Explore Kyoto Full Day Tour by Minivan

Our private tour of Kyoto with Tadashi K. was a wonderful experience! We saw many amazing places in just one day--from the Bamboo Forest and Ryoan-ji’s famous rock garden to the Golden Pavilion, Nishiki Market, and Fushimi Inari Shrine. Tadashi brought each stop to life with his knowledge, fascinating insights, and genuine love of Kyoto. He was warm, friendly, and attentive to our needs, making the day even more enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and highly recommend Tadashi to anyone visiting Kyoto!

We booked two tours with Tadashi and had a great experience. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, organized, personable, and entertaining private guide for Kyoto or Nara, we highly recommend Tadashi. He helped make our time in Japan truly special, and we would happily tour with him again

Tadashi was wonderful, so full of wisdom and funny stories. We all loved our time with him. He made all the sites of Kyoto come to life and will be remembered for a lifetime.

I can’t say enough about this tour. Tadashi was very knowledgeable and organized. He customized the day around our interests and to do list. It always seemed like we were leaving a place just as it was getting super busy. Always ahead of the crowds. My son had two issues on the tour and Tadashi stepped in and saved the day. First my son broke his glasses and Tadashi found an optometrist and stopped to get them fixed. Second my son forgot his phone in the van and he drove back after the 8hr day to bring it back. If you want someone who is a wealth of knowledge and will make sure you will see as much as possible in a day Tadashi is your guide. He did all of this and we never felt rushed. He is the reason you hire a private guide.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Kyoto. Tadashi was incredible. He communicated with us prior to the tour regarding our interests. He picked us up at our hotel on time with a very comfortable vehicle. Tadashi was very accommodating, personable, knowledgeable, professional and had a wonderful sense of humor. I would highly recommend Tadashi.

We had such a great day! Tadashi was a fantastic guide .. we customized the tour and he did a fantastic job in getting us around everywhere and giving us great info at each place and along the way. Despite there being really heavy rain at times, we didn’t feel like we missed out on anything.. and Tadashi was as an expert in knowing how to avoid the rain as much as possible.. ie.. where to park etc. We were so pleased to have Tadashi’s clean, tidy and comfortable van to travel around in. Tadashi was very knowledgeable and he spoke excellent English. We enjoyed his company and would definitely recommend him!
