She was AMAZING. Very knowledgeable, extremely helpful, and simply the best Kyoto guide you could ask for. She was willing to help plan the whole day and was very flexible when we had to make adjustments on the day. She suggested an alternative place to go as we were behind schedule on the day, and that place was actually better than the place we had originally planned to go to. I personally was a coordinator and had been to Kyoto multiple times before, but this trip was by far the most enlightening one. The way she tells the history and the story behind each place is very gripping, and she explains things in a way that makes the historical figures and incidents relatable to us. I would definitely ask her to help us with trip planning again in the future.

I asked her to be a sightseeing guide for my company's executives at a conference in Kyoto, where representatives from Asian countries were gathering. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Kyoto and explained it clearly in fluent English.　She is a very reliable and trustworthy tour guide and I would definitely ask her again the next time I have the chance.

My family hired Masayo-san for a 1 day tour of Kinkaku-ji, Ryoan-ji, and Arashiyama. Masayo-san was an excellent host and was very knowledgable. She knew exactly where to go to and how to fill walking or other travel time with shortcuts through other shrines or amazing view spots. I would highly recommend Masayo-san to any of my family or friends for future tours.

Masayo was the most gracious tour guide I’ve ever had. She dove deeper than the highlights, gave great recommendations and even showed us to a great spot for lunch.

I cannot recommend her high enough.
