March, 2018, I guided an American couple in Kyoto. I crafted their itineraries incorporating my recommendations, visited Murin-an garden for a few peaceful moments in the morning and Honmanji for the weeping cherry tree which was in bloom, both of them were quite happy about the places we covered today. The husband is a fan of sake, so I made sure he purchased some Kyoto sake at Nishiki Market.

Dec. 2017, I got an enquiry through this website from a group of three Italians. I crafted their own itinerary for a half-day bike tour. The guests hopped on a bike and explored backstreets of the Northern Kyoto City. In a small Zen temple called Zuiho-in was the highlight that a friendly abbot appeared and taught us how to do seated meditation. All of us tried to clear thoughts for 5 minute.

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.
