About Tour Guide Niko T.
KONNICHIWA!!
I’m Niko!
I’ve lived in Australia and worked at the Osaka Expo 2025.
Through those experiences, I met people from all over the world — we hung out together, and I loved taking them to hidden local spots that tourists usually don’t find, like cozy cafés, local restaurants, and beautiful nature spots.
I’m a very friendly person who loves learning new things. I enjoy not only sharing unique and lesser-known sides of Japan, but also hearing stories about your country and anything you’d like to talk about!
I’m a big FOODIE! (Please go to my galleries!)
Please let me make you try my favorite Japanese foods!!
I also love taking a pictures and will always bring my camera with me, , so I can take beautiful photos of you during the tour — and you’ll get them on the spot as a little gift !
Providing warm hospitality to people is truly my joy.
You won’t regret joining my tour — I promise!
Can’t wait to meet you soon!

“Evening Stroll in Gion”
We had a great time walking around Gion with Nico. She was extremely accommodating and helpful and tailored the tour itinerary to our preferences. She really knows her way around the area, and had great food recommendations. The sukiyaki place she helped us reserve was the best meal during our entire trip. Even after our tour, she continued to give us suggestions for where to go and eat in Kyoto. She is a great guide and I would 10/10 recommend getting her for your trips to Kyoto/Osaka.

“Kyoto Perfect Day tour”
Niko was an excellent tour guide for my trip to Kyoto. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and very easy to spend the day with. She explained the culture clearly, paced the tour perfectly, and shared local insights I wouldn’t have found on my own. She made the experience smooth, informative, and genuinely enjoyable, and I’d highly recommend her to anyone.
