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 lead a tour for a family of 4 form Australia for a day and a half. On Day 1, we covered the must-see sites in Kyoto. On Day 2, I incorporated off-beaten-path upon the guests' request, which included a small temple that had a well that was believed to be connected to the hell in the ancient time. All of them enjoyed backstreets with me that perhaps otherwise wouldn't have been accessed.

Oct.2017 : Gion evening tour for a solo traveller from New Orleans. As I was explaining "Geisha" dancing, I found out she had a background in Jazz dance and had strong interest in both traditional and experimental Japanese dance. It was enjoyable to talk about a choreographer both of us admired. She missed out Gion a year ago, I was happy to fill her missing piece of her trip to Japan.
