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!

Comfortable Kyoto Van Tour (4–7 Guests): See All the Must-Sees, Hassle-Free

Kyoto is beautiful, but walking long distances and moving between sights can be tiring. This tour makes it easy. Ride in a van taxi. While crowds can’t always be avoided, you’ll save time and energy between stops. Visit famous spots like Fushimi Inari, Golden Temple, and Bamboo Forests with your guide！

“Best of Kyoto with Yuta”

Yuta was an amazing guide! He picked us up at our hotel and was so personable and friendly. He asked us what we were most interested in seeing and arranged the tour according to our top choices. During our tour it briefly rained and Yuta magically had umbrellas for us!! He took great pictures of our family and engaged with our kids who also greatly enjoyed the tour. 6 hours flew by!! Pick Yuta to show you Kyoto - he’s the BEST!

Yuta I.

Thank you so much for such a kind review! I’m really happy to hear that you and your family had a great time exploring Kyoto with me. I also really enjoyed chatting with your kids they made the day even more fun. Time definitely flew by for me too. I hope you have wonderful memories of your trip, and I’d love to show you around again if you ever come back to Japan!

“Super Tag. ”

Wir hatten einen tollen Tag in Kyto mit Nazumi. Sie hat uns neben den touristischen Highlights auch viel vom Leben in Japan erzählt. Wir hatten auch viel zum Lachen. Wir können sie sehr empfehlen und würden jederzeit wieder eine Tour mit ihr machen. André und Manuela

Yuta I.

Vielen Dank für die tolle Bewertung! Es freut mich sehr zu hören, dass ihr so einen schönen Tag in Kyoto hattet. Ich werde eure lieben Worte auf jeden Fall an Natsumi weitergeben. Sie wird sich sicher riesig freuen, dass euch die Geschichten über das Leben in Japan und das gemeinsame Lachen so gut gefallen haben. Nochmals herzlichen Dank für eure Buchung! Wir würden uns freuen, euch jederzeit wieder bei einer Tour begrüßen zu dürfen.
