The Guide - Five Stars in Kyoto

Satake is a recent hire in the Kyoto Sightseeing Section of a travel agency. Tired of busywork, he longs for the challenge of leading a tour, but is overwhelmed when his boss foists upon him a VIP tourist who's seemingly impossible to please.

Satake goes running to Kyoka and the other Central Management Center members for help when a client comes to Kyoto with his wife and daughter, only to find out that his "mistress" has also shown up.

Unbeknownst to her husband, a housewife in an unhappy marriage goes on a "breakup tour" in Kyoto hosted by a famous fortune teller and conducted by Satake. But the husband catches wind of his wife's plan to break up their marriage through supernatural means and tries to stop her, since he's still deeply in love with his wife. Kyoka agrees to help him by infiltrating the tour herself so she can find out the wife's side of it.

Kyoka's favorite actor comes to Kyoto, but his innocent image is nothing like the selfish jerk who verbally abuses Kyoka even as he relies on her services for a fan-and-paparazzi-free tour. And can Kyoka figure out his obsession with Kyoto's famous "maiko".

When Kawabata's ex-wife comes to Kyoto with her much-younger boyfriend, Kawabata wants to put the kibosh on their relationship before a marriage proposal is made, so he enlists everyone's help to concoct a tour designed to split them up. Will Kawabata then swoop in and reclaim his ex or will the longstanding lies of both men ruin their chances at happiness?

Satake is in trouble with the boss again when the spouse-hunting tour he's in charge of is a romantic bust thanks to the mood-killing antics of one of the participants. Unfortunately, the culprit is a repeat customer too, so Satake goes to Kyoka for help. Eventually, they realize that their troublemaking client isn't what he appears to be... and he's not alone!
