Superb Evening in Kyoto! - A great evening spent with Martin a very knowledgeable, processional, personable guide. It was awesome to see many of Kyoto’s Shrine’s and Temples at night! Then we had the opportunity to enjoy traditional Japanese dishes and drink at two restaurants. At the end of the night we had a real appreciation for the culture and atmosphere of Kyoto at night. Highly recommend!
