Nara highlights with deer (from Kyoto)
Joined 2023
Only in Nara, you can get the surreal experience of seeing over 1,000 deer roaming around Japan's ancient capital. There is no doubt that a tour to Nara where I show you the best sights will make good stories to tell your family and friends about your vacation!
Also, during the tour I can take photos and videos of your fun memories and share them with you later (I have 10,000 followers on Instagram, so I am good at photos and movies).

About Tour Guide Yuta I.
Hi everyone! My name is Yuta!
Thanks for checking out my profile.
I've been living in Kyoto for over 4 years, and I love exploring and sharing the city's amazing history and culture with people from all over the world. During university, I spent over a year traveling around Europe, which helped me become fluent in English and German.
I studied at the University of Leipzig in Germany and got great experience through an internship there. My wife is German, so I'm always in an international environment, learning about different cultures.
Besides guiding tours, I'm also a social media influencer with over 10,000 Instagram followers. I love sharing interesting content about Japanese and German life, connecting with people globally, and showing off the beauty of Kyoto.
I offer custom tours for individuals and groups, making sure each experience is unique and special. With my deep knowledge of Kyoto's historical sites and architecture, I'll make your visit to Japan's ancient capital fun and enlightening.
During our tour, I'll share cool historical insights and stories about the places we visit, helping you understand Japan's past and its connection to the present. I'm friendly and attentive, so I'll make sure you have a great time in Japan!
Feel free to message me if you have any questions about your trip to Japan!
Hope to see you soon on one of my tours.

“Great day with Yuta”
We had a fantastic day touring Kyoto with Yuta. He included all the interests of everyone in our family of four and made it special for each person. He had a lot of knowledge of Japanese culture and gave us a great tour of Kyoto!

Hey Tyson!! Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed the tour. It was a fantastic day for me as well. I was especially happy to guide you following your relatives and to share my knowledge of anime and manga, which are some of my favorite topics. If you ever visit Japan again, please let me know. I’d love to guide you once more!

“Yuta is the man!”
We had an incredible experience touring Kyoto with Yuta. He was warm, friendly, and went out of his way to tailor the day to our interests. His deep knowledge of the city added so much depth to the experience, and beyond that, he was just genuinely fun to spend time with. It felt more like exploring with a friend than a tour guide. We strongly recommend Yuta to anyone looking to truly enjoy and understand Kyoto — you won’t be disappointed!

Thank you so much for your nice words Jeff! From the moment I met you in front of the cruise ship, it didn’t feel like we were meeting for the first time!! It was so much fun guiding such energetic people like you guys, and we managed to explore so many different places together! I’m really glad you enjoyed the tour, and I hope to see you again someday!! Safe travels!

“Two Days in Kyoto ”
Yuta thank you so much for an amazing two days. Everywhere was absolutely amazing!! I am so glad I chose you as my guide. I felt like I was being shown around Kyoto not by a “guide” but by a friend I had known for years. If you are visiting Japan please book with Yuta. He is great!! Looking forward to a fishing tour in the future. Hahaha

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed the past two day truly felt like I was exploring Kyoto with an old friend as well. The adventure at Nanzenji in the rain was such a unique experience, wasn’t it? And having sukiyaki together was definitely one of the highlights for me! Please take care, and I hope to see you again in Japan someday!
