Hi, I'm a National licensed guide living in OSAKA.
Raised between KYOTO and OSAKA, I've got two different unique cultures, customs and dialects.
So called Bilingual??
I can guide you both cities from Major tourist spots to Off-the-beaten paths. Throughout the tour, I'll show you unique local cultures and history !!
Since I got the license in 2015, I've guided foreign tourists to OSAKA, KYOTO and NARA and really enjoyed meeting with foreign guests. And also experienced Mt.KOYA, HIMEJI and KOBE.
Based on your request, I suggest the best memorial tour just for you !!
“Customised tour”
Had 2 days in Kyoto visiting the popular sites as well as the lesser known sites such as Mt Kurama. Kay is easy going, friendly and knowledgeable. She made my stay in Kyoto most memorable. Thank you. Winston

(4 reviews)Hi, Winston. Thank you for taking time and sending me kind feedback. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the 2-days tour. I also had a great time with you such as a quiet coffee shop you found and Mt. Kurama. Kyoto has a lot of off-the-beaten spots with their seasonal beauty other than Mt. Kurama. See you soon. Kay

“Personalized excursions to Nara and Wakayama”
I enjoyed two customized long days trips organized by Kay travelling from Kyoto to lesser visited temples, shrines and nature sights in Nara and Wakayama prefectures. My wishes for the trips were fulfilled thanks to Kay’s care and guiding input.
