We had an amazing tour with Hero and would highly recommend him. As a UK travel agent, I'm always looking for experiences that I can confidently recommend to my clients and this is definitely one of them. Hero was knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about Kyoto. He took us to two fantastic local restaurants that we would never have found on our own, giving us a real taste of authentic Kyoto. Afterward, we enjoyed a fascinating walking tour of Gion, where Hero shared the history and culture of the area, making it come alive. This was one of the highlights of our time in Kyoto. If you're looking for an authentic experience with a brilliant local guide, don't hesitate to book with Hero. I can't wait to recommend this tour to my future clients! PS. here's a good photographer too.

Hiro gave us a fabulous food experience in downtown Kyoto and informative walking tour through the Gion district. The restaurants he selected for us were perfect, and met our challenging food restrictions :) He was also a great photographer and knew the perfect locations to take the perfect photo! Thank You, Hiro! You made our time in Kyoto unforgettable! Sincerely, Brian & Kristin

We enjoyed our Kyoto food tour with Hiro. In addition to delicious food, Hiro’s local knowledge of Kyoto area, culture, and traditions made our encounter very enriching. But the most memorable experiences were the conversations over dinner. Looking forward to future visits and tours of Kyoto.

Hiroshi is a fantastic tour guide. He had a great sense of humour. We had a wonderful meal and he was very open to ordering a dish that we wanted to try out. He took several group pictures at popular tourist sites. It was a treat to have so many pictures of our tour. It was nice to have someone who is local who had detailed knowledge of Kyoto. He was very informative and we learned a lot about the Japanese culture. I would recommend Hiroshi to everyone.

​5+ STARS!!!!! - This was an authentic local experience that went far beyond just the food. From the very first second, our fantastic guide, Hiro, made us feel like old friends with his welcoming and confident nature. ​Beyond the incredible flavors we tasted, we were treated to a wealth of historical and cultural insights that made the evening truly meaningful. If you want to elevate an already great adventure, I highly recommend booking a private tour; it provides a deeper sense of presence and a more intimate connection to the experience. What a great memory. Look for Hiro if you can—you’ll start the tour with a guide and leave with a friend! Muchas gracias, Hiro!- Hasta pronto :))

Our guide Tak was great! We had so much fun walking around Kyoto and trying the different kinds of food. At the end of the tour, we asked him to direct us to a particular shop we were looking for. Not only did he take us there, he also stayed after to make sure we did not have issues with communication! Thanks for your help Tak!

Hiro went above and beyond to turn our Kyoto food tour into a one of a kind evening filled with great conversation, beautiful sites, incredible history, and unique dishes that we wouldn’t have found on our own. He took many pictures for us and even sent us several recommendations for our upcoming visits to Osaka and Okinawa. We highly recommend an evening with Hiro on your next visit to Kyoto!

Hiro made a good introduction on what we understood are some of the common foods people eat in izakayas. We tried multiple dishes, ranging from gyozas, soups, omlette with soup and rice, yakitori (charcoal grilled chicken skewers - very delicious), lightly pickled cucumbers and other dishes i can't recall their name :). Most of them were to our liking. We also had some cool drinks (e.g. a yuzu based cocktail which was light and great) as we turned down beer as we are not fans of it. After the tour, Hiro also guided us through the Gion district, Yasaka shrine + pagoda, explaining us some very interesting historical characteristics of the area, japanese culture and recommended other areas to visit. We really appreciated the effort and the fact that he extended the tour to do this kind of thing. It complemented the whole experience and took things to the next level. So if it's your first time in Kyoto and you want to learn what to eat, where to eat and where to go, Hiro's your guy! Very satisfied with his tour!

One of our best nights in Japan. Hiro is a great person, expert guide and took us places we wouldn’t have gone to on our own. Food choices were so tasty and after dinner walk through Gion was amazing and topped off a great night
