Nov. 2017, I led a private half-day walking tour for three women from the U.K. The guests very much enjoyed a dry landscape garden called "Nothingness". All of them were quite keen on Japanese culture and asked a lot of questions, which I was happy to answer. Although one of our destinations was packed with people, everyone was very patient.

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.

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.
