I had been working as an English-speaking tour guide corporate taxi driver in Kyoto for about 9 years . I explore and introduce Kyoto and Japan for my visitors from many countries outside Japan. I love to guide and explain about culture, history, religion and what you have wondered about Japan. I was a Kyoto city authorized tour guide , Certificate No. EN00022 . None

Our time with Tadashi was a highlight of our trip! We communicated ahead of time about our interests and he planned the day just for us. He's incredibly knowledgable and also funny and welcoming. Our teen girls loved the tour, and we all were grateful at his skill and knowledge in getting us around Kyoto during our short time there. I'm amazed at how much we were able to see with him in just a few hours, yet it didn't feel rushed or like we skipped important spots. He also taught us a lot about Japanese history, culture, and religion.

Another fabulous day! Kyoto is such a beautiful city full of history rich cultural traditions -- today we visited a number of shrines and temples. I especially enjoyed my time with Tadashi who has tremendous local knowledge and spiritual context and such a genuinely kind spirit about him. He really brought Kyoto and the Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples to life ... and when I return I will book with him again!!

We just came back from Japan and I must say the tour with Tadashi was the highlight of our Japan visit ,this all thanks to Tadashi who with his pleasant presence equipped with lots of patience for our needs and endless knowledge of the entire culture & sites , made our stay such a wonderful experience. On top of it by having a professional tour guide like Tadashi with his own van allow us to catch up with many more sites and experiences that save us valuable time with the advantage of no need to spend an additional time by the use of a public transportation. Thank you Tadashi for everything ,we are going to be back !

My wife and I toured Kyoto for two days with Tadashi. He is an excellent guide! We prepared a detailed itinerary of sites we wanted to seeprior to our arrival in Kyoto. Tadashi seamlessly took us to all the locations on our list (plus other good ones that we didn’t even know about) while providing exceptionally good insight and information into each place we visited. His detailed knowledge really elevated our experience at each location we visited. It was also wonderful to be driven around Kyoto. Being driven by Tadashi allowed us to see many more wonderful attractions over the two days we were there. If you’re looking for a professional guide, who speaks excellent English, look no further than booking with Tadashi. You will be very happy you booked with him and will receive an excellent tour of beautiful Kyoto.
