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!

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.

Chikako was very helpful in giving lots of advice and feedback on our itinerary before our arrival, even though it was not part of her work directly. She actually organised tickets for the Ikenobo exhibition and dropped them by our hotel and they were handed over to us when we checked-in. This was a completely unexpected surprise and most kind of her. We had a great time with her, her interpretation was very helpful and she was kind and open and helpful. We greatly recommend her and wish her all the best.

I met Chika through referral. Chika's tour service went above my expectation in every way. A few weeks before the tour, she took initiative and emailed me with various creative tour plans for me based on my interest and trip budget. That put me at ease about upcoming tour. She is caring, knowledgeable with the city, and speak fluent English. We spent the entire day like friends who already know each other. What a treat! Please feel free to contact me if you want to find out more about my touring experience with Chika. (YAN1.LU@gmail.com)
