About Tour Guide Yuta I.
Hi, my name is Yuta, and I’m a guide based 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.
As a local guide, I know Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara very well. I love showing both the famous highlights and the smaller hidden spots that most visitors don’t get to see.
I 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, I share stories, history, and insights to help you experience these places more deeply.
I also enjoy taking photos during tours so you’ll have lasting memories of your visit. Most importantly, my goal is to make your time in Japan enjoyable, relaxed, and truly special.
If you have questions or would like help planning, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to welcoming you and showing you the beauty of Japan!

“Es war tatsächlich ein unvergesslicher Tag in Kyoto”
Mit Yuta unterwegs zu sein bedeutet viel zu lernen und viel zu sehen. Auch auf etwas weniger überfüllten Pfaden zur Hochsaison in Kyoto. Von der Abholung am Hotel, bis zu unserem Abschied hatten wir viel erfahren und uns auch gut unterhalten. Sein Deutsch ist sehr in Ordnung und wir würden Kyoto mit ihm wieder entdecken wollen

Hallo Peter! Vielen Dank für eure lieben Worte! Ich habe die Tour mit euch auch wirklich genossen, es hat Spaß gemacht, gemeinsam Kyoto neu zu entdecken. Und wir hatten ja genau das perfekte Timing, die Herbstfärbung war gerade auf ihrem Höhepunkt. Ich freue mich sehr, dass euch auch die ruhigeren Wege gefallen haben. Wenn ihr wieder in Kyoto seid, zeige ich euch gern noch mehr meiner Lieblingsplätze:))

“A wonderful tour in Kyoto”
We had a wonderful day with Waka. We got in touch through Yuta, who actually came to at least greet us and drive with us to Kyoto. Waka showed us so many amazing things about Kyoto, as well as its culture and etiquette. We'll never forget this day. Thank you, Waka and Yuta.

“Sehr interessante Führung ”
Mit Yuta hatte wir eine historisch und kulturell sehr interessante und fundierte Führung. Er ist sehr kommunikativ und angenehm im Umgang. Er geht flexibel auf Wünsche ein und erklärt auch die religiösen Zusammenhänge der verschiedenen Besichtigungspunkte sehr gut. Auch seine Restaurantempfehlungen sind hervorzuheben. Gerne wieder!
