Hi, I’m Jasmine! I am a friendly, multilingual guide based in Kyoto.
My tours are perfect for families with children and easy-paced for elderly guests. I offer warm, personal experiences filled with fun stories, local delights, and hidden gems you won’t find in guidebooks. Let’s explore Kyoto together!

“Absolutely amazing!”
Jasmine was a fantastic guide and really elevated our experience. My wife and I had only a short amount of time in Kyoto, but Jasmine really made that time feel complete. From temples, to shrines, to small shops, to food. Jasmine had it all planned out, while still adjusting to our personal needs. I can't recommend her enough. (P.s. sorry for scaring you when my wife got a bloody nose. She was alright and we really appreciate the Iron supplement gummies you picked up for us!)

“Amazing day in Kyoto!”
We had a fantastic day with Jasmine. She was absolutely brilliant with our two boys (aged 9 and 12) and gave us all a brilliant and insightful experience of Kyoto. Thank you Jasmine! We highly, highly recommend you to others!

“Nishiki Market Food Guide + Gion Night Stroll”
Our group of 5 adults & 2 children age 3 & 7 had an incredible tour with Jasmine. We started our private tour walking through Nishiki Market where Jasmine ordered 7 different local tastes for us to try at different stalls along the way. She made it easy by ordering for us, securing a place for us to sit and try each item despite the crowds, and she was knowledgeable about everything we tasted. We loved hearing her explanations about each item. And she even picked up extra treats and candies for the children. Although she had specific places for us to stop, she was also flexible with the interest of everyone in our group as she allowed for us to stop and shop or try other items along the way. She went at our pace while maintaining the structure of the tour. Next she took us to the Gion district and was so informative walking us along the streets past tea houses and giving us a lot of fun and interesting history and facts about Giesha and Meiko. We continued on the visit several local shrines and she made us feel comfortable, walking us through the process of visiting each shrine. My daughter especially loved participating in this as Jasmine guided her through the nuances of each shrine. Jasmine was very kind, patient, fun and informative. We would definitely recommend her to anyone traveling to the Kyoto area.
