“You want not just the usual tourist attractions? Then book Masayuki!”
We booked the Toriimoto tour. Great and impressive tour with great guides (Masayuki brought his wife Mariya who took photos of us). They showed us areas and attractions you wouldn‘t visit or even know about when on your own. It‘s not the usual stuff, but if you want to see different places than all the others visit and avoid the crowds the tour with Masayuki is perfect for you. Of course you should be prepared to walk a bit. But it‘s really worth it!

“Thank you Hiro!”
We loved Hiro as our guide! Very upbeat and informative. We learned things we would not have known without a local guide. We went by subway, train, bus and taxi to 4 sites. We stopped and enjoyed a wonderful lunch as well. Be prepared to walk quickly, since this is how you will see it all. Thank you for showing us your amazing city. We hope to return!

“Thank you Ana for the wonderful tour of Kyoto,”
Ana is an excellent tour guide, she speaks English very well, and her deep knowledge of Japanese history and culture is incredible. She navigates the Kyoto transportation system with great efficiency and is fluent in Japanese. Her organization skills let us visit all attractions on our itinerary, we never felt rushed and she even stayed with us a little longer to help us catch a train back to Osaka. We highly recommend Ana as your tour guide. Jonna & Peter

Dear Joanna and Peter, thank you very much for your time and trust in my services. I had a great time with you both; I loved all our chats. It was my absolute pleasure to show you Kyoto and talk about Japan. I wish you both much health and a great summer!

Private Tours in Kyoto
Unlock the mysteries of Kyoto with a local tour guide! From temples in Gion to lush gardens in Arashiyama, discovering Kyoto’s global appeal is one click away.
Ready to cool off from the day’s heat and high activity? Book a tour to the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, a mesmerizing forest of towering bamboo stalks. While a popular destination, private tour guides can lead you off the beaten path to explore lesser-known trails and rest stops, allowing you and your travel team to escape the crowds and rest in the peaceful ambiance of the grove.
Beyond the visual appeal, your Kyoto tour guide can share stories about the significance of bamboo in Japanese culture overall, and help you gain appreciation for Arashiyama's natural beauty in a more intimate way.
