We had a great day with Kazu touring Arishiyama. Kazu is extremely knowledgeable and provided an excellent overview of Kyoto history. The day was well planned and we got a full perspective on each site was visited. Kazu speaks excellent English and is a friendly and interesting guide. We highly recommend him with 5 stars.

Great personal guide
We were met by Yuka at our hotel. She was very personable and professional. She explained where we were going and how to get there. She had great knowledge and explained what we were seeing.. At the end of the tour, there was still more time. She offered to take us to the market which was a couple of kilometres from the Golden Temple where we were. She took us to the market, and showed us how to get back to our hotel. Really enjoyed the market.

Fabulous tour in Arashiyama!
Our tour Arashiyama park was fabulous! Our guide Kazuo S. was knowledgeable, passionate about Japan’s culture and history, friendly and very flexible with a good command of English language. Kazuo organized everything and made out tour relaxing and enjoyable; he showed us not only places in itinerary but also some unique and hidden Arashiyama jams and treasures. It was an amazing day! We highly recommend this tour and our guide to people who want to know more about Japan.

Thorough, beautiful sites, and informative
Tom was our guide. He spoke fluent English and was able to communicate enough with the Japanese locals at all the stops. He is very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and was able to answer the questions we peppered his way. The tour felt thorough and unrushed.

A wonderful day in Sagano/ Arashyama
Had a wonderful time with Michi san. He’s very knowledgeable and flexible. Visiting the Shugakuin Imperial Villa was a unique experience. We had excellent views of Arashyama, slightly away from the crowds. I took many beautiful photos.

Walking Arashiyama & Sagano
You need a knowledgeable guide to get the most out of the experience. Arashiyama is so much more than a pretty backdrop for photos. So much history & culture

Great tour of monkey park and bamboo forest
We had a great tour of the Kyoto monkey park and bamboo forest. Our guide Michi was terrific. He made the tour both fun and educational for our entire family. He also showed us many other sites in the Arashimaya area that were interesting and very pretty. We cannot say enough great things about Michi.
