A truly memorable time in Japan with Mico - My family spent 2 days with Mico during our recent trip to Japan- one in Kyoto and one in Osaka and it was a 5 star experience all the way. Mico spent time ahead of our trip to get to know our family and find out what our interests were, so that he could tailor two days of itinerary for us. We spent 8 hours together in Kyoto on an incredible walking tour that took in all the sites we wanted, plus some special surprises from Mico. We sampled the most delicious food in the Nishiki food market including tempura crab, wagyu, mochi, fish cakes and matcha sweets, along with saki. Throughout the day we stopped at quaint coffee shops, enjoyed temples and shrines, samurai shops, museums, and we finished the day with an epic walk up to Fushimi Inari for sunset. Nothing felt rushed and Mico shared the history of each attraction and experience. In Osaka, we jumped on electric bikes and with Mico leading us, we cycled to the Osaka castle, to museums and beautiful shrines and gardens where there was not another tourist. We ate more incredible foot at the market including yakitori, okonomiyaki, oysters and so much more. We can't recommend Mico enough. He was a well-informed, educational guide, who is also a lot of fun, with so much love and enthusiasm for Japan. He was open and generous with his time, recommending places for us to shop throughout the rest of our trip. Mico made our trip to Japan truly memorable, and for that we thank him.

Mico Made Japan Great Again - If you’re looking for the best private tour guide in Kyoto or Osaka, we highly recommend Mico Yamamoto from Yamamoto Travel! We spent a few days exploring both cities with Mico, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. He took us to all the must-see spots — famous temples, the 1000 Torii Gates, local food and flea markets — but also showed us hidden gems we never would’ve found on our own. Think peaceful backstreet shrines, off-the-radar markets, and authentic local neighborhoods that gave us a real taste of Japanese culture. Mico’s super knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what he does. He shared tons of cool stories, cultural insights, and history in a way that was easy to follow and super engaging. It really helped us connect with the places we were seeing, rather than just snapping photos and moving on. He’s also just a great person to spend time with — friendly, professional, and speaks perfect English, which made everything smooth and stress-free. If you want a fun, authentic, and insightful tour experience in Kyoto or Osaka, reach out to Mico Yamamoto. Can’t recommend him enough! Thanks again, Mico — you made our Japan trip unforgettable!
