This tour is the one and only for you.

Kyoto was an ancient capital of Japan for over 1200 years. Embedded in centuries of history and culture, it offers too much to see in one visit. Here the ancient world is integrated with the modern.

The phenomenal concentration of history and legend coexists with an equally phenomenal concentration of people busily going about their everyday life.

Please tell me your interest, and I will make an itinerary exclusively for you!

Only way to experience Kyoto!!

Makoon exceeded all expectations as our Kyoto tour guide. His meticulously crafted itinerary elevated our experience, providing not just a tour but an immersive learning journey. Makoon's attention to historical detail showcased his authenticity and dedication to ensuring the best possible experience in Kyoto. The culinary adventure with him offered a genuine taste of Japanese culture, highlighting Kyoto specialties. Saying goodbye was bittersweet, as Makoon is not just a guide but a forever friend. Highly recommend him for an unforgettable Kyoto experience. Okini for the cherished memories! We will be back soon

Excellent guided day in Kyoto with Masaki aka Makoon !

Makoon is a wonderful guide of Kyoto with deep knowledge of the history and popular culture. We enjoyed our time with him very much. Especially the visit to the zen temple and Ishari shrine!

Masaki M.

I can't appreciate enough for your generous review. It was a pleasure to welcome guests from my second home! I'm glad we could talk about a wide variety of things in different places. That sun light in the zen temple was a magic. Sincerely looking forward to seeing you again, maybe in Canada next time!

A great experience

What an amazing experience. Makoon filled our short time in Kyoto with so much great information and sights and experiences. We would have missed out on so much without him being our guide. Worth every penny and more!
