About Tour Guide Ryuichiro M.
I am Ryuichiro, a 27-year-old who was born in Tokyo.
For the past 12 years, I've been living in Kyoto, having moved there after high school.
My university years saw me studying abroad at National University of Singapore, enriching my perspective of the world. I've served as a guide throughout my college years, volunteering for four years and assisting over 30 groups of tourists.
My extensive overseas experiences enable me to empathize with travelers, helping to alleviate their concerns and ensuring they create delightful memories.
I hope to have the opportunity to assist you on your journey.
See you soon.

"Discover Kyoto's Hidden Treasures Ⅰ: Let’s explore the traditional culture untouched by tourism"
In this tour, I'll take you on a journey to experience the ancient culture deeply rooted in Kyoto, which only locals can truly appreciate, in my car. Kyoto is a basin surrounded by mountains over 900 meters high in three directions. For most of its 1200-year history, it has thrived on this flat basin. However, once you step into the mountains surrounding the area, you'll discover a world that can only be experienced with my tour.

One day bike tour to southern part of Kyoto, Uji and Fushimi
In this tour, we can visit all the must-see places in the southern part of Kyoto together. Fushimi, known for the Fushimi Inari Shrine with its thousand torii gates and sake breweries, and Uji, famous for its matcha and the Phoenix Hall, each hold a unique position in Kyoto. During this tour, I, who have lived in Uji for three years and now work in Fushimi, will share the charm of these two towns from a local's perspective, as we explore by bicycle.

“Bike trip through Kyoto!”
Our trip in Kyoto was excellent, and one of those days was thanks to our guide Mine! He took us on an excellent bike adventure through parts of Kyoto; the experience was exciting and different from anything we would have done on our own. He is patient, kind, and trustworthy, always looked out for our enjoyment. Arigato Gozaismasu!

“Magical trip to the mountain ”
I highly recommend this tour and Ryuichiro as a guide. He guided me through a serene day in the mountain that was the best of the 10 days I was in Japan. He is accommodating, thoughtful, knowledgeable and kind. His love for nature really showed me how peaceful Japan is. It is a beautiful country defined by its natural beauty that transcends chaos.
Ryuichiro M.
Dear Ying-ya san, Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m truly honored to hear that our day together in the mountains was the highlight of your trip to Japan. It means a great deal to me. If you ever return to Japan, I would be delighted to guide you again. Wishing you all the best until then! Ryuichiro Mine

A Local Friend in Kansai — Meet Atif Hey there! I’m Atif, a travel lover who’s been calling Osaka home for the past few years. What started as a curious adventure quickly turned into a deep love for this region — the food, the people, and all the little hidden corners that make Kansai so special. Now, I spend my days sharing those discoveries with travelers who want to see the real Japan — not just the postcard version. What I Offer Fun & Flexible Tours: No boring scripts here! I plan each tour around you — whether you love taking photos, tasting street food, exploring quiet temples, or getting lost in neon-lit backstreets. Local Secrets: After years of wandering Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Kobe, I’ve found the best hidden gems — from tiny noodle shops to peaceful gardens and back-alley shrines. Laughs & Memories: My tours aren’t just about facts — they’re about fun. Expect stories, local legends, and maybe even a karaoke challenge (if you’re brave enough)! Why Travel with Me Because travel should feel like exploring with a local friend, not following a flag in a crowd. I love good food, spontaneous detours, and showing people the Kansai that most tourists miss. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, I’ll make sure you experience something new — and unforgettable. Let’s Start the Adventure! Ready to explore Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, or Kobe? Let’s laugh, learn, eat, and wander together — Kansai style!
