Would you like to have an awesome time with friendly, knowledgeable local guide in Japan? It also comes with cool photos. . . If so, your guide must be Toshi!!!! Who is he? Hello, there!My name is Toshi, I grew up in Japan. I am a professional guide/photographer. I take photos for magazines, national TV, air line and fun! In 2013, I was assigned to take pictures in New Zealand for 2 months fully sponsored by Air line company. In 2014 and 15, I worked as a professional guide in New Zealand. Winter of 2016, I worked as a photographer/guide for Niseko Photography and Guiding. Since then, I have been showing around Japan to my clients from all over the world! Aa a guide, I guided more than 1000 people for the last 3 years from all over the world. I love traveling and meeting people, am super friendly, easy going and open minded! I can show you from Japanese traditional temples, gardens, etc. . to hidden alley, Japanese art scene, hipster cafe, sake bar, Izakaya where locals hang out! You name it! My tour is your tour, you tell me what you want to experience and I will make you happy in my backyard! If you want, I can take pictures of you with my DSLR camera during the tour and will send them to you after the tour. Trust me, these photos are great!!!haha I believe pictures with people are always better than just landscape ones. The professional photography service is included to the tour price already!

Transport details
Type: Public Transportation / Category: Bus
We use public transportations. However, we can use taxi if you prefer. Taxi is cheap in Kyoto and they are all over. You have to cover the taxi fee. I would recommend the combination of Taxi and public transportation to maximize your time and energy.
