Perfectly designed for travelers with packed schedule and limited time in Kyoto. We are offering you not just sightseeing, visiting the tourist spot, and know the history of the spot, but also a deeper understanding about Japan, Japanese and their culture, their life philosophy and their minds. After the tour, you'll understand 'why it is very hard to find trash cans', or 'why Japan roads are so quiet' and the philosophy behind it. Even the smallest thing can be understandable if you join us.
