“ Whirlwind tour of Kyoto ”

Hiroshi accommodated our requests for particular destinations and we covered an impressive amount of ground in a single day. His English vocabulary is expansive and he had a lot of information about the sites and areas we visited. He did miss a few questions, and his walking pace was sometimes a challenge to keep up with, but overall was attentive and responsive. He also took photos for us and emailed them to us afterward, which was a nice touch. Overall a great value and a nice day exploring the city.

“ Kyoto in less than two days ”

My family of six had many plans for sight seeing in Kyoto. The tough part was how to see all the sights in the limited amount of time. Hiro was the best. He took the time we had in Kyoto and personalized two trips (over two days) for us that worked with our time and took into consideration that we had JR passes. First day: Bamboo Forest, Monkey Park, and the Fushimi shrine. Hiro warned us that that would be a lot of walking. But he designed an itinerary for us. Nijo-jo Castle and the Golden Temple were seen the second day, and he dropped us off at the JR station as we requested. Hiro is full of energy, and he is very personable!

“ Excellent Knowledgeable Guide - you won't go wrong hiring Hiroshi, I guarantee ”

Our family of 4 had a great time touring Kyoto. Hiroshi was simply great. He explained all the details and history of all the spots he took us in Kyoto. Without him, I am sure we couldn't even seen half of the places we would intended to see. He knows Kyoto in and out as he was a native of this town. His knowledge about all the tourist spot and attractions was very evident - he knows this stuff for real. He was not worried about the time, as we took more time to get lunch, stopped at every souvenir shop. He was patient with us and gave us space and privacy when needed. He is very respectful. I guarantee you won't go wrong by hiring him as your tour guide. He's the best.

“ Kyoto trip ”

We had only 1,5 days in Kyoto and wanted to see a lot! We had a very big list of things to see. With excellent time management skills and knowledge of the area he guided us with ease! We were able to see not only main attraction but also some hidden gems of Kyoto. We would not be able to see all of it on our one! Thank you! Kindly, Jurgita

Hiroshi:

Dear Jurgita Thank you for your great reviews on July 14 and 15 tour in Kyoto. I was amazed when I got a request in which you asked me to visit at Adashino-nenbutsu dera temple in Arashiyama. You were the first couple of my guests who visited at Nen-butsu dera temple located in remote area in Arashiyama district. What amazed me most was that both of you seemed have an aesthtic sense of beauty to the temple's garden and the folkcraft. Best regards July 18 Hiroshi Y.
