About Tour Guide Yuta I.

【Please note: For April, I am only accepting tours in English. (I may be available even if the calendar shows as full, so please feel free to inquire.)】


Hi, my name is Yuta, and I’m a guide based in Kyoto and Osaka :) I guide in both English and German, and I enjoy helping visitors discover Japan in a way that feels personal and memorable.


As a local guide, I know Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara very well. I love showing both the famous highlights and the smaller hidden spots that most visitors don’t get to see.


I design custom tours for individuals and groups, whether you’d like to explore Kyoto’s temples and gardens, Osaka’s lively neighborhoods, or Nara’s peaceful parks and friendly deer. Along the way, I share stories, history, and insights to help you experience these places more deeply.


I also enjoy taking photos during tours so you’ll have lasting memories of your visit. Most importantly, my goal is to make your time in Japan enjoyable, relaxed, and truly special.


If you have questions or would like help planning, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to welcoming you and showing you the beauty of Japan!

Reviews

Ein Tag mit Yuta

Ein Tag mit Yuta fühlt sich an wie eine kleine Zeitreise in die Geschichte Kyotos. Mit seiner freundlichen, humorvollen und witzigen Art hat er unseren gemeinsamen Tag zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis gemacht. Er zeigt Orte abseits der großen Touristenströme – wunderschöne Plätze, die sich fast privat anfühlen. Bei allen möglichen Problemen hilft er sofort, sei es beim Buchen des Shinkansen oder beim Zurechtfinden im Nahverkehr. Sein Fachwissen über die Geschichte Kyotos ist beeindruckend. Er erklärt Rituale verständlich und unterstützt sogar dabei, ein persönliches Andenken zu gestalten. Einfach ein großartiger Tag.

Hallo zusammen, vielen Dank nochmal, dass ihr meine Tour gebucht habt! Ihr seid so eine tolle, energiegeladene Truppe mit so viel Humor, die Zeit mit euch ist wirklich wie im Flug vergangen. Es hat sich für mich gar nicht wie Arbeit angefühlt, sondern eher so, als würde ich ein paar gute Freunde herumführen. Ich wünsche euch noch eine fantastische Reise durch Japan! Danke für alles!!!!!

Ein wirklich unvergesslicher Tag im positivsten Sinn

Wie schon in Osaka und Nara hatten wir mit Yuta eine perfekte Führung. Nicht nur sein deutsch sondern auch seine perfekte Umsicht waren mehr als angenehm. Dazu, wie schon bei Osaka erwähnt, seine herzliche und fröhliche Art haben es uns leicht gemacht ihm die Bestnoten zu vergeben. Er hat sie sich redlich verdient. Vielen Dank noch einmal dafür.

Vielen herzlichen Dank für diese wunderbaren Worte! Es war mir eine große Freude, euch diese drei Tage lang zu begleiten. Besonders die Zeit in Osaka mit euch hat mir sehr viel Spaß gemacht – eure herzliche und fröhliche Art ist mir wirklich in Erinnerung geblieben. Dass euch meine Führung und mein Deutsch so gut gefallen haben, bedeutet mir sehr viel. Vielen Dank für euer Vertrauen und die Bestnoten!

Perfect in Kyoto as in Osaka

Same as in Osaka and in Nara. It was a perfect harmonie between Yuta and us, all tours during these three days would have been a real shame if we would not have had them.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I also had a wonderful time with such a cheerful group like you. I’m so glad to hear that even the deer in Nara seemed to take a liking to you. It was a true pleasure for me to guide you during these days!
