“Thanks Miyu! ***** Nice tour guide! ”
Hired Miyu to take us around Nara and Arashiyama over two days. We are a family of four with two kids: 3 and 9. Miyu met us at our hotel in Kyoto and we took public transportation to both areas for the day. She was on time, courteous and adapted to our needs. Would recommend!

“Kyoto, highly recommended”
We had the pleasure of spending a full day touring Kyoto with Miyu and it was truly an exceptional experience. From the very beginning, Miyu impressed us with her good English skills, her professionalism, and her ability to make the day both engaging and enjoyable. She is also a native Japanese speaker and a resident of Kyoto so was able to translate and communicate with the locals. Her knowledge of Kyoto’s historic sites is outstanding—she not only shared the history and cultural significance of each location but also brought the stories to life in a way that felt personal and memorable. Beyond the well-known landmarks, Miuy took us to hidden corners of the city that we would never have discovered on our own. One of the highlights was a tucked-away ramen shop that became an instant favorite of our trip. What really set this tour apart was Miyu’s flexibility and thoughtful recommendations. She tailored the itinerary to match our interests and made sure we got the most out of our time. At the end of the tour, she went above and beyond by giving us valuable tips on what to see and do during the rest of our stay in Kyoto. We felt we absolutely got our money’s worth and more. For anyone looking for a guide who combines deep cultural knowledge, local food expertise, and a warm, approachable personality, we cannot recommend Miuy highly enough. Whether you’re traveling individually or with a small group, booking a day with her will be one of the best decisions you make in Kyoto.
