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. Visit famous spots like Fushimi Inari, Golden Temple, and Bamboo Forests with your guide who is a Instagram influencer can also take amazing photos of your trip.

About Tour Guide Yuta I.

Hi, my name is Yuta, and I’m the leader of our guiding team here in Kyoto and Osaka:) I guide in both English and German, and I enjoy helping visitors discover Japan in a way that feels personal and memorable! We also have team members who can guide in Spanish and French, so please feel free to contact us if needed.


Our team are all based locally, and we know Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara very well. We love showing both the well-known highlights and the smaller hidden spots that most visitors don’t get to see!


Each of us brings different professional experience to our work, from teaching and interpreting to writing and advertising. That variety helps us create tours that are not only informative but also tailored to each guest’s interests.


We design custom tours for individuals and groups, whether you’d like to explore Kyoto’s temples and gardens, Osaka’s lively neighborhoods, or Nara’s peaceful parks and friendly deer. Along the way, we’ll share stories, history, and insights to help you experience these places more deeply.


We also enjoy taking photos during tours so you’ll have lasting memories of your visit. Most importantly, we aim to make your time in Japan enjoyable, relaxed, and a really great time!


If you have questions or would like help planning, please feel free to reach out. We look forward to welcoming you and showing you the beauty of Japan!

Super Tag mit Yuta!

Wir hatten zu viert mit Yuta eine Tour in Kyoto in deutscher Sprache. Alles hat wunderbar geklappt. Yuta spricht sehr gut deutsch und hat die Tour immer wieder flexibel an unsere Wünsche angepasst! Er macht das sehr sympathisch und strahlt eine positive Energie aus! Wir hatten einen sehr guten Tag und waren happy!

Hi Gerhard!! Vielen Dank für die tolle Bewertung! Die Zeit mit euch war wirklich sehr schön. Es hat mir viel Freude gemacht, nicht nur über die Sehenswürdigkeiten, sondern auch über Japan, Politik und die Sicht der japanischen Jugend auf ihr Land zu sprechen. Diese Gespräche haben die Tour für mich besonders gemacht. Wenn ihr wieder nach Japan kommt, meldet euch gerne, ich würde mich freuen, euch wiederzusehen!

Zwei Halbtagestouren machen das Erkunden von Kyoto entspannt.

Lieber Yuta, wir haben gleich zwei Halbtagestouren mit Dir gebucht. Eine gute Entscheidung - so war alles viel entspannter und wir konnten deine vielen Infos besser aufnehmen und verarbeiten. Herzlichen Dank also noch einmal für deine tolle Begleitung durch Kyoto mit deinen Sehenswürdigkeiten und der Erläuterung der religiösen und geschichtlichen Hintergründe.

Vielen Dank für eure lieben Worte!:)) Es war mir eine große Freude, euch durch Kyoto zu begleiten und euch die kulturellen und geschichtlichen Hintergründe näherzubringen!! Besonders schön fand ich, dass wir uns auch über meine Zeit in Deutschland austauschen konnten. Ich hoffe, eure Erinnerungen an Kyoto bleiben genauso besonders wie unsere Gespräche, vielleicht sehen wir uns ja irgendwann wieder!
