About Tour Guide Ayumi S.

“Kyoto with Ayumi was delightful ”

Ayumi was exceptional. She crafted a wonderful day of sightseeing, conversation in English, and local knowledge to make that day the most memorable of my whole trip. I wish I could have toured the whole country with her. Her professionalism and authentic personality was greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you in Kyoto. Your kind words about my professionalism and personality mean a lot to me. I also really enjoyed our time together, and I’m grateful to have been part of such a memorable day during your trip to Japan. It was also nice that we could escape the passing shower by having lunch! I hope you’ll come back to Japan someday so we can explore more beautiful places together!

“Kyoto Highlights in 1 Day: Fushimi Inari, Kinkaku-ji & Arashiyama”

We had a lovely day with Ayumi. She was punctual, organised and very accommodating, made navigating public transport effortless, and booked us excellent local places for lunch and dinner that we would never have found ourselves. What we particularly enjoyed was talking with her about everyday life in Japan — schools, family life and the social system. She is naturally quiet and her style is more about helping you experience the city like a local. A great choice if you value good planning, local food discoveries and a genuine glimpse into everyday Japanese life.

“Osaka Castle, Temples in Osaka and Dotonbori River cruise”

would like to commend our wonderful tour guide, Miss Ayumi, for making our Osaka trip such a memorable and enjoyable experience. She was very hospitable, accommodating, and attentive to our needs throughout the tour. She even accompanied us to a lovely place for dinner, where we truly enjoyed the food and the experience. What made the tour even more meaningful was the way she shared the history, culture, and traditions of Osaka, especially while visiting the beautiful temples. Her knowledge and enthusiasm made each place more interesting and gave us a deeper appreciation of Japan. Thank you, Miss Ayumi, for your kindness, patience, and excellent service. We truly enjoyed our time with you and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Osaka. She is an exceptional tour guide!
