Nov.2017 I led a private bike tour for a solo traveller from the U.S. I crafted an itinerary for her with a mixture of must-see sites and off-the-beaten-path type places.I checked her fitness level in advance and I included a temple on the hills famous for a window of enlightenment and hesitation. As Japanese maple trees were swaying and rustling, the guest was truly appreciating serene moment.

Dec 2017, I toured a group of two from Hawaii for a day and a half. On Day 1, we went to Tofukuji Zen temple, Fushimi-Inari Shrine and Fushimi area. I specifically incorporated Fushimi Area for Sake bewary into this trip since the guests like Sake, and it worked! On Day 2, I took them to Gion area and neighborhood that included a religious rites open to the public only this time of year.

Oct.2017: I ran a Gion evening tour for a group of three. Two of them has read or seen Memoir of a Geisha, I was quite happy to explain Geisha culture in depth. An art work done by a prominent artist and the story about the similarity between Maiko and Sumo wrestlers well attracted them. It was one day after the harvest moon night, the night was falling as I was explaining what we saw on Moon.
