Great day in Kyoto - Riku was our tour guide who was a very nice young man with patience, graciousness and good positive energy. He did a nice job taking us in his vehicle to several different cultural sites on a cold wet day. Umbrellas were provided and it was great to have the vehicle close by. Stopped at a nice local place for a yummy lunch. We always felt comfortable and had a wonderful day in Kyoto.
