About Tour Guide Yuta I.
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!

“Osaka, ein Erlebnis”
Yuta begleitete uns jetzt nach zwei Tagen in Kyoto und der genüsslichen Abendtour in Osaka nun den zweiten Tag in Osaka und wir freuten uns schon sehr darauf mit ihm wieder einen tollen Tag zu erleben. Dieser Tag in Osaka mit Yuta war ein großes Erlebnis für uns und wir sagen noch einmal „Danke“ für diese schöne Zeit die uns immer in Erinnerung bleiben wird.

Ich freue mich sehr, dass euch die Tage in Kyoto und Osaka so gut in Erinnerung bleiben. Besonders schön war es für mich zu sehen, wie sehr ihr euch über die Takoyaki gefreut habt, das Soulfood aus Osaka, der Heimatstadt meiner Mutter!!

“Genussreiche Abendtour”
Ein großes Dankeschön unserem Guide Yuta für diese genussreiche Abendtour in Osaka. Die Auswahl der Speisen die Yuta für uns traf hätte nicht besser sein können. Die damit verbundene Abendtour durch das kulinarische Osaka war ein besonderer Höhepunkt unserer Japanreise.
