My experience with Leny and the Kimkim team was wonderful. Leny found excellent hotels for us to stay in with sights very close by-- for example, we were in walking distance of Zojoji Temple in Tokyo, and Nijo Castle, Nishiki Market, and the Gion district in Kyoto). She reserved all the trains we needed and got us tickets so all we had to do was walk onto the train. She booked the experiences we were hoping for (kabuki, an onsen that was spectacular, the Studio Ghibli theme park) and several walking tours including one of the Arashiyama area with Hiro that was particularly good. She left lots of flexibility for us to choose our own activities each day,. She was present and helpful, along with Noemie and the rest of the team, before and during the whole trip. We're so grateful for what turned out to be the trip of a lifetime. Highly recommend.
