Kiyoshi is a pleasure to spend the day with! - Kiyoshi was our guide to Arashiyama Bamboo Forest and Monkey Park. He was kind, patient, interesting and very knowledgeable. He engaged our kids, was a pleasure to walk with and his English is great. He has a mellow demeanor and always with a smile. We had a lovely day with him and highly recommend Kiyoshi!!!

Arashiyama private walking tour - We did a private tour of the Arashiyama area of Kyoto with Osamu. He was a great guide and got us beyond the tourists to some beautiful temples and shrines we might have missed on our own. It was great to have a deeper understanding of all we had seen so far and he was very patient answering all of my many questions! Great tour and we all agreed one of our highlights.

Awesome day trip - Kei was very friendly, and the Aragashi bamboo grooves and temple visits were amazing! My family enjoyed it. It was very hot in late July.
