I am a Kyoto local and live in Fushimi area, famous for its sake breweries. I love to visit beautiful gardens, local temples and shrines. Also enjoy watching the performing arts and traditional events during each and every season. Although a high school by trade, I have spent several years providing guided tours of Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Koyasan.
Depending on your preferences, I provide many different types of tours such as cycling tours, hiking tours, food tours, and as well as sightseeing spots. Additionally, you might also be interested in walking Gion districts, attending traditional handicraft workshops or the tea ceremony, and so on. I invite you to discover the treasure of Kyoto.
My tour courses are extremely flexible. I can take you the local spots that travel sites don't tell much, such as back streets, and shops which is popular among locals.
Please let me know if you have any requests. I look forward to being your guide!
