I am a Kyoto local and live in Fushimi area, famous for sake brewery hopping. I love to visit beautiful gardens,temples and shrines. Also enjoy watching the performing arts during each and every season. Although a high school by trade, I have spent a couple of years providing guided tours of Kyoto and tea ceremony experience to small groups.
Depending on your preferences, I provide many diffrerent types of tours such as cycling tours, hiking tours, tours of Nishiki food market, and as well as sightseeing spots. Additionally, you might also be interested in walking Gion districts, attending tradittional handicrafts workshops or wearing kimonos, and so on.
I invite you to discover the treasure of Kyoto, and look forward to being your guide!
