About Tour Guide Yuta I.
【Please note: For April, I am only accepting tours in English. (I may be available even if the calendar shows as full, so please feel free to inquire.)】
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!

“Eine wunderschöne Tour mit Yuta”
Wir hatten einen spannenden und wunderbaren Tag mit Yuta in Kyoto. Die Zeit verging wie im Flug und wir haben viel gesehen und erfahren. Vielen Dank lieber Yuta das du uns deine Heimatstadt und deine Kultur nahegebracht hast. Viele Grüße von den Hamburgern

“An engaging tour of Kyoto”
Yuta was great fun and informative. Even for our group of 7, with 5 teenagers (so he had a very high bar with a short attention span for most of the group). He was able to provide rich historical and cultural information, connecting with the group's diverse range of interests. Additionally, he works in media, so his pictures during the tour were amazing (by far the best of the whole trip). I would highly recommend him to anyone touring Kyoto or the surroundings.

Yuta I.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I had a great time guiding your energetic and curious group. Even with five teenagers, it was a lot of fun because everyone had such diverse interests, which made the historical and cultural talks really rewarding for me too. I'm also so glad you liked the photos! I always enjoy capturing those moments, so I’m happy they turned out to be the best of your trip. Please come back to Kyoto again sometime,I'd love to show you more!

“Ein Ausflug mit Gegensätzen ”
Wir hatten eine tolle Tour mit Yuta in Osaka. Wir sind mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln vom Kreuzfahrthafen in Kobe gefahren. In Osaka haben wir zuerst die Burg besucht. Sehr beeindruckend und interessant. Ganz oben mit einem tollen Ausblick auf die Stadt. Danach ging es wieder mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln zum Namba Viertel mit der berühmten Dotonbori Strasse. Hier ist es sehr lebendig, voller Reklame, bunten Läden, vielen Lokalen. Wir haben sehr lecker gegessen, Reisbowl - Reis mit hauchdünn geschnittenen Rindfleisch, Käse und rohen Eiern. Yuta hat uns toll durch den Tag begleitet, er hat uns viel erzählt. Wir empfehlen Ihnen und diese Tour auf jeden Fall weiter.
