Kyoto is beautiful, but walking long distances and moving between sights can be tiring. This tour makes it easy. Ride in a van taxi. While crowds can’t always be avoided, you’ll save time and energy between stops.

I've been living in Kyoto for over 4 years, and I love exploring and sharing the city's amazing history and culture with people from all over the world. During university, I spent over a year traveling around Europe, which helped me become fluent in English and German.
I studied at the University of Leipzig in Germany and got great experience through an exchange term there. My wife is German, so I'm always in an international environment, learning about different cultures.
Besides guiding tours, I'm also a social media influencer. I love sharing interesting content about Japanese and German life, connecting with people globally, and showing off the beauty of Kyoto.
I offer custom tours for individuals and groups, making sure each experience is unique and special. With my deep knowledge of Kyoto's historical sites and architecture, I'll make your visit to Japan's ancient capital fun and enlightening.
During our tour, I'll share cool historical insights and stories about the places we visit, helping you understand Japan's past and its connection to the present. I'm friendly and attentive, so I'll make sure you have a great time in Japan!

“Tour in Deutsch”
Wir, 2 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder aus Österreich, hatten einen großartigen Tag und können die Tour mit Yuta nur wärmstens empfehlen. Seine Kenntnisse haben uns selbst bei den Hauptsehenswürdigkeiten geholfen immer wieder abseits der Menschenmassen diese in Ruhe zu genießen. Die Kinder waren auch immer gut unterhalten. Danke Yuta!

Thank you so much for the great feedback, Michael! I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that the kids had fun as well. I hope you have an amazing time in Kyoto and take home lots of wonderful memories to Austria. By the way, I’ve been practicing the Austrian German phrases your family taught me, such a fun memory! Maybe our paths will cross again someday, I’d love that! Best wishes! Yuta
