My 15-year-old daughter and I had a fantastic walking tour with Reiko! She was such a pleasure to spend time with, she’s extremely knowledgeable, and she made us feel so welcome in Kyoto. We learned so much from our time with her but also had fun! By the time the tour was over, we didn’t want to say goodbye to her. I highly recommend a tour with Reiko!

We had an amazing time exploring the city and temples. We learned a lot about how to pray and the culture surrounding us, found the best matcha shops and went to one of the coolest Starbucks in Japan. Highly recommend
