Culinary Journey Through Kyoto with Amy – Absolutely Unforgettable! - Every stop on the tour was thoughtfully chosen — from bustling markets to tucked-away family-run eateries we would never have found on our own. We sampled everything from delicate seasonal sweets to sizzling street food and beautifully crafted traditional dishes. Each bite came with a story, and Amy made every dish come alive by explaining the history, cultural context, and even the people behind the food. If you want to experience the real Kyoto — its flavors, traditions, and soul — this is the tour to book. Amy’s passion and hospitality made it an absolute highlight of our trip to Japan. We left with full bellies, happy hearts, and a much deeper appreciation for Japanese food culture. Highly recommended — a must-do in Kyoto!

Great tour! - Genki was such a kind and patient guide! This tour is necessary if you are visiting Japan, Nara is a must see! There are deer everywhere and the Todai-ji is one of the most impressive temples I have ever seen! Great tour!

Our tour guide was very... - Our tour guide was very kind and the experience was fun but we left disappointed with the false advertisement. We did not tour around Gion. We only walked up one street…. If we would have known, we would’ve booked a different tour. But thank you
