As a self-proclaimed foodie, I am always on the lookout for the most delicious street food and the coziest Izakaya in town. I have extensive knowledge of Japanese wine, and I can point you in the direction of the best restaurants and special cuisine that are sure to satisfy your taste buds. Whether you are a connoisseur or simply enjoy trying new things, I can guarantee you an unforgettable culinary experience. In addition to my love for food, I also have a strong passion for Japanese history and culture. Having worked at the Samurai and Ninja museum, as well as a kimono and teahouse for three years, I have gained a wealth of knowledge about the customs and traditions of Japan. Whether you're interested in learning about the history of the samurai or the art of the tea ceremony, I can offer you an insightful and engaging tour. As your tour guide, I am committed to making your visit to Kyoto as enjoyable and memorable as possible. With my enthusiasm, positive attitude, and insider knowledge, I can help you discover the best that this city has to offer.
