An Unforgettable day in Kyoto - Hiring Kosuke for our full day tour of Kyoto was the best decision we made. We hired him based on his excellent reviews and we were not disappointed. We requested a pick up and drop off at our hotel in Osaka. His van was spacious and clean. He was very flexible to whatever we wanted for the day and added in a stop at a zen garden because we had some extra time. We were travelling with our kids and he was wonderful with them. You can sense his passion and love for his hometown and he explained historical details and facts about the places he showed us, in a way that kept our children interested. He also took the most beautiful family photos that we will treasure for many years to come. Please don't hesitate to hire Kosuke as your guide in Kyoto.

The best day of our Japan trip so far - If you’re looking for a reliable tour guide in Kyoto/nara/osaka, Kosuke Kyoto is your guy! We have had the best day. Kosuke is local to Kyoto so knows it like the back of his hand. Took us to all the major sights we wanted to, stress free, and knew the perfect spots for photos and recommended good local snacks, souveniers and also places for lunch/dinner! - his ramen recommendation for back in our hotel off pontocho street was amazing! Kosuke had phone chargers in the car ready, umbrellas and water so was fully equipped for us tourists. If we ever come back we’ll be in touch again for tours of other areas as we wished we’d used him for Nara. Highly recommend. Such a pleasant guy and very knowledgable guide! business card in images Thank you Kosuke we had one of the best days in our Japan trip today! Lauren and Mike (today was “Boss”)

Our best day in Japan with Kosuke! - I 1000% recommend booking a tour with KSK Tour. Kosuke is an amazing tour guide of Kyoto! We booked him for a full 7 hour tour and were able to customize the itinerary. Kosuke also recommend some quieter sights which we also enjoyed. Our tired legs were so happy to have Kosuke drive us around for the day. He was very accommodating of my requests for the day. Kosuke knows so much about Kyoto and the sights we visited and he used his perfect English to explain a lot of the history about the sights. We were able to cover so much in our day with Kosuke. We did the Sagano romantic train, Arashiyama bamboo forest, kimono forest, Togetsukyo bridge, Otagi Nenbutsuji temple, a quick side trip to a small village with very scenic views close to Otagi temple, lunch at Gontaro, Kinkakuji golden temple, and finished the day at a very serene and quiet temple called Komyoin temple. The best part was all of the family pictures Kosuke took of us at the various sights. He has very good photography skills and suggested many great photo opportunities. We even have pictures at the bamboo forest with nobody else in the background! We can't wait to go back to Japan and book another tour with Kosuke!

Excellent with lots of knowledge! - My husband and I had a great tour with Kosuke! He was very flexible (we asked to start the tour 1 hour earlier to avoid the crowd; and he immediately said yes). He’s very keen to share all his knowledge about the city and even tried to take us to a lunch place that is mostly known by locals. And he takes very good photos for us too!! We would highly recommend him!

Outstanding - Kosuke is an outstanding tour guide. He is from Kyoto and takes pride in showing you around his city and sharing his local knowledge. Ko picks up and drops off from hotel and will customise tour for you to suit your interests. He was patient and playful with the kids. Recommend booking in advance.

Fun Day with Kosuke - We had an amazing day with Kosuke as our guide! He was incredibly prompt and communicated with us throughout the day, ensuring everything went smoothly. Kosuke had fantastic recommendations and was very flexible, adjusting our itinerary to fit exactly what we wanted to do. I accidentally left my goshuin book in the car at one stop, and he immediately ran back to retrieve it, saving the day! His deep historical knowledge of each site we visited made the experience even more enriching, and he was a lot of fun to spend the day with. Highly recommend Kosuke – we'll definitely be booking him again on our next trip!
