They only focus on photography services, which made me feel that they are very professional. That’s also one of the reasons why I chose them.
Before the photoshoot, if you need to wear a kimono, the photographer is also very helpful and can recommend a good kimono rental shop. After the shoot, the photographer even recommended some authentic Japanese restaurants for us.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I really enjoyed every part of it. Highly recommended!

Bunon was a fabulous instructor! She taught us how to craft chopsticks from scratch with so much patience and care. Even when things got a bit chaotic with another guest who kept rushing through the steps, Bunon remained completely calm, sweet, and supportive. She kept us engaged the entire time with fantastic conversation—which was perfect because my partner loves to talk, and Bunon was so fun to chat with! She checked our progress at every step to ensure our chopsticks turned out beautifully. If you want a fun, authentic, and high-quality crafting experience in Japan, book this class with Bunon!

The itinerary was very fulfilling, and every scenic spot was beautiful. One part of the trip involved taking the Eizan Electric Railway to Kurama Station, which was a very special experience!

Excellent experience to bike around local temples and world heritage spots around the Gion area. Miki our guide, adopted our itinerary based on our interest and limited time. It was nice to see some of sites before the 9 am rush of tourist. This e-bike is perfect for those who comfortable riding bikes in city traffic and some uphill climbs. We had a beautiful experience visiting the sites in the this part of Kyoto.

we were with Tobi, he was such an energetic young guide with a lot of information, and we really enjoyed the tour with him.
We highly recommend asking for Tobi to be your tour guide whenever you book this tour.

A beautiful evening for a guided stroll through Gion. Our tour guide Daniel was very knowledgeable and efficient. The 6pm time slot was perfect, especially seeing the sunset and Lanterns come to light. It’s a magical area.

We went on the tour of Kyoto with Thea. Our group was around 10 people and lasted.for about 2.5 hours. What a great way to get to see and understand the history of Kyoto. Both my 9 & 12 year old loved the tour as well, even more than the kitsunge workshop that we took earlier today. Thea was great in how she gave the group time to take photos, pray at different shrines if we wanted to, and helped capture nice family photos.
Tip: Book a time about an hour before sunset so you can see some of the temples in daylight but also see Gion at night with lanterns.
