Greetings from Japan! My name is Chiyoko, Nice to see you on line. Thanks for reading my profile! Since my childhood, I have been very unique and proactive in a way that is unusual Japanese. I went to the dock in Kobe and shouted out "What's your name?" to a boat in English that I had just learned, and someone answered back to me. I still vividly remember how moved I was at that moment. That's why I have always been interested in people from other countries. I think it would be a waste time to come all the way to Japan and if you go back home after just doing some run-of-the-mill sightseeing with crowded tourists. That's why I try to introduce places that are difficult for overseas visitors to visit alone. I also hope to take you to places that not many other guides have introduced you to, so that you can take home a unforgettable image of Japan. I also love to travel, so I try to be helpful to travelers coming to Japan as much as possible. I provide private guiding services in Western Japan. I can guarantee you an unique and wonderful, special experience. I try to meet the needs of each customer in a personalized manner according to their needs travelers can count on my services for their private tours. Also I try to keep my tour's quality, comfort and security. I look forward to showing you the most interesting places. It wasn't that long ago that I registered on Tour By Locals and started guiding. This is because my main job is interpreting. However, in 2025 alone, I have guided many people from the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Mexico, India, etc. I make it a point not to pressure the travelers I've guided into writing reviews. But each time I review something after my tour, I try to improve it for the next time, and I am always trying to do my best as a guide. Some people have also told me they would like me to guide them when they come to Japan, which is very encouraging. I inherently value meeting new people. In that sense, I truly enjoy my work as a guide and am deeply grateful for the opportunity to guide so many people. Thank you for reading to the end. I hope you have a wonderful trip to Japan.

Kyoto has so many wonderful temples and shrines that it's impossible to see them all in one visit. However, it's surprisingly difficult to visit them all efficiently. I came up with a tour that would take you to as many temples and shrines as possible in one day, while also allowing you to experience local Kyoto along the way. Using my many years of experience, I will help you make your time in Kyoto meaningful and memorable. I have taken many overseas guests on this route so far, and they have all been very satisfied. Although the walking distance is a little longer, you can take it easy and explore at your own pace.
Meet at Kyoto Station (or your staying hotel) - Golden Temple - Hirano Shrine - Kitano Tenmangu Shrine - Arashiyama - Tenryu-ji Temple - Bamboo forest - Togetsukyo Bridge - Nishiki market and Teramachi street Go back to Kyoto station and finish
