This was an amazing experience. Hiroshi and I communicated several times via Whatsapp after I booked the experience to confirm various details and plan something special for my husband's birthday. The entire night far exceeded my expectations. The wagyu dinner was fabulous. We were in a private room at a takiniku restaurant near the meeting point. We had a variety of beef cuts, rice, and vegetables, and Hiroshi expertly prepared everything on the grill right in front of us while telling us about the different cuts and how Japanese beef is categorized. As a surprise for my husband, we even bought a beautiful cholocate dessert to bring out at the end of the meal. After dinner, Hiroshi took us on a walking tour of Gion and took dozens of photos of us at the temples and shrines and other photogenic spots around the neighborhood. He also told us about the history of Gion and it's specific customs. The tour went well beyond the brief tour mentioned in the description and was one of the highlights of our visit to Kyoto. Hiroshi is a fantastic tour guide, an engaging host, and did an amazing job of making my husband's birthday extra special.

This was an awesome hangout with Hiro! My man knows a lot about the history. Walking through Gion District in the evening was such a cool experience. The architecture was soooo beautiful. This place requires a full day of discovery! Hiro was nice enough to bring his professional camera! Took very good pictures of us. Hiro went out of his way beyond just being a 'tour guide'. Hope to hook up with Hiro again on our next visit!

I had the pleasure of joining the Kyoto Kimono Experience, which included a beautiful kimono rental, a limousine ride, and an exquisite kaiseki meal. The entire experience was fantastic, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto. The kimono shop, located near Kyoto Station, offered a great variety. With help from the friendly staff, I chose a vibrant yellow kimono, while my friend opted for a striking black one. They provided accessories, geta sandals, and ensured my kimono was comfortably tied. I felt stunning and ready for the day! Our driver and guide were welcoming, helping us pose with props like a katana and umbrella. The drive to the restaurant was about 25 minutes, relaxed, and full of photo opportunities. At the restaurant, we were warmly greeted and led to a beautiful Japanese-style room. The kaiseki meal was delicious, featuring some of the best sushi I’ve tasted. Portions were light, as they accompany a tea ceremony, and the chef’s greeting added a special touch. Overall, the Kyoto Kimono Experience, Kaiseki Dining & Limousine Ride was truly memorable. The friendly staff, lovely kimonos, and incredible food made it an unforgettable day. This is a luxurious and immersive way to enjoy Japanese culture!

The tour was a wonderful experience. From start to finish, every detail was taken care of, and the immersion into Japanese culture was amazingly well executed. Whether at the Kimono house or the Traditional restaurant, the staff made us feel like special guests, making the experience completely worthwhile. I really enjoyed myself and highly recommend the tour.

Hiro was a great guide and besides taking us to some wonderful food places, also gave us a quick and thorough trip through Gion. Great communication and worth the time. Certainly would have him take us to other places you'd miss as a tourist.
