Arashiyama rickshaw ride through the Bamboo Forest with Tai Tai is a must. - An amazing experience with an amazing driver, Tai Tai, through the Bamboo Forest, the local streets, tea at a 400-year-old Teahouse. It was the highlight of our trip to Japan. Tai Tai's fitness, knowledge of history, the local area, and his communication and care and attention to us for 2 hours + was fantastic. We would do it again.

Fantastic tour with Akihisa - Akihisa drove us tirelessly through Kyoto and was always extremely accommodating. Among other things...
# he stopped again and again in beautiful places, offered himself as a photographer (you immediately noticed Akihisa's experience, because the pictures were great) ...
# gave us valuable information about the sights, but also the local events you learned again and again ...
#alwayshad a smile on our lips and entertained us magnificently ...
All around the tour through the beautiful bamboo forest was worth every yen!!!
Many Danl again to Akihisa, who was an absolutely magnificent guide!

I'll go with Ebisuke next year!! - After a year away, Taka-chan (Takeda) and his embarrassed 6-year-old son gradually opened up and enjoyed Arashiyama with him.
They showed me where the autumn colors are still, and I enjoyed it too!
See you again next year, please!!
