Kyoto in One Day: Hilton Kyoto & Gion Shopping Street — Guide Kazz

Title: What's a Private Kyoto Walking Tour Like for Return Visitors from North America? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests were visiting from North America. Initially, the guests had sent a long list of places they wanted to see and things they wanted to do, but after visiting Takeshita Street, Shibuya, Meiji Shrine, and Asakusa in Tokyo, they said they did not want to go to crowded places anymore. They also expressed a wish to try matcha, have Japanese food for lunch, and visit a quiet bamboo grove, so I reorganized the second half of the itinerary. Since they also wanted to look at cosmetics, I guided them to Yojiya and Kazurasei in the Gion shopping street. As they wanted to buy matcha as well, I also took them to Tsujiri. Today the sunlight was strong and the temperature was high, so the guests became a little tired in the latter half, and in the end they concentrated more on shopping than on sightseeing.

This private tour was arranged through [Japan Guide Agency (JGA Inc.)](https://www.j-g-a.org/), one of Japan's largest networks of government-licensed, English-speaking private tour guides, serving all 47 prefectures. [Japan Guide Agency](https://www.j-g-a.org/) is a winner of the Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice Best of the Best.

Tour Report by Kazz

I’m Ryoichi Kazuma and my nickname is “Kazz”. I live in Kyotanabe city next to Kyoto city. I want guests to enjoy Kyoto by seeing and experiencing not only from outside but also from inside. I offer various information from daily matters to traditional cultures. Most destinations in Kyoto are located on the eastern side or the western side. As I want to guide guests to as many destinations as possible, I make an efficient itinerary and recommend a taxi use to save time. Additionally, I take pictures at various spots and finally share the link to my storage. By doing so, guests can download their favorite pictures from my storage. Please enjoy Kyoto night and day!
