Hi everyone! My name is Yuta!
Thanks for checking out my profile.
I've been living in Kyoto for over 4 years, and I love exploring and sharing the city's amazing history and culture with people from all over the world. During university, I spent over a year traveling around Europe, which helped me become fluent in English and German.
I studied at the University of Leipzig in Germany and got great experience through an internship there. My wife is German, so I'm always in an international environment, learning about different cultures.
Besides guiding tours, I'm also a social media influencer with over 10,000 Instagram followers. I love sharing interesting content about Japanese and German life, connecting with people globally, and showing off the beauty of Kyoto.
I offer custom tours for individuals and groups, making sure each experience is unique and special. With my deep knowledge of Kyoto's historical sites and architecture, I'll make your visit to Japan's ancient capital fun and enlightening.
During our tour, I'll share cool historical insights and stories about the places we visit, helping you understand Japan's past and its connection to the present. I'm friendly and attentive, so I'll make sure you have a great time in Japan!
Feel free to message me if you have any questions about your trip to Japan!
Hope to see you soon on one of my tours.
All tours can be customized for you. Send me a message with your requests!

Hey Tyson!! Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed the tour. It was a fantastic day for me as well. I was especially happy to guide you following your relatives and to share my knowledge of anime and manga, which are some of my favorite topics. If you ever visit Japan again, please let me know. I’d love to guide you once more!

“Yuta is the man!”
We had an incredible experience touring Kyoto with Yuta. He was warm, friendly, and went out of his way to tailor the day to our interests. His deep knowledge of the city added so much depth to the experience, and beyond that, he was just genuinely fun to spend time with. It felt more like exploring with a friend than a tour guide. We strongly recommend Yuta to anyone looking to truly enjoy and understand Kyoto — you won’t be disappointed!

Thank you so much for your nice words Jeff! From the moment I met you in front of the cruise ship, it didn’t feel like we were meeting for the first time!! It was so much fun guiding such energetic people like you guys, and we managed to explore so many different places together! I’m really glad you enjoyed the tour, and I hope to see you again someday!! Safe travels!
