Hello and welcome to Kyoto! I am a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. You can call me MIYA. I got my certification in 2021 and have been working as a professional guide since January 2023, primarily in Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, and Koyasan. I find Japanese culture to be truly distinctive. And I love Kyoto, which still embodies so much of that unique culture and present to travelers. There are so many precious moments working as a guide. When guests see something and say “Wow!” when they enjoy Kyoto and discover commonalities with their own culture.etc.. My personal interests include eating, drinking, art, movies, and travel. I will try to find restaurants that match your preferences. Here, I would like to start by offering tours that I have already guided visitors many times and I found them popular. For example: Backroad Arashiyama to the famous bamboo grove Kyoto Art Tour Garden Tour Tour of Nishijin, the Heart of Kimono Craftsmanship Nara one Day Tour etc.. And then Future tours I hope to offer here include some lesser-known spots such as: Gion Festival Tour (through July) Osaka Modern Architecture Tour Kyoto Film Tour: Once Called Japan's Hollywood Shiga Prefecture Water City Tour And many more Looking forward to seeing you！Thanks. I hold the following qualifications: Art Certification Kyoto Certification History Certification Authorized Tour Conductor National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter
