Kyoto Private Tour: 1350 Jahre Geschichte, Hotspots & versteckte Edelsteine

As a family we travel as much as possible and have been to some amazing places with some amazing guides but Kazu is certainly at the top of the list. Kazu asked us what we wanted out of our days in both Kyoto & Osaka and he delivered. Kazu was very knowledgeable about the area, provided our family with the type of sights we were interested in and explained in detail what we were seeing. If you have the opportunity, you need to allow Kazu to show you around both Kyoto & Osaka. Traveling to Japan as someone who speaks only English can have its challenges. If you are looking for someone to guide you through what to see, how to get there and make your time as efficient as possible… BOOK KAZU. While in Osaka we requested to see how the real people of Osaka lived and it was great. We caught 3 trains to get to the outskirts of Osaka in the countryside to a little town that was charming and inviting. We often post our trips to our blog and we will be sure to include Kazu.

I recommend this guide, he is very attentive and we were able to discover Kyoto and Osaka during 3 days with him, to do again without hesitation! a big thank you!

We had an amazing day with Risa! Risa took us to many sites and provided an exquisitely design experience just for us. Amazing, thank you so very much for the personalized experience. Kanpai, Salute, see you soon, from your favorite Italians.

Our tour with Kazu was the highlight of our entire Japan trip. He went above and beyond our expectations. His personality was so pleasant and not overbearing on our private family time. He was so patient, informative and thoughtful- carrying our bags for us and ensuring we had a seat even on the subway. He made a great recommendation to our favorite food request off the beaten path with no tourists! It was truly a magical day. But to top it off, when he heard we needed to figure out our train tickets for our future travel- he insisted on staying and accommodating us to make sure we got our tickets staying extra time with us after our tour time. We highly recommend booking your tour with Kazu and we will definitely be coming back and calling him.

We visited Japan with a party of 7 people including grandparents and our kids aged 11-15. Kazu set up a personalized itinerary for Osaka and Kyoto. We had specific dietary restrictions (kosher) and he was very considerate of that. He was easy to communicate through instagram messaging and responded quickly to any questions prior to our trip. Kazu is so friendly and knowledgeable and was an awesome guide! Our family really enjoyed having him and we had no stress with directions, transportation, payment, etc, He made unforseen adjustments- we requested for earlier start the day before due to potential crowds and he easily accommodated. Kazu set up an intimate omakase sushi lunch for us in Osaka and we all had such a great time and the sushi chef catered to our dietary requests thanks to Kazu. Kazu was so good with the kids as well and even added visiting the Pokemon store impromptu after finding out the kids were into Pokemon go. Kazu is very kind, polite and patient and makes sure everyone is having a good time. Kazu definitely knows his ‘gems’ throughout Osaka and Kyoto and guided us in a seamless way. We spent the day in Uji city eating delicious ramen at a michelin bib gormand restaurant which is hard to find for a big party. He showed us his many charming boutiques and atrtisan stores and even took his time to make sure I don’t get taxed for my purchases! Kazu is also a great photographer and bypassed all the bottleneck points to find less crowded picture spots. What we really appreciated was that it didn’t feel like a typical tour but a good local friend showing us their hidden gems. We had a wonderful time with Kazu and would highly recommend him!
