About Tour Guide Kanae O.

Hello! I am Kanae, a nationally licensed guide. While working full-time as a lecturer at a local university in Kyoto, I have also been guiding for two years.


Born and raised in Kyoto, I am excited to share the beauty and culture of my hometown with my customers. Kyoto is an enchanting city, and even as a local, I am continually fascinated by its many charming spots. Whether it's the serene temples, vibrant markets, or hidden gems, there is always something new to explore and appreciate in this wonderful city.


Also, since my home is close to Shiga Prefecture, I am very familiar with the area. While Shiga may not be as popular as Kyoto, it offers a wealth of attractions for tourists. From historical sites such as temples and shrines to the stunning natural beauty of Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan, there is much to see and do. I am passionate about promoting Shiga and sharing its unique charm with visitors.

Incredible Sites and Perfect Guide!

I cannot say enough good things about Kanae. From the moment she picked us up from the hotel, her warmth and professionalism was evident. The temples she took us to were all some of the most stunning temples we visited during our time in Japan, and all off the beaten path so no crowds. In fact, we were the only ones there at the first! Kanae is also incredibly knowledgable about the history and traditions at each temple. Afterwards, she took us to her favorite ramen spot in Kyoto and it did not disappoint... I'm still dreaming of the food I had there. Thank you so much, Kanae!

Wonderful tour guide!

We booked Kanae during the peak of cherry blossom season. Everything was extremely crowded but Kanae got us to all of the stops we wanted to make. She gave us just the right amount of information about our locations and even took us to some stores off the beaten path. She was extremely helpful and her English was very good so we had no issues with communication. If we are ever back in the Kyoto area we will certainly book with her again.

The best day!!

We got to know the "real" countryside with Kanae. The hike through the tea fields was gorgeous! She also took us to a mom & pop restaurant for a delicious lunch. The two temples we visited were breathtaking in different ways. We also enjoyed shopping, and of course, Starbucks! The added bonus was having the convenience of her car to take us around. Thank you, Kanae!! We will not forget our wonderful day with you!
