Hi I'm Kenji I have a national government license of tour guide interpreter in English. I was born and raised in Kyoto, an old capital of Japan over one thousand years. So I'm very familiar with many sightseeing spots and attractions of the city Kyoto is a fascinating and picturesque city drawing lots of foreign tourists every year I can show you around not only popular historical sites and relics but also its various attractions such us Zen silent meditation, traditional sweets cooking, kimono-clad walking and so on. Osaka and Nara are very popular tourist destinations among foreign travellers in my tour options. I can also provide tailored tours fitting to your liking. I like a famous Zen phrase "Ichigo Ichie" meaning "Treasure every encounter for it will never recur". So I always try to enjoy guiding every tourist with my best hospitality. Zen concepts have greatly influenced many aspects of Japanese culture, I will explain some of them and allow you to explore Zen world through some of my tours. Please contact me any time. I'm looking forward to seeing you and spending wonderful time with you. See you soon !

Kenji was great. Knowledgeable, well-prepared and flexible. I appreciated his help with my somewhat impromptu shopping stops, even helping to find an especially wonderful store selling ceramic art pieces (vs. a lot of the mass market kind of places), and snack stops.
