“kawai was such a great tour guide! we were running late due to traffic, but he was so gracious. he seemed genuinely curious about our trip, took great photos, and gave even better recommendations for local food and the best places to buy matcha! the man wears many hats and we were lucky to have him as a tour guide :) if I could've, I'd have booked a longer one! it was such an enjoyable way to explore the neighborhood. wishing kawai the best of luck this coming March! :)”
“The whole experience from start to finish was incredible. Aki was amazing, still don’t know how he managed to pull us along and hold a full conversation the entire time. Would highly recommend, we caught the bus out from Kyoto city, the area around the spot was amazing too, wish we had allowed more time here.”
“Koki was a fabulous guide, great communicator, friendly, chatty, informative, and fun— and a brilliant photographer! The rickshaw was comfortable, and the blankets kept us snug and warm. We loved our experience and will highly recommend your service and Koki to any of our friends coming to Kyoto!”

The guide was very knowledgeable and super friendly. He made it a lovely experience for my wife and I. We went in the morning on New Years day. It was a great experience!
Had a great time. The tour was fantastic and they dropped back in town at the end of the tour.
The Rickshaw tour was a fantastic way to explore Kyoto. Our guides were so friendly and knowledgeable. They made us feel some comfortable, it was very cold and snowing at the time but we couldn’t have been warmer. A must do in Kyoto
