Expert local knowledge and thoughtful planning

Mr Koki did an outstanding job planning out one-day tour at Kyoto with key sights per my request, not only the sequence of location, but also the time spent at each site and the efficient logistics traveling from one site to another. We were very impressed with his in-depth knowledge and story-telling about the historical and cultural background of those famous sites at Kyoto as well as the local traditions. He also introduced us to the delicious local food and drinks. It was definitely the highlight of our Japan trip.

Hi Yunshu Thank you very much for your very excellent feedback and evaluation. It was a day trip from Tokyo, so the itinerary was a bit hectic, I was able to show you the points you wanted to see without any problems. I was very surprised at you and Cary deep knowledge of history. I hope you will continue to deepen you and his love of history. I'm look forward to seeing you again in Kyoto or somewhere else in Japan in the near future. Next time. Please stay in Kyoto for a few days and enjoy in all seasons. Thank you very much. Koki

Koki is the best guide in Kyoto!

We were 2 families with 4 teenagers wanting to experience Kyoto with a local. Koki was amazing. He took us to multiple temples and shrines along with the market and downtown. He was informative, patient and kind! We loved this tour.

Koki N.

Thank you very much for your compliments. It was a very hot day, but I'm glad that you enjoyed your day in Kyoto. I hope you will visit Kyoto again to enjoy the seasonal beauty of the city. I'm look forward to seeing you in the near future.

Our guided visit of Kyoto with Koki was the highlight of our 2 week trip!

I have never written a review before but Koki was such a fantastic guide that I wanted to highly recommend his services to anyone visiting Kyoto. This was the first time I have ever booked a private, customised tour and I am so glad that I did as it made the whole experience so much more enriching. My husband, 10 yo and 8 yo and I spent an amazing day with Koki on a very busy Saturday in Kyoto during peak sakura viewing time. We were so fortunate with the timing and the sunshine, but the tour with Koki took it to a whole new level. Koki's flexibility with the starting time and itinerary of our tour to avoid large crowds (at his suggestion) was greatly appreciated. His knowledge of each of the areas we visited was extensive, with stories, traditions and rituals being explained in detail. We went to Kiyomizudera before the tour buses arrived, the Gion area, Yasaka Shrine and Kinkakuji. Koki understood that two small kids get tired easily and he suggested we visit Kodaiji Temple where the children happily made their own zen gardens and did some calligraphy in a beautifully serene setting. Koki also took some beautiful photos of our family together. At the end of our tour, Koki took us to see sakura over the river and walked us through Nishiki market, happily giving some of his own time to do so. Not only did Koki provide us with lifelong memories on our Saturday together, he also gave lots of practical advice for how we could best enjoy the other activities we had planned during our stay in Kyoto. If you are looking for a guide in Kyoto, I would recommend Koki without any hesitation. Thank you, Koki, for a truly unforgettable experience!

Hi Louise Thank you for your wonderful comments. I too enjoyed spending a day with you and your family in Kyoto while the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Please come to Japan again. I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for joining our tour. Regards Koki
