Keiko-san guided me around Kiyomizu Temple so passionately. She not only explained the background history of the temple in details but also showed many nice spots to take a picture.
Her English is very clear and wonderful.

Thank you very much for your nice tour. Under many difficult situations, we could see the real scenery at the temple. Live tour was worth joining. Keiko's cheerful way of proceeding the tour was wonderful.

My friends and I joined a live tour around Kiyomizu Temple. Although the difficult situation in awful heat and coincidental obstruction by a mean man on the temple ground, our guide, Keiko walked well and showed us many wonderful views. Well done, Keiko! I enjoyed the tour very much. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there were much fewer tourists, so that the scenery of the temple was different from the usual one. It was a very valuable experience. Thank you so much, Keiko! You are a superb and charming guide!

I feel as if I were actually there in Kyoto. Thank you very much again . I 'll surely go to Kiyoto when the pandemic is over.
