Highlights
  • Arashiyama - TOGETSUKYO BRIDGE The most recognizable feature of Arashiyama is the Togetsukyo Bridge, also known as the “Moon Crossing Bridge”. It was most recently rebuilt in the 1930s after being created during the Heian Period (794–1185). The bridge appears especially lovely against the backdrop of the wooded slope. Adjacent to the bridge is a riverbank park dotted with scores of cherry trees. HAMMOOSE GROVES Nice walks and bicycle rides can be had along the walking routes that go through the bamboo trees. When there is a light wind and the long bamboo stalks softly move back and forth, the woods become very picturesque. Bamboo has been utilized for generations in local workshops to make a variety of goods, including mats, cups, boxes, and baskets. SANSO VILLA OKOCHI This is

Amazing English speaking Custom Private car tour in Kyoto!! - Hasham was excellent! He was super flexible! Our train from Tokyo didn’t arrive until 11:44am. He worked with our schedule and took us to the places we wanted to see as well as room us to places we should see. We will definitely recommend him and call him again when we return to Kyoto!!

Perfect private day with guide NOMI in Kyoto - Perfect and wonderful day spent with NOMI. I read the reviews from someone else that had Nomi as their driver and asked for him when I booked the trip. We were 6 persons from 7 year to slow walking grandmother and he was very helpful and caring to all of us. He speaks good English (and also Indonesian, Urdu, Hindi, Arabic and Japanese) and have the driver’s license in 4 countries 😊. He tok nice pictures of us all and told us lots of information. We loved all of this trip and lots of nice tings to see. We even had very much rain all day long and still had a good time. The kids loved the monkey Forrest (the monkey was not aggressive) up in the mountain and the grandmother loved waiting at a Japanese cafe. Recommend this tour, special whit Nomi. Alice from Norway 😊👍

Excellent private tour - We are a family of 5 having a reunion from US and India for a birthday trip and had an excellent day with Nomi. Nomi was very accommodating for our multi generational family. He communicated detailed information for all the sites in a way that was interesting and easy to understand. We had a very productive day seeing all the sites. It would not have been possible without Nomi. The private car option was the only way our family would have been able to visit all the sites and it was very comfortable and convenient. Thank you again for making our trip memorable!

Best experience ever in Kyoto!! Five stars!! - I can’t say enough positive things about this experience. I specifically requested Nomi based on prior reviews and he did not disappoint! He was amazing and one of the best guides I’ve ever had! His English was very good, as he fluently speaks over 5 languages and has an intimate and extensive knowledge of each of the sites as well as important local information, costs for houses in each of districts, general cost for rent, auto regulations for those who intend to rent or purchase homes with parking spaces, etc. He knew of all the local restaurants and brought is to the most amazing Japanese restaurant for lunch based specifically on our requests. His friendly, affable personality was so enjoyable and he was so flexible and customized our experience based on our requests and preferences. My kids and I felt as if we were getting a 5 star experience with a friend. Did I also mention that his knowledge of each site was detailed and provided incredible history - just Top Notch from beginning to end - way more than expected! Ask for Nomi and you get the absolute best experience ever guaranteed!

Don’t miss this experience! - What a magical day! Our wonderful guide, Nomi, was knowledgeable, kind and professional. We had a full, customized itinerary. Nomi patiently guided our multigenerational family all around Kyoto and helped us learn so much about this incredible city. This private tour was one of the highlights of our visit to Japan. We highly recommend this tour - and we hope you’re lucky enough to have Nomi as your guide.

Pick a different tour! - This is not a tour. The “guide” is just an English speaking driver who drives you around. He didn’t go in with us, he didn’t even tell us anything about the sites we were seeing while we were driving place to place. Get a Japanese licensed guide for your tour, they are the best! This was just a very expensive taxi!
