About Tour Guide Akari Y.

I have started guiding in the Kansai area since 2023. I am passionate about introducing the history of Japan.

I am happy to introduce guests from overseas to the Japanese culture established by our predecessors.

I will introduce Japanese culture, food, cuisine, sake, nature, manga, spiritual culture, history, Buddhism, Shinto, Shugendo, pilgrimage paths, and other topics of interest.


Let me introduce myself. I was born in Osaka and grew up in Osaka and Kyoto. I have lived in the U.S., China, and Australia when I was young.

Reviews

What a wonderful day with Akari-san!

Our family of 4 adults, two young ladies and their parents, had a wonderful day with Akari-san in Kyoto. She was very accommodating to our ideas, fluent in English and very knowledgable about Japan`s and Kyoto`s history and culture. She has lived outside of Japan and can so easily relate to other cultures, languages and thinking patterns. She manoeuvred us effortlessly and knowledgeable through the city to the recommended and selected attractions of Kyoto and picked a very typical lunch place with great noodle dishes and in particular with respect to our two vegetarian young ladies. But foremost and most of all she was a great host because she is a genuinely nice person that you love from the very beginning and who does convey the spirit of her country and city with a convincing passion. We would definitely select just her and not any other guide if we were to come back.

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. I am very happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed your day in Kyoto. I truly appreciate your kind words, and I was especially glad to introduce the simple beauty of Zen to your family, who already has such deep knowledge of it. I was also happy to meet the vegetarian needs, and the Kyoto specialty Kujo-negi udon turned out to be a perfect choice. We were also blessed with so many happy coincidences—the sunshine after the rain, the moss in the gardens looking especially vivid, your stay at the hotel where I had worked for 16 years, and even finding a taxi big enough for all five of us. Most of all, your family’s beautiful smiles made the day unforgettable. Meeting you felt like a gift, and I am deeply grateful for this encounter—it reminded me why I love being a guide. I would be delighted to welcome you again anytime, and I hope we can share more memorable moments while enjoying Japan’s beautiful scenery. Thank you for choosing Japan for your family’s precious summer vacation and for letting me be part of it!
