Hi! I'm Amy. I have a wide range of work experience, such as a professional tour guide in Kyoto, an ALT in elementary and junior high schools in Japan, an English-Thai translator for NHK core Kyoto program, a flight attendant for three international airlines, inbound, outbound and domestic tour guide during my university studies in Thailand. I believe I'm the best fit for this job because of the skills and expertise to deal with people and communication abilities. I also love service, meeting people and traveling to different places. I have excellent interpersonal and communication skills and I am able to engage effectively with a variety of people. I am confident I can respond quickly and efficiently to any queries or issues that may arise during a tour. In addition, I am a team player and am able to work effectively with other members of the team.

Overview of your Kyoto tour

Kiyomizudera temple's stage, supported by massive pillars perched on a cliff face using a unique joinery technique without nails, is one of Japan's most famous images. But Kiyomizu-dera offers more than just stunning scenery; the visiting experience begins long before you even reach the temple itself. Two streets, Ninnenzaka and Sannenzaka, lead to Kiyomizu-dera Temple from the Gion district. Edo-era architecture still stands along the path to the temple. Enjoy shopping for souvenirs or snacks; some shops sell Kiyomizu-yaki pottery and yuba (a soybean-based tofu-like dish). Stop for photos with Yasaka Pagoda, one of Kyoto's iconic landmarks.
