Hello I'm Minori.
Kyoto is a popular destination so you might look for deeper place of it. My area is Yamashina, where you pass when traveling Shiga. It has beautiful mountains and water, also its temples and shrines are less crowded. It's a good place for those who have visited famous sites already.
I used to work at travel agency so I had chances to company a group tour with a guide and it was an amazing experience that I could see people actually having a fun. I also worked in a hotel and learned how important hospitality is to make guests feel comfortable.
I teach kids English so I would like to show them how rewarding and proud it is to show people around our beautiful countries, and English would be helpful in many ways.
Let’s go and see beautiful Kyoto and experience some of the best attractions here with me!

Although it was a short interaction, communicating with Ms. Minori was a breeze. I will hire her again for my future travel engagements. I highly recommend her service.
