Guide #64766
Hello and welcome to Kyoto! I am a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. You can call me MIYA. I got my certification in 2021 and have been working as a professional guide since January 2023, primarily in Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, and Koyasan. I find Japanese culture to be truly distinctive. And I love Kyoto, which still embodies so much of that unique culture and present to travelers. There are so many precious moments working as a guide. When guests see something and say “Wow!” when they enjoy Kyoto and discover commonalities with their own culture.etc.. My personal interests include eating, drinking, art, movies, and travel. I will try to find restaurants that match your preferences. Here, I would like to start by offering tours that I have already guided visitors many times and I found them popular. For example: Backroad Arashiyama to the famous bamboo grove Kyoto Art Tour Garden Tour Tour of Nishijin, the Heart of Kimono Craftsmanship Nara one Day Tour etc.. And then Future tours I hope to offer here include some lesser-known spots such as: Gion Festival Tour (through July) Osaka Modern Architecture Tour Kyoto Film Tour: Once Called Japan's Hollywood Shiga Prefecture Water City Tour And many more Looking forward to seeing you!Thanks. I hold the following qualifications: Art Certification Kyoto Certification History Certification Authorized Tour Conductor National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter

July 2026Dear Mr Jeff Thank you for coming to Kyoto and choosing the Gion Festival. It was great to meet your family. Gion festival is my life’s work, so I’d be grateful if any of your friends plan to visit it and you let them know about my page.
