Let's enjoy early morning Kyoto and maiko experience
Kyoto is one of the most popular places to visit, but so crowded. If you want to enjoy quiet Kyoto, I recommend you visit there early morning. In this tour, you can enjoy bamboo grove, morning coffee at a Japanese style coffee shop and beautiful river and mountains scenery from a wooden bridge. After that, why don't you try 'washoku', or Japanese cuisine and maiko, or cute apprentice geisha's dancing? My special early morning tour will give you wonderful and unforgettable memories in Japan!!

One day bike tour to southern part of Kyoto, Uji and Fushimi
In this tour, we can visit all the must-see places in the southern part of Kyoto together. Fushimi, known for the Fushimi Inari Shrine with its thousand torii gates and sake breweries, and Uji, famous for its matcha and the Phoenix Hall, each hold a unique position in Kyoto. During this tour, I, who have lived in Uji for three years and now work in Fushimi, will share the charm of these two towns from a local's perspective, as we explore by bicycle.

Hear the Hidden Sounds of Demachiyanagi • Sound Walk
Kyoto rewards those who listen. From a classic shōtengai (covered shopping street) to sacred forest, we use professional microphones to capture everyday city textures and quiet shrine atmospheres. I’ll show you simple recording methods, then edit your sounds into a personal 'audio postcard' after the walk. Curious about pace, group size, or timing? Message me and we’ll shape it together.
