    I could not recommend Ayumi enough! Her English was nearly native-speaker level. Our tour started with her custom planning our day in the lobby and she went above and beyond at every step. For my teens, they were hanging on most of our her words as she spoke about the culture and history (which is unusual for them). She also went out of her way to plan an amazing lunch for my family who had some hard-core allergy restrictions that made things very difficult. In the end, I wish we had another day in Kyoto!

    Ayumi was our wonderful guide in Kyoto for 2 days. She made everything so easy for us, taking trains and trams and taxis to see the best of Kyoto. We saw shrines, gardens, castles and temples. Ayumi gave us so many fabulous memories to take home. Nothing was too much troule. Her english is fluent and we can highly recommend her. We were so lucky to find such a brilliant guide, the best!

    Ayumi is a great guide – knowledgeable, friendly and adaptable. We learned lots about temples, shrines and generally about past and current Japanese life. She was a big hit with our two teenage girls and found a great vegetarian restaurant for my kids, which is not so common in Japan. Her English is excellent – would definitely recommend.

    Ayumi is a great guide and lovely person! She showed us and our three nine year old boys around central Kyoto as well as the highlights of Northern Higashiyama, Nanzen-ji to Ginkaku-ji with the Silver Pavillion, walking along the path of philosophy. Highly knowledgeable about history and customs, saw beautiful gardens and learned about buddhist traditions. She was great with our kids, suggested an excellent lunch place and much more. Highly recommended!

    Our family of four, 2 adults and 2 kids ages 12 and 14 spent the afternoon with Ayumi. She took us to the Imperial Palace and Inari Shrine and along the way taught us a great deal about Kyoto, Japan, life today, history, culture, and more. She was also very flexible and adaptable to our needs and interests (which is very helpful when traveling with kids). She is a wealth of information and wonderful company. If you’re able to explore Kyoto with Ayumi you’re in for something special.

    We spent a very lovely afternoon with Ayumi in Kyoto. She showed us beautiful gardens, temples and the cherry blossoms. We only had a short time together, so she gave us some great suggestions of other things to see that only a local would know and we would have missed seeing without her recommendations. Ayumi is a great guide and we had a wonderful half-day with her.

    Great guide – knowledgeable and informative on what we saw, chose great itinerary, but also interesting on wider cultural and other areas. The time flew by, packed loads in and even had a few minutes overrun from what I’d booked. Would highly recommend.

    We had great time with Ayumi and her son. Ayumi took us to the railroad which was the best spot to see the cherry blossom. We also enjoyed the temple which is quiet, away from the crowd. Highly recommended.

    Ayumi went out of her way to show create a memorable experience for my entire family. The highlight was setting up a private master class for my 16 year old daughter with an incredible local artist. My daughter will not soon forget that experience, and the painting she created using a Japanese technique and unique materials how hangs prominently in her bedroom. Ayumi was masterful and graceful in the extreme at accommodating a diverse set of interests from my entire family. Thank you Ayumi!

    Ayumi is a wonderful guide. She took us to all the Kyoto highlights. We felt comfortable taking busses, trollies and taxis with her. She adjusted the tour to fit our specific needs.

    Ayumi was a great source of information about Kyoto. She provided us with suggestions of other places to visit. Being a Kyoto local for generations she knew the original places in Kyoto and stories about the different places. We saw places we would have not found on our own and tried some good local specialty foods. Ayumi was flexible with the tour and great with our kids!

    We had a wonderful time with Ayumi and were able to go to more quiet locations away from most of the heavily touristy areas during our time with her. She was also really helpful in providing information for locations to eat as well as sites to visit on our own. Would definitely travel with her again. Thanks Ayumi!

    DATE: Nov 5/22

    We had a wonderful half day trip exploring a lovely area of Kyoto with Ayumi-san. It is the time of year when the maples are turning colour and she took us to Nansen-Ji temple which was so beautiful and full of many different types of maple with the added bonus that it was quite quiet. We then went to Ginkaku-ji via the Philosopher’s path. Ayumi is a wonderful guide and knowledgeable about the history of Japan, I would highly recommend her.

    Ayumi is your number one support and guide in Kyoto!!! From the very first discussions on ERFS document support (no longer needed to enter Japan) to the advises and guidances, she has been instrumental to making our family trip to Japan nothing but a success. She has been above and beyond responsive and helpful, while the advises and Kyoto guidance we had was incredible. Her Kyoto (and Japan) insight on culture and history was superb. Finally, her English is flawless and needless to say a very kind person

    Thanks to Ayumi our trip to Japan was doable! She helped us get an invitation and erfs certificate needed for the Japanese embassy in Copenhagen. Upon arrival Ayumi showed us around Kyoto. The tour was one of our first experiences in Japan and as first time visitors we greatly appreciated her guiding us through Japanese does and donts. Big recommendation!
