My nick name is Rick and Japanese name is Ryoichi. I was born and grew up in Kyoto. Kyoto has so many sightseeing spots based on its 1000 year history. I will propose you the "must see" spots from local eyes not only temples & shrines but also alternative side of Kyoto. As Kyoto certified English guide and National Government Licensed English guide, I will assist you with high hospitality for your satisfactory stay in Kyoto. 1. For the first visitors I will prepare the tour with selection out of the spots as Nijo-castle, Imperial Palace, Nishiki-market, Gion amusement quarter, Arashiyama area and some temples and shrines of World Cultural Heritage Sites based on your request and taste. 2. For the visitors who want to see more spots than regular tours I will prepare some unique tours like visiting Fushimi area for Sake brewery and riding classical boat, visiting some traditional handicrafts ateliers, enjoying traditional performing art, etc. Please make any inquiry for your preferred type of Kyoto guiding without hesitation. I would be happy to propose you with the type of tour that makes your visit in Kyoto unforgettable one. National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter (EN01767) City of Kyoto Visitors Host - Licensed Guide certified by City of Kyoto (EN00004) 2nd Grade of the licensing examination on knowledge of Kyoto history & culture I do not have a commercial driver's license.
