Private car tour in Kyoto (up to 4)

Kosuke is amazing! He was great with the kids and knows all the best spots. He also took amazing pictures for our family. It was truly a “Ko VIP” experience. We will recommend he to all our friends and family! And will definitely use him again next time. I wish we would have booked two days.

Friends had recommended Kosuke as a guide for Kyoto and surrounds. We booked him for our first full day in Kyoto. Ko had a van so was our driver and guide. We were delighted with his service. Our only plan was to visit locations that we wouldn't get to readily ourselves. Ko built upon these during the day with suggested places to visit, lunch and shopping. By the end of the day it felt like we were saying goodbye to a dear friend. Thank you so much Ko. Our mistake was not booking Kosuke for more days!

Amazing service, family friendly and easy going, took us to all the best places to see so much in 1 day, knew all the tips and tricks to get most out of our day, our daughter was so excited with the Koi feeding place he showed us, highly recommend Kosuke for a tour when in Kyoto.

Spent a full day with Kosuke We visited Bamboo forest - Golden pavilion - Hirano shrine - Ryuhonji temple - Sanjyusangendo - Fushimi inari shrine He took us to areas less frequented by tourists for cherry blossom photos , a large local supermarket and a homewares store for shopping. He navigated Kyoto streets with ease knowing all the shortcuts to save time. Was so knowledgeable about history and the city. He was easy to talk to and very flexible. He was also happy to collect us and our luggage from one hotel at the start of the tour and deliver us to another hotel in Kyoto at the end. To top it all off he knew all the great photo spots and we ended up with some fabulous photos Thank you Kosuke.!!! Hope to see you again soon

Our Kyoto day trip was absolutely unforgettable, and it was all thanks to Ko! 🎋 From the peaceful beauty of Komyoin Temple and Hashin Garden to the vibrant torii gates of Fushimi Inari Shrine, Ko made every stop meaningful with stories and insights we never would’ve discovered on our own. He is an excellent photographer as well as he knows all the angles to capture the perfect photo of our family while blocking out the crowds in the background - amazing! Walking through the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest felt magical, and the hike up to the Monkey Park was such a fun and rewarding experience — Ko kept the energy high the whole time! We also explored the charming streets of Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka and it felt like stepping back in time. We also had a quick stop at the Shinsen-en Temple with the Koi pond where our kids enjoyed feeding the giant koi fishes! Ko was knowledgeable, organized, and incredibly thoughtful — making sure everyone was comfortable (moving the van closer to us each time so no need to walk far), enjoying each moment . We learned so much about Kyoto’s history and culture while still having plenty of laughs along the way. Highly recommend Ko if you want a Kyoto experience that’s seamless, fun, and truly memorable. Thank you for such an amazing day!

Ko gave us a wonderful and full two-day experience of Kyoto& Nara for our group of 4 older (active) adults. His knowledge about the landmarks and history of Japan enriched our experience, and he had great recommendations for our free time away from him. We took a casual approach to planning our itinerary, and he accommodated all of our wishes, adding in some unique visits (2 private Buddhist temples, one with tea ceremony). I highly recommend Ko for a great way to see Kyoto!

Kosuke was the best! It was our first time to Kyoto and he took us to six must see places. His recommendations were spot on and he even helped us find the perfect souvenirs to take back to our kids. He also took tons of photos of us which was a nice bonus. We would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Kyoto.

We loved our time with Ko. He is flexible, very accommodating, and took us to amazing places that we would not have known to go on our own. Moreover, Ko is a genuinely nice person. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him — and he also takes fantastic pictures. I recommend him very highly.

My family and I spent the most amazing day with Kosuke on the 27/10. Kosuke absolutely nailed everything I asked and even went out of his way to show us some extra spots that blew us away. Kosuke’s expertise ensured our family made the most of our jam packed day and was even able to help us avoid the hoards of fellow tourists. We were able to visit Fushimi Inari, Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, Komyoin Temple, Otaginenbutsuji Temple & The Arashiyama Monkey Park - the highlights for us though were the spots he took us that were complete surprised The Shinsenen Koi Fish and Sanjyusangendo 1000 statues of Buddha. Not only did he provide us with extensive knowledge of all these places but he took some amazing family photos for us and was incredibly patient and kind to my boisterous 10 & 5 year olds. Do yourself favour book with Kosuke. It was genuinely one of the highlights of our entire trip and his prices for an entire day tour and incredibly reasonable. Thank you Kosuke! You helped us make core memories

Kosuke-san is an absolute delight, very accomodating to my family's requests. His info nuggets of the city are great and he has vast knowledge on where to go for elderly people. His vehicle is also spacious, a plus for larger people. He definitely made our trip in Kyoto a memorable and comfortable one!
