It was nice experience touring Kyoto with Hiroshi-san. Even though we were late, he waited patiently and showed us around t place.

Hiroshi:

Dear Sangeetha Thank you for your compliment on Nov 25 tour in Kyoto. I wish we had at least one hour more time ! If so, I could show you walking in the Gion district and shine more brightly Golden Pavilion temple in the evening. Best regards Hiroshi Y.

“ A day of fun and learning.. ”

Spent all day from Hiroshi in Nara- went to few of the major sites and then some off-the-beaten paths as well as as sake tasting and a nice placer to lunch and lots of sweets ....Every thing was a learning experience and was done with much laughter...

Hiroshi:

Dear Susan I am very grateful to you for your heartfelt reviews of the one day tour in Nara. I had a pleasant day because I visited at Tadaiji-temple so early morning about 8:30 am. I enjoyed walking around in the Todaiji temple premises in quiet and calm atmosphere. I also enjoyed visiting at Shin-yakushiji-temple, where is a kind of off the beaten sites in Nara. I was deeply attracted to the twelve guardian statues in this temple. Best regards Hiroshi Y.

“ Simple Fun at Kyoto ”

Mr Hiro is a good guide. He adjusted the schedule and scope of the tour according to our needs. He did not rush us in each site. He lets us take as much photos we want. He also took us to a good affordable restaurant for lunch. It was just too bad that we were not able to see geishas at Gion district. He did not know that the shops were closed during Sundays. We could have gone to the Bamboo Grove instead of the Gion District. Mr. Hiroshi does not have much information to share regarding the sites but it was fine with us. Thank you for your service, Mr Hiro. We had a good time and your pictures of us are great! Thank you.

Hiroshi:

Dear Josephine Thank you for your compliment on Nov 11 tour in Kyoto. I apologize to you for bringing you to the Gion district where all of the Geiko-san houses closed on Sundays. In hindsight, I should show you Bamboo forest, instead of Gion district and Kawai -Kanjiro House. so sorry. Yours Nov 16 Hiroshi Y.
