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.

Wunderbarer Tag

Ich habe Yuta für eine Solo Tour bei meinem ersten Aufenthalt in Kyoto gebucht. Und es hat sich wirklich gelohnt. Yuta hat vorab schon ein paar Fragen zu meinen Wünschen und Vorlieben gestellt und daher die Tour individualisiert. Er spricht wirklich gut deutsch und ist eine sehr sympathische Person. Er hat immer wieder kleine, hilfreiche Informationen z.B. zum öffentlichen Nahverkehr einfließen lassen. Das hat mir sehr geholfen. Ich hatte daher einen wunderbaren und informativen Tag mit Yuta!

Ein sch?ner Tag in Kyoto

Yuta hat uns für einen Tag Kyoto nähergebracht. Die vorgeschlagene Tour war genau was wir gesucht haben. Er hat uns die berühmtesten Sehenswürdigkeiten gezeigt und sehr interessant über diese und das Leben in Japan berichtet. Yuta’s Deutschkenntnisse sind sehr gut und wir hatten viel Spaß miteinander. Da es ein sehr heißer Tag war, hat er sich super um unser persönliches Wohlergehen gekümmert. Wir können Yuta als Reiseführer gerne weiterempfehlen. Liebe Grüße und vielen Dank noch mal von Anja und Heidi.

Wenn Sie wieder nach Japan kommen, würde ich mich sehr freuen, Ihnen wieder zu sehen. Vielen Dank!
