Fantastic tour
Shohei was a great tour guide and was extremely knowledgeable on the history of the temples we saw. His knowledge is the exact reason you would book a tour like this. It’s one thing to walk an area or temple and look around, it’s another thing to listen to the history or how and why they exist.
I’d highly recommend booking with Shohei.

Beautiful day in Kyoto
Our tour with Shohei was wonderful. We learned so much about the history and culture of the city and really appreciated his guidance through the temples and shrines of the area. He also gave us some great tips on things to check out on our own!
