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!

Chika is really nice and she even got us a little present as I told her we were in Japan for our honeymoon! She is very professional and I needed a help for a specific tour about aizome, as well as I had her doing live translation during the filming. She was very prepared and got everything tailor made for us. I totally recommend her for any tour.

It's our second visit in Kyoto, and the second time we join Chika for a tour. We had a bike tour through the best places to visit in Autumn, and we enjoyed it very much. Chika was very pleasant, she has a very good English and her knowledge about Kyoto en reached us a lot.
Thanks Chika

We spent a wonderful day in Kyoto with amazing Chika. She is extremely nice and knowledgeable. She showed us so many interesting places which we would never find on our own.
Day with her felt like a day with good friend.
We highly recommend her to everyone who wants to explore beautiful Kyoto!
Thank you, Chika!

Chika was very knowledgeable and friendly. My wife and I were with our 10 year old son and Chika made sure to keep him engaged in our tour. We highly recommend Chika.
