Hello,I am HIROSHI YOKOYAMA. Please call me Hiro, not "hero". I have been lived in kyoto
for more than 30years. So, I am very familiar with the city of Kyoto and a unique culture
developed in Japan as well. I can offer you not only historic places like Nijo castle, Kinkakuji temple ,Kiyomizu temple etc., but also off the beaten track spots Nijo jinya house or nicknamed
"ninjya house" ,Katsura Imperial Villa etc.. I am really looking forward to seeing you .

Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) only had one day to see Kyoto, and we're glad we found Hiroshi to help us navigate this beautiful city. Hiroshi picked 3 top sites to show us. He provided historical and cultural background of the places, which we all found very informative. We travelled very efficiently by public transit, and covered a lot of ground in the 8 hrs we spent together. He was willing to show us more, but by the end we were all exhausted and ready to call it a day. He helped us find a taxi to take us back to the train station, so we could travel back to Osaka that night. THANK YOU very much Hiroshi for your great talent in sharing your great city with us, in such an interactive way. We all enjoyed meeting you, and only wish we had more time together.
The whole experience with Hiroshi was great. We contacted a bit last minute and he was very receptive and responsive. He knows the city well and has really nice information for each of the sites. Would recommend!
Dear Rosa E Thank you for your great reviews on Aug 1 one day tour in Kyoto. After one day tour in Kyoto, both of you must be deadly tired due to terribly hot and much humidity ! But you seemed to have been enjoyed touring 4 must-see sites. I was glad to see that both of you had a pleasant trip during that day, thank you. Best regards Aug 21 Hiroshi Y.
We had a fantastic and entertaining tour with Hiroshi. He took us to the places we wanted to see and his depth of knowledge of Kyoto was great. We would rate this tour at 5 stars.
Dear David H I am grateful to you for your great reviews of half a day tour in Kyoto. Even though it was a terrible hot and high humid day, all of you were able to visit at 3 must see sites in Kyoto during the half day tour. I say thank you again for your cooperation. I am glad to hear from that all of you seemed to have enjoyed the tour. Best regards Aug 19 Hiroshi Y.
We all enjoyed our tour so much with Hiroshi. He was so good in explaining everything and directing us to all the places. We could never had done this on our own. He explains all the monuments and what we saw ; it was a great tour. I definitely would go Kyoto like this again. After the tour had finished my husband had wanted to buy some Japanese wine and Hiroshi then took him to a wine shop and helped him find Japanese wine made out of Japanese grapes. It was fabulous Thank you Hiroshi. Hiroshi kept it fun by adding guessing games and we even got a gift at the end of tour. Marvelous day!
