Hello :) I’m Nehal, I’ve been calling Kyoto home for almost eleven years now. I completed both my undergraduate and master’s degrees here, which provided me with a deeper understanding of Japan’s history, culture, politics, and religion. Currently, I’m completing my Ph.D. in politics, which continues to fuel my passion for exploring Japan’s multifaceted identity. Throughout my academic journey, my love for Japan grew, and it inspired me to become a tour guide. For over five years, I’ve had the privilege of guiding visitors through the beautiful cities of Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara. Each tour allows me to share my knowledge of Japan’s traditions, history, and food, while also showing travelers some of the hidden gems that can only be appreciated through an outsider’s perspective. I’ve met so many amazing people from all over the world, and every tour is an opportunity to connect and share the wonders of Japan with others.

Overview of your Kyoto tour

Embark on a journey to discover Kyoto’s serene Shrine and Zen temples. Begin your tour by meeting your guide at the designated meeting point, then stroll through the charming Geisha District as you make your way to Kenninji Temple, one of Kyoto’s five Zen temples. Continue your walk along the beautifully preserved Ninenzaka and Sanenzaka streets, where you’ll experience the old-world atmosphere and browse traditional shops and homes that transport you back in time. Next, visit the breathtaking Kiyomizu-dera Temple, known for its stunning architecture and the opportunity to purify yourself with the temple’s three holy water streams. Take in the iconic 180-degree panoramic view of Kyoto from within the temple. On your way, walk through Nene`s street and enter the Kodaiji Temple, where you can explore the rich history of the Edo period and learn about the love story between Hideyoshi, the builder of Osaka Castle, and his wife Nene. End your tour with the beautiful Yasaka Shrine, housing hundreds of lanterns.
