    This was an awesome tour with Jasmine! We walked the streets of Kyoto at night and although it rained, it was beautiful! We saw all these great streets and shrines and temples… some for relationships, some for health… Jasmine was a wealth of knowledge and tidbits of cultural insight, in perfect English! We had so much fun and 3hrs flew by as we took great pictures to remember the tour by! Thank you Jasmine!! This was the best walking tour to date in Japan!

    The night walk through Kyoto’s Geisha districts was fascinating and beautifully atmospheric. We explored several historic neighborhoods and learned about the rich history of the Geisha tradition, including the differences between Geisha and their apprentices, called Maiko. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing insightful stories and answering all our questions with ease. It was a unique and memorable way to experience a deeper side of Kyoto’s culture.
