Hello! My name is Nami. I live in Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan, which is rich in culture and historical sites, including 17 World Heritage sites. I am proud to be a resident of such a beautiful city that is admired by the world.
Since I was a child, I have seen many tourists from abroad visit the city with tour guides, and it naturally became my dream job. Fortunately, I now have the opportunity to work as a guide and meet new people, showing them around Kyoto. With pleasure and gratitude in mind, I will do my best to welcome you to my hometown.

Guide's Calendar
Performance
-
A group from Turkey.
During the tour, they suddenly asked me if there was anywhere they could lend kimono. It was the height of the season, but I managed to find one that was able to rent kimono for 10 people. We enjoyed walking around Fushimi Inari Shrine dressed in kimono!
I was very happy to see their satisfied smile. -
A group from Israel.
They seemed to be impressed by Ginkakuji Temple in particular, which has a wonderful garden and building emphasising quiet simplicity and subdued refinement. -
Ninja Experience
Family from UK.
They requested a ninja experience, so I took them to a dojo where we can observe iai or a Japanese Samurai martial art and experience some ninja techniques such as throwing shuriken. They really liked the unique experience in which both adults and children can participate!
