Our family had the best time with our guide, Katsu, on this tour of hidden shrines and temples in Kyoto. He is super knowledgeable and friendly, and he took us on the greatest adventure we had in Kyoto. The places we visited were beautiful and serene, and way off the beaten path. And after our tour, he showed us local ramen spot (not touristy) and it was by far the best ramen we had on our 3 week vacation in Japan. By the end of it all, we felt like we had made a wonderful friend. I highly recommend booking any tour with Katsu!

perfect one day tour

Katsu wasn’t just a guide – he became my first Japanese friend. I joined this tour to escape the crowds, and it took me to truly special places. One shrine in particular, which I was kindly asked not to name, was by far the most breathtaking I’ve seen in Japan. Katsu’s guiding was great, but it’s his personality that made the day unforgettable. Warm, humble, and always smiling – he treats you like a friend, not a customer. After the tour, I mentioned I wanted to buy a specific knife. He called multiple stores in Kyoto to help me find it. That kind of kindness really stayed with me. If you’re looking for more than just sightseeing, this is the tour to book.
