    Our afternoon with Hiro was wonderful! Choosing this experience with Hiro as our first activity in Japan was perfect! In addition to helping our family visit two shrines, Hiro also helped us purchase items that we needed and assisted us with understanding the trains. He also suggested several local restaurants for us to sample. We highly recommend this experience and Hiro!

    A wonderful day with an excellent and knowledgeable guide. Kiyoto took us to places we would not have found and our own.

    My Kyoto tour with Nisa was lovely! Nisa took me to so many shrines to help me fill in my goshuin book! She took me to popular sports, private areares, and made my tour so personalized it was great! She even took some amazing pictures of me along the way! It was like traveling with a friend throughout the city. She even thought be how to use the local bus system so I was able to explore more on my own after the fact. It was a great trip and I’m grateful I was able to go with Nisa :)
