Hi! My name is Alexi / Tsubasa.
I was born and raised in Kyoto.
I am an official and qualified tour guide of Kyoto city.

It’s my honor and privilege to introduce Japanese culture to our guests from overseas.
Every time I travel by myself, I am always curious about local people’s daily life.
The tour I propose will introduce you to Japan’s unique lifestyle and culture and food.

Discover Kyoto with me and you’ll fall in love with this beautiful and magical city.
Looking forward to seeing you!

I recently visited Kyoto and had Alexi as a my tour guide around the city. She is very knowledgeable and fun at the same time. We have seen many temples, had Udon noodles for lunch and matcha ice creams for dessert, walk through the old market and did some shopping. She found out ahead of time what the points of my interest are and did plan the trip accordingly, including bus transfer around the city. I would highly reccomend her and I am hoping to see her again when I come back to visit Kyoto :)

I have to thank Alexi Tsubasa for her priceless help that she provided to make my trip to Kyoto a fantastic and memorable experience. She was more like a local friend than a guide with great knowledge of Kyoto and not only. Great communication skills and very helpful.

Last june, I have visited with Alexi a bamboo factory in Kyoto. It was very interesting to meet this young crafftsman who manufacture beautifull suitcases and mallets in a tiny workshop with only bamboos and a few iron tool. He is representative of the very old crafstman tradition in Kyoto, even if his work is modern and unique. Without a guide, it's impossible to live such an experience and I hope Alexi will develop her cfraftmen's tours in Kyoto. And thanks to her to find for me in Kyoto a shop selling old japanese movies posters. I have made 7 travels in Japan looking for such a shop without find it!!!!
Merci beaucoup Tsubasa pour ta gentillesse et tes talents de guide culturel. Et à bientôt.
