We got the honor to get a tour from Sota. He was so friendly and well educated in Japanese history. He spoke great English and took pictures of us during the whole tour. Sota made our day and we are really lucky to have met him. ❤️We highly recommend you to get your tour from him!

10/10- Exceptional Guide and Local Insight
We had a lovely tour and are so glad we decided to do it. We were approached with the opportunity to have a guide and learn more about the culture, shrines, and temples, and we gained far more insight than we ever could have from simply Googling information or exploring on our own.
Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. After we shared that we wanted to hike all the way to the top of the mountain, they kindly accompanied us to midway all while providing fascinating explanations and knowledge along the route.
We truly appreciated both the wealth of knowledge and the personal, welcoming experience. Thank you for making our visit so memorable! We hope your business continues to flourish and wish you all the best for the future!

The Perfect Guide for Fushimi Inari!
We had an absolutely amazing experience touring the Fushimi Inari Torii Gates with Tom! He spoke excellent English, was incredibly friendly, and was extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of the shrine. He made the tour engaging, enjoyable, and truly memorable. Tom was happy to answer all of our questions and went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Kyoto. Thank you, Tom, for such an unforgettable experience!

Personal and Very Interesting
I had been to fushimi-inari before and genuinely had no Idea how much I was missing. We got explanations for so many little details about the whole complex and Japanese culture, which made the experience much more than the surface level you take with you by just walking through everything. He was also a very friendly and Warm Person, I would definitely recommend this tour.

An Unexpected Highlight in Kyoto
I had such a wonderful experience meeting Tom spontaneously at Fushimi Inari Shrine. He kindly offered to show me around and shared so much interesting information about the traditions, history, and cultural background of the shrine. It was fascinating to see the place through his eyes and learn about all the details I would have otherwise missed.
Beyond the tour itself, Tom was also incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. We had such a lovely conversation, which made the whole experience feel very personal and enjoyable.
Thank you, Tom, for such a memorable and unexpected experience! I would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting Fushimi Inari Shrine. 😊
