Takeshi was an excellent host who made my daughter and I feel so welcome while showing us many local spots in Kyoto. We made lots of new friends and shared stories over a variety of different drinks! Takeshi is super friendly and helped with our Japanese pronunciations. My daughter was a quick learner and enjoyed learning some useful phrases. We even me other locals who were able to practice their English with us, talking about common subjects like anime and movies. Would highly recommend you have Takeshi show you around his town.

THANK YOU TAKESHI! My wife and I visited Japan for our honeymoon and book the tour with Takeshi for our first night in Kyoto.
Despite us being a little late, and my wife not feeling well, Takeshi gave us a warm welcome to the city by taking us to some bars we probably would not have experienced without his advice. Despite one of the bars being temporarily closed due to illness, Takeshi was quick to redirect our adventure and give us a fantastic whisky tasting at another local bar.
Outside of the tour, Takeshi continued to provide recommendations for the rest of our trip, making us feel like we had made a great friend that wanted the best for us and our honeymoon.
We can’t thank Takeshi enough, this tour really elevated our experience in Japan!

Wonderful experience with Takeshi! We enjoyed a sake store that doubles as a bar/tasting area- the owner’s son speaks excellent English and we learned tons about sake. We also ate a nice dinner at a local spot and wrapped up at a cool whiskey bar, sampling some Japanese whiskey. Simple tour concept, but a nice way to spend an evening, learn about Japanese nightlife and drinking culture, and make a friend, thanks Takeshi!

We had a blast on our tour with Takeshi! He took us to several local hidden spots that would have been hard to find without him! He also did a great job of providing a fun atmosphere as well as good history on many things in Japan. I would definitely come back and do it again 😊

Awesome evening experience! Takeshi took my friend and I to a nearby small temple, a sake tasting room, an authentic tempura restaurant, and finally a sake standing bar. It was very nice to have a relaxing evening with a local after spending the day in tourist crowds. We got to try some amazing food and drink spots that I would have never walked into without a local guide. This was our favorite experience in Kyoto! Takeshi was so kind and a great guide. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a local experience without the big crowds.

My husband and I spent an unforgettable night going to bar hopping with Takeshi in Kyoto, one of the highlights of our trip! Not only was he fun and cool to hang out with, he gave us access to places only a local could. This is a no brainer for an authentic night out.

Takeshi is awesome!! Our family visited Kyoto from New York / Singapore and wanted to eat and drink where the locals go. Takeshi did not disappoint and we had an awesome night drinking great sake and eating at izakaya. The locations we went to don’t show up well for tourists on search engines, so we really appreciated this tour and getting to know more about Takeshi.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great time!
