Nov.2017 I led a private bike tour for a solo traveller from the U.S. I crafted an itinerary for her with a mixture of must-see sites and off-the-beaten-path type places.I checked her fitness level in advance and I included a temple on the hills famous for a window of enlightenment and hesitation. As Japanese maple trees were swaying and rustling, the guest was truly appreciating serene moment.

An article I wrote has been published online on a local web-magazine geared toward residents and tourists from overseas. It was published by a leading publishing company in Kyoto. The article is about Kintsugi, Heiando and Mr. Hiroki Kiyokawa.

May, 2018: I guided a group of three from Canada to Fushimi-Inari Shrine, Tofukuji Zen temple and the Gion. In the Gion we were incredibly fortunate to see a maiko making the rounds of the area, greeting clients and local people, as part of her ceremonial debut. It was a very rare moment and the perfect opportunity to learn more about Geisha culture in Kyoto.
