About Tour Guide Gulay G.
Konnichiwa!
I am Gulay, I have been working as a professional guide since 2008, and have received my training at the Department of Tourism Guidance for 4 years. I moved to Spain for one year (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) and worked as a volunteer and mentor in EVS organizations (European Voluntary Service) But then my interest in Japanese culture led me to my current carrier in Kyoto for 3 years. Guiding is my passion, I believe guiding for guests that you never met before from totally different countries is great chance to know people better to improve your skills. As your guide, I will be pleased to share my experience of guiding with you and will do my best to make your holiday a memorable one.
I am here to explain the local culture and traditions and give guests other local insights.

“An awesome fashion adventure”
We found Gulay after my wife and I discovered Shimokitazawa. Gulay knew all the best places to go. My wife love vintage fashion, and the district did not disappoint. Couldn't recommend Gulay more. She was awesome and we'd ask her to guide us again in a heartbeat.

“Walking tour of unusual sites”
Our guide was very accommodating and showed us places we wishes to see away from the big tourist must see locations. We got a feel of the local places and sites away from the crowds in the backstreets. Had a great time. Would recommend our guide to everyone
