in Japan. If you prefer to go off the beaten track, I can take you to hidden gems, including some cozy restaurants. Of course, I also know how to enjoy the crowded, most popular tourist sites. I am here to make your trip stress-free. See you soon!

Hi! I'm Keiko. I was born in Osaka,raised in Nara, and now live in Kyoto, each of which is a lovely place. I love cooking, travelling, eating, and meeting lots of people, which led me my current job as a tour guide and a cooking instructor here in Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan. I'd like to show you the charms of Kyoto; the world heritage sites, nice spots good for social media, nice foods, hidden gems off the beaten track with the story of Japanese culture and history. And I'd also like to assist you to make a lovely day through my Japanese cooking experience class. Additionally, I love children and of course, respect the elderly. The kids usually take to me right away! I'd like to assist every member of your multi-generation family touring in Kyoto by my suggestions. I look forward to welcoming you. See you soon!
