    We recently had the pleasure of experiencing a private tour in Kobe with Kyoko, and it was truly exceptional. Kyoko’s attentiveness and genuine care were evident from the start. Her passion for culture and history shone through as she shared fascinating insights throughout the tour. What made our experience even more special was her thoughtful planning. Kyoko asked in advance about our preferences and ensured that the entire itinerary was accessible for my mother, who is confined to a wheelchair. Her kindness and thoroughness made our visit unforgettable. We highly recommend Kyoko for anyone looking to explore Kobe with a knowledgeable and compassionate guide.
