Kyoto Local Guide tour (bonus with photo)
Highlight of My Trip to Japan
Hiring Kei was the best decision I made while planning my trip to Japan and by far the best money I spent while on this trip. He is such a thoughtful and intentional photographer and tour guide. He is truly an artist. The photographs that he captured are a perfect balance of the beautiful Kyoto scenery and myself. His camera equipment is next level, top tier professional gear. I didn’t know that photographs could contain so much depth and detail. You are truly getting a professional photographer and knowledgeable tour guide all in one. I booked him to show me around Kyoto, but he will do tours in Osaka, Kobe, Tokyo, Mt. Fuji and more if you ask him. I wish he had been my tour guide for my whole trip! When I come back, I will definitely rebook Kei to show me around more parts of Japan. He is fluent in English and knows the best local places and photography spots.

Kyoto: Tea Ceremony in a 150-Year-Old Silk Merchant's Home
Tea Ceremony & Machiya Tour
The Tea Ceremony was superb ! Asano and Yuki were the perfect hosts. I really wanted an authentic experience, and this was exactly what I got from this time. Asano is a Tea Master so therefore, who better to watch perform this elegant ceremony! Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this very special event. Kim
