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!

“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.

“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.

“The really best memorable day we could wish.”
Yuta was the best guide and entertainer for this task which we could have wished for. He is a german speaking Guide with a remarkable pronounciation in this strange language for japanese people. We spend two other days with him, in Kyoto and Nara, all in the same perfect guidance.

Thank you so much, Rainer! It was truly a pleasure spending those two days with you. We were really on the same wavelength, so I had a blast no matter where we went. I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed Japan so much. Auf Wiedersehen:)
