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.

Nov.2017: I took a couple from Switzerland to Zen meditation and tea ceremony experience and Gion area. During the meditation session, I helped the guests communicate with a monk. The husband mentioned a flow of movements about golf-swing, which got the monk well into the topic and created philosophical conversation. Said the monk, " You can do a meditation anytime anywhere".

Oct. 2017: I led a group of eight visitors from Mexico to Nijo Castle, Kinkakuji Temple and Nishiki Market. The guests were especially interested in historical contexts, the story I delivered extended to Edo Castle and Shogun's daily life, which drew a lot of attentions from the guests. Although It was drizzling on and off, everyone was patient and genuinely enjoying their Kyoto leg.
