Traditional Town “Uji” Kyoto Exploration Tour
Joined 2023
The small town of Uji is known as one of the most traditional sites, and is also famous for Uji-Matcha (green tea). Despite the town's rich history and beautiful nature, Uji is often forgotten by many tourists. If you want to experience Kyoto's unique traditional atmosphere, but do not want to go to overly crowded touristy places, this tour is perfect for you.

About Tour Guide Yuki K.
Hi, thank you for checking my profile!
My name is Yuki. I live in Kyoto. I was born in Wakayama, but have lived in many places in Kansai area. I also have the experience of studying abroad in America for 4 years, so I speak English fluently.
As for my hobbies, I like to play the piano, play gymnastics, and read books. I also teach Japanese part time so feel free to ask me any questions about Japanese language too!
I'm a friendly person so you can talk to me like your friend. I love talking to people with many different cultural backgrounds and learning new things from them. I think Japan is such a beautiful country and I'm excited to share a little bit of it with you in our tour and contribute to making your day memorable!

“Our Kyoto adventure with Yuki”
Going to Japan without knowing the language seemed intimidating. My daughter and I were fortunate enough to place our Kyoto adventure in Yuki’s hands! We shared the sights we wanted to see, the food we wanted to try, and the souvenirs we wanted to buy. Yuki did the rest, planning the restaurants, shops, and sites into an awesome weeklong adventure. We used public transportation - trains, buses, trollies – with Yuki timing the schedule to perfection. Yuki speaks excellent English, and is a wonderful gentleman/guide. I would definitely recommend his services.
“Connect train and escort to Uji and visit”
Thank you Yuki, great job, precise and polite. Just work a bit more on answering phone calls, sometimes it can be urgent.
“Excellent ”
Yuki was very informative, sociable, and friendly and made our tour a wonderfully fun experience.

Other Popular Unique Experience Tours in Kyoto
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.
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!!
Koto Lesson in Nijo,Kyoto
Let's learn Japanese instrument Koto at cozy Kyo-machiya house! Koto, Japanese traditional instrument, seems difficult to play and try for beginners. However, at Soushunan, the lesson by the professional instructor enables you to play one song in 80min.
