We had an amazing day tour for our family with Kenta. He was so knowledgeable about Kyoto’s history and was extremely accommodating catering the itinerary to suit our family (including two children). We would highly, highly recommend!

It was a great tour! Highly recommended. Kiyoto was very friendly and also got along with my kids very well. We all enjoyed the tour.

Mia speaks English very well and she was easy to communicate with throughout our tour. She was very accommodating and patient with our children, customizing the tour in advance to suit our needs. I highly recommend anybody visiting Kyoto to book a tour with her to discover the beauty and wonder of this special place!

Kokoro designed an itinerary that was the perfect mix of key sites and hidden gems. We would have never seen so much on our own. He made the experience engaging and fun for our family. We had a wonderful time. Thank you, Kokoro!

We had a fantastic full-day walking tour with Kenta! He thoughtfully tailored the experience to our two kids, keeping things fun and engaging while showing us the beauty of Arashiyama, hidden gem temples, and even helping us find the perfect spot to skip rocks across a peaceful Kyoto river. His kind wisdom, cultural insights, and attention to detail made the day both meaningful and memorable. Highly recommend!
