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.

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.
