Katsura Imperial Villa is too beautiful to express! In the early Edo period, Prince Toshihito, who excelled in both literature and the martial art from childhood, built the Villa. That is both tasteful and simple. We need to apply for the Imperial Household Agency to get in. I will apply for you by postcard. It takes an hour to see the villa by the special guide of the villa. The fee is free.

Toshi provided us with so much knowledge and insight during our 1/2 day tour of Kyoto. Assisted us with taking public transport and access to some of the tourist spots. So worth the experience and thank you so much for your assistance. Highly recommended
Dear Julie, Thank you for having me as your guide. I am happy you and your lovely family enjoyed my hometown. I hope you will come back again in spring to see different aspect of Kyoto. Thank you. Toshiyo
Toshiyo met us at our hotel and first we saw Sanjusangendo Hall with the visually stunning 1,001 wooden statues of the thousand-handed Kannon. She explained everything quite well and we enjoyed our time there. We then had a nice sushi lunch while she showed us around Nishiki Market including the yuba store where we sampled, purchased and the owner even gifted us yuba. Wonderful day and Toshiyo kindly gave us the lay of the land in Kyoto. Thank you!
Hi Michelle Thank you very much for having me as your guide and writing me the kind review. I appreciate it. I am really glad that you enjoyed Yuba. Please come back again. Thank you. Toshiyo
We spent 2 days with Toshiyo in Kyoto. Day 1 we went to the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, Tenryuji Temple, Arashiyama Monkey Park Iwatayama and Fushimi Inari Shrine. Day 2 we went Nijo Castle, Yasaka Pagoda and Kiyomizudera Temple. Toshiyo was very sweet and patient with our large group of 8 and both days she took us to delicious restaurants for lunch. Thank you, Toshiyo!
We were late upon arrival to Kyoto due to train issues but Ms. Toshiyo was patient. We covered a pretty good area for the day. This is a private tour, so it can be adjusted to your liking, what places you wanted to see. I think though 1 day tour is not enough for Kyoto as this place has so many beautiful spots (which are far from each other). But thank you Ms. Toshiyo for a wonderful day.
Thank you very much for having me as your guide and writing me the wonderful review. I hope you enjoyed Kyoto very much. Please come again and stay overnight in Kyoto next time. Regards. Toshiyo
