This was the second time that my family did an experience with Akari. The last time was seven years ago and both were excellent. For this trip, we gave Akari a list of eclectic interests, and she did an outstanding job finding unique places to visit aligned with those interests. She is extremely knowledgable about Japanese culture, history, food, and shopping. Finally, Akari designed the tour to accommodate my 93 year old father, which I especially appreciate. I highly recommend this experience with Akari.

It was a very personalized tour and would definitely do it again

Great tour. Helpful introduction to Kyoto. Saw things we wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

Akari-san was wonderful! She reached out prior to our tour to ask what our group of 6 would be interested to experience and then created the perfect afternoon for us at a relaxing pace. She had so much information about Kyoto to share, as well as excellent insights into how we could maximize our time in the city. Akari-san also had an attentive and kind driver arranged for us who had a spacious and luxurious van, which was appreciated. We highly recommend Akari-san’s tour and her attention to detail, as well as taking us to memorable places in Kyoto. She also provided us with photos she took of our family, which was so thoughtful!
