Hallow ! This is Eric Tanaka.
I was born in Kyoto, and I have been living in Kyoto.
I am sure that Kyoto is one of the best city for sightseeing and living.
I wish if I can introduce some nice places for you by walking around city streets.
Also, in suburbs, there are a lot of nice sightseeing places such as Bamboo forest, Monkey park, Fushimi shrine, Zen practice temples and so on.
Let's enjoy Kyoto town and Kyoto food.with me.

“Top day in Kyoto”
We spent the most pleasant day of stay in Japan seeing the highlights of beautiful Kyoto . Seeing it with the help of a local , Eric T, was special. It was like being with a long time friend on a leisurely walk. Knowledgable , interesting and a gentleman . We left the itinerary to him and went with the flow . A special day and thank you Eric .
