The Kansai region (関西地方, Kansai-chihō) or the Kinki region (近畿地方, Kinki-chihō) lies in the southern-central region of Japan's main island Honshū. The region includes the prefectures of Mie, Nara, Wakayama, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyōgo and Shiga, sometimes Fukui, Tokushima and Tottori. While the use of the terms "Kansai" and "Kinki" have changed over history, in most modern contexts the use of the two terms is interchangeable. The urban region of Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto (Keihanshin region) is the second-most populated in Japan after the Greater Tokyo Area.

Having a guide truly made our Kyoto experience amazing! Beyond what I expected. Having a knowledgeable guide took the stress off me and allowed me to really take in every part of the experience!

This was a tremendously fun activity for the whole family! The instructors were very kind and true experts in the art of ninjas. From introducing hand signals at the beginning to demonstrating stealth and combat techniques, this was a highly entertaining and also educational experience. The two hours simply flew by. There were so many different activities that every moment was an adventure of sorts, but my children particularly enjoyed the shuriken throwing and blow darts. From a parent's perspective, it was great being able to trust the teachers, who are really professionals, to create a challenging yet safe lesson. There is also a store that sells some great mementos for the kids, as well as genuine ninja artifacts for adults who want a piece of history. Lastly, the lessons are very reasonably priced and a very good value. I cannot recommend Ninja Dojo highly enough -- my kids are now ninjas for life and this is hands down the most memorable part of our Kyoto vacation!

We booked the bike tour to see Kyoto from a different perspective and it was totally worth it! Jonathan is a great guide, he informed us beforehand and made sure we came prepared. During the tour he told us a lot about Kyoto and some historical backgrounds as well. Besides, he gave us some practical tips and recommendations to spend our time in Kyoto. He didn't hurry and took all the time we needed to stop at certain places to give more information or to take some photos. Would definitely recommend him to guide you through Kyoto if you have the chance!

Had a pleasant tour of older Tokyo near Nezu Shrine. Our guide (Hiroyuki-san) spoke good English and shared much of the history related to sights we visited. He also took us to areas that local Japanese people visited and shopped frequently. Very nice tour - will do again.

Our service is unique in that it is always “tourist-friendly.” The price is clear(USD 200 or JPY 22,000). We do not close bookings until 3 PM on the show day and not have a minimum number of participants. You can decide today to join the dinner without any possibility of cancellation. Also, the MC is a Kyoto-city official guide and our sophisticated program will never get you bored. This makes this dinner experience immersable.

You will have a memorable night with us!

Tasting menu was great and composed of local produce beautifully presented. We were fascinated by the Maiko to Geiko journey, and thoroughly entertained by this ancient Japanese artistry. There was professional interpreter and Q&A which made a great interactive & entertaining night. Oh, the Geiko drinking game was simple but so much fun.
