Dear my guests, I am thrilled to be meeting with you and sharing the inspiring moments together. I am a Kyoto-born local guide and coordinator specialist in Kyoto. I have over 20 years of experience in guiding the guests and company executives to amazing moments. Mainly worked as a liaison for companies to connect people and companies. Born, raised and educated in Kyoto. I am living in Kyoto most of my life. I lived in Vail, Colorado in my high school days as an exchange student for an year. Graduated from the national Osaka university majoring language and started to work in Tokyo for companies as a bilingual assistant and coordination specialist. I also run a few art exhibitions yearly to exhibit my air pieces. I was taught by my father and a memory of my grandfather, both great artists in Kyoto painting. As one of the giving projects, I offer cultural events, introducing Kyoto style in quality, tradition and design, connecting everyone to the pleasure of artistic and deeper cultural scenes. It will be my honor to be sharing the inspiring moments with you. I am flexible in schedule the destination during your stay, so please feel free to let me know your preference and what you like to see and experience in Kyoto and surrounding cities. I try my best to find the possible best suggestions. In addition to visiting temples and shrines, there are many options including experiences of Japanese sweet-make, green tea, art studio, hands-on crafts! Please view some photos of the past tours and places to feel the real Kyoto experience. Mingling with the real local artisans or even business people will give you a special experience!
