Our guide Yoshii was very good. He took us to inari shrine and kiyomizu temple and provided us with a lot of new knowledge as well as taking care of us through the day.

Our guide Mizu was waiting for us at our hotel. She had materials to help us understand Japanese history and religion. She got us around the city on the subway to the different sites. (We would still be there trying to figure it out.) A great afternoon and would hire again.

Our guide Yuka was so kind and knowledgeable about each of the areas we chose for the tour. We learned so much about Kyoto’s history and cultural significance. She made our transit around the city easy and fast. Thank you Yuka!

Guided by Mr. Yasu, we visited Kinkaku-ji, Ryoan-ji, and Sanjusangendo. It was a wonderful travel experience, and we learned lots about Japanese history and culture. Mr. Yasu was very well-prepared and patient in his explanations; he was an excellent guide. I hope to have the opportunity to visit more historical and cultural sites in Japan together in the future.

My husband and I booked this private walking tour during our two week trip and this was our favorite day in Japan! Mizu was our guide and she was incredible!!!! So knowledgeable, kind, flexible, and fun to talk to. She shared so much history with us and taught us so much about the culture and beauty of Japan. She made this tour the most special and wonderful experience. I highly recommend any tour with her as you will be in excellent hands. Thank you Mizu for an experience we will cherish forever!
