TAKE MY GUESTS’ WORD FOR IT
Our trip was supposed to end with Takuya dropping us off at our restaurant, but we invited him to join us and he graciously did. Having him there made a great deal of difference as he order off of the Japanese menu and not the “Tourist English” menu.
My parents and I were so incredibly fortunate to discover Takuya-san here on TripAdvisor. We spent four wonderful days with him in Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka last year where he served as our guide, companion, and — unexpectedly — photographer!
We had a wonderful day visiting Shoguns palace, blossom covered canal area, shrines,temple, authentic lunch, Japanese tea garden and Geisha area. Takuya gave us an insight into real Japan. It was the highlight of our 18 days in Japan.
If you are traveling to Japan and are looking for a local that is fluent in English and that will be able to give you an inside look to amazing food, culture, history plus anything else you may want to know about the country, look no further. Takuya is the one for you.

The cherry blossoms are at full bloom in Toji Trmple. But in my opinion, I prefer autumn cherry blossoms in the evening lighten up. #kyoto #japan #toji #tojitemple #cherryblossom #cherryblossoms #lightenup #privatetourconcierge #privatetourjapan #japanprivatetour #tour_guide_takuya #tourjapan #japantour #japantravel #traveljapan @tour_guide_takuya
