Have Questions? We've Got Answers
Sure, you can do it yourself, but chances are you’ll end up walking around aimlessly because you don’t know what you’re looking at.
Maybe you can find restaurants online but will you be let in? Recently, restaurant owners have been refusing non-Japanese tourists unless they speak Japanese or know the owner. Plus, I know the good ones from the tourist traps
There is a booking form we ask clients to fill out. You simply list basic information concerning your tour choice, name and contact details and we reply as soon as possible.
The maximum number is 4 clients
Rain or shine our tours will be held. However, during the typhoon season (August-October) we experience torrential downpours and strong winds and in these cases the tours will be cancelled. I will contact you to let you know whether the tour is actually cancelled.

More than just a guide, I’m more like a “local friend” who helps you get an insider’s look into Kyoto.
Being a native English speaker from Canada, yet also fluent in Japanese clients have told me I’m easily to relate to and communicate with.
I’ve actually lived and breathed Japan, encountering tons of personal experiences over 15 + years, providing you with insights into Japanese people, culture and beyond.
