From Kobi port, 4 hours...

Thomas_B, Oct 2025

From Kobi port, 4 hours of traveling to Kyoto and back but saw sites not to be missed. Our guide was punctual, knowledgeable, and considerate.

Fantastic Tour

Kathy_G, May 2025

This is a fabulous day trip to Kyoto. Our guide, Akihiro, could not have been any better. He was very friendly and full of information about all the sites. He made transportation and all the logistics very easy. As three older women, we really appreciated that. I highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Dear Kathy, Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We’re truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day trip to Kyoto and that Akihiro was able to make the experience so memorable and smooth for you. We also deeply appreciate that, despite being seasoned travelers who have visited many countries, you still found a special interest in exploring Japan. It is always a pleasure to share the beauty and culture of our country with such enthusiastic and engaged guests. Should you have the opportunity to visit Japan again, we would be honored to assist you in making more wonderful memories. Best regards, Moeka MY Travel Consulting

The experience was made...

Janet_H, Mar 2025

The experience was made all the better by our guide, Akihiro. His Interpretation & enthusiasm of the sights, his historical knowledge, & his flexibility to adapt the tour made to our requests made it all more memorable! His English was good & he made the best use of our time! He was prompt picking us up at our location & made sure we were back again safely! We are an older couple & he was cautious not to stress us beyond our capabilities. If we could have stayed in Japan longer, we would have hired him for more trips! We highly recommend Akihiro & Viator!

Response from Host, May 2025

His passion for history, flexibility in tailoring the tour to your needs, and attentiveness to your comfort are qualities we deeply value, and we’re glad they contributed to a meaningful day for you both. Akihiro will be especially happy to know that his efforts were so appreciated. When you return to Japan in the future, we would be honored to welcome you back for more journeys. Thank you again for your recommendation and trust. Best wishes, Manami
