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.

“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.

“The perfect tour guide!”
We loved Kanae!!! We wanted a one full day customized tour of Kyoto seeing all the major sites while trying to avoid the crowds, and also having a sprinkling of more local off the beaten path places. Kanae exceeded our expectations in every way! Not only with the communication leading up to our tour day, but also as we were with her. We truly enjoyed spending time with her in addition to going through her well curated itinerary. She spoke really well English and wish and drove us to the different locations which was also greatly appreciated. Highly recommend Kanae!!!

It was a real pleasure spending time with you and your husband, and guiding both of you through Kyoto. I'm glad the itinerary and transportation made your experience comfortable and enjoyable. Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot—thank you again, and I hope to welcome you back to Kyoto in the future!
