"Discover Kyoto's Hidden Treasures Ⅰ: Let’s explore the traditional culture untouched by tourism"
In this tour, I'll take you on a journey to experience the ancient culture deeply rooted in Kyoto, which only locals can truly appreciate, in my car. Kyoto is a basin surrounded by mountains over 900 meters high in three directions. For most of its 1200-year history, it has thrived on this flat basin. However, once you step into the mountains surrounding the area, you'll discover a world that can only be experienced with my tour.

“Heartfelt Kyoto Journey”
My tour with Michiko-san was absolutely wonderful! She guided me not only through the beautiful places of Kyoto but also through their deeper spiritual meaning. I felt calm, inspired, and connected to Japanese culture in a very personal way. Michiko-san was incredibly attentive to every detail and perfectly adapted the route to the rainy weather, making the day comfortable and magical at the same time. She also shared fascinating stories about Kyoto’s history that brought the city to life in such a captivating way. The restaurant she chose for lunch was simply amazing - the food was delicious, authentic, and gave me the true taste of Kyoto. Every moment of the tour felt special, and I’m deeply grateful for her guidance, kindness, and warm heart.
Michiko N.

MICHIKO
