We had great time with our Guide Irhasy / Hashi in Kyoto. He is knowledgeable, very kind to accommodate request and his English is excellent. We had great lifetime memories in Kyoto.

We started our day at dawn at Fushimi Inari Shrine on a solo trek through the gates-if you wait it gets too crowded to go with all of the group tours. Then we met up with Yuko- she was a great guide who knows Japanese culture and sights really well and yet she speaks perfect English! She led us to the old Imperial Palace (Kyoto Gyoen) and gardens where she filled us in with lots of history and we saw some beautiful Sakura and Plum trees. Then, because Yuko had researched, we were fortunate to catch a glimpse of Anaraku-ji Temple which is only open during camellia blooming season as the lovely grounds there are covered with them. We had already seen the Golden Temple, so Yuko suggested we see the Silver Temple which was wonderful. The view of the city when you walk up the path around the garden is spectacular! This is a great spot for panoramic photo of Kyoto. Afterwards, we headed over to the Market for buying a knife and kimono which was so nice to have Yuko to help find a store for these items. We were a little hungry and tired and wanted to sit to eat so she took us to this perfect spot where we had sake, soup and other light delicious bites and we learned more about food culture and sake tasting. Lastly, we went to an ikebana (Japanese floral art) display which was fascinating and I took soooo many photos. Thank you for the best day Yuko!!!

Taibi was great. He tailored our tour around our interests (adults and kids) and even went out of his way to show us additional places for us to visit after the tour. He also gave us some non-touristy tips! Thank you, Taibi for a great afternoon in Kyoto!
