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.

Reviews

Best tour guide we could have asked for

Kanae, was so warm, professional, knowledgeable, and an all around great person. We had such a wonderful experience visiting the temples, a kimono factory and an easy going lunch. We drove in her car, which was a huge bonus. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. Her little pearls of wisdom about Kyoto (Tokyo same letters) were a gift!!

Great Kyoto Highlights

Kanae was fantastic to work with. She’s very friendly and helped to fit in as many “must dos” as possible for the 6 hours we had together. Highly recommend!!

Jon thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! I’m delighted to hear you enjoyed our time together and that we were able to fit in all your must-see spots. It was a pleasure guiding you, and I truly appreciate your recommendation.

Kanae is one of the best guides we have ever experienced

Kanae truly went out of her way to ensure we had a wonderful time visiting Kyoto. Having her drive us around made things so much easier, especially for my somewhat mobility challenged husband. Her pleasant demeanor, coupled with her knowledge of the history of her culture and excellent command of English made our day visiting Kyoto not only enjoyable but also very educational as well. She also showed us some hidden gems that were very special and not too crowded.

Lynn,thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly my pleasure to accompany you and your husband around Kyoto. I’m so glad I could help make your day comfortable and enjoyable, and that you appreciated the special spots I shared with you. Your enthusiasm and openness made the experience even more memorable for me. I hope you carry wonderful memories of Kyoto with you!
