About Tour Guide Yuta I.
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.

“Wunderbarer Tag”
Ich habe Yuta für eine Solo Tour bei meinem ersten Aufenthalt in Kyoto gebucht. Und es hat sich wirklich gelohnt. Yuta hat vorab schon ein paar Fragen zu meinen Wünschen und Vorlieben gestellt und daher die Tour individualisiert. Er spricht wirklich gut deutsch und ist eine sehr sympathische Person. Er hat immer wieder kleine, hilfreiche Informationen z.B. zum öffentlichen Nahverkehr einfließen lassen. Das hat mir sehr geholfen. Ich hatte daher einen wunderbaren und informativen Tag mit Yuta!

Hallo, Sabrina! Vielen Dank, dass du an meiner Tour teilgenommen hast. Dein Interesse an so vielen verschiedenen Themen hat die Tour unglaublich bereichert und viel Spaß gemacht! Ich wünsche dir weiterhin eine wunderbare Reise durch Japan!! Yuta
“Ein sch?ner Tag in Kyoto”
Yuta hat uns für einen Tag Kyoto nähergebracht. Die vorgeschlagene Tour war genau was wir gesucht haben. Er hat uns die berühmtesten Sehenswürdigkeiten gezeigt und sehr interessant über diese und das Leben in Japan berichtet. Yuta’s Deutschkenntnisse sind sehr gut und wir hatten viel Spaß miteinander. Da es ein sehr heißer Tag war, hat er sich super um unser persönliches Wohlergehen gekümmert. Wir können Yuta als Reiseführer gerne weiterempfehlen. Liebe Grüße und vielen Dank noch mal von Anja und Heidi.

I have worked in the multi-national organizations including UN agency for around 30 years and stationed at various cities including Rome, Bangkok and Hanoi. Although I have retired from those international carriers, I wish to keep the international cooperation and develop the friendship with people who visits our country. As I like history and am practicing Noh song and wood curving of Buddha images, I have decided to live in Nara where is surrounded by many historical places and traditional cultures, when I returned back to Japan in 2017. I wish to offer you custom made trip ideas to be able to enjoy the atmosphere of old city, Nara. I am also planning to develop trip plans to enjoy the local cultures. Please call me Yasu.

Hi! I had been working for Wakayama Prefectural Government for 38 years, mainly in the field of cultural heritage management and international relations. I am a national certificated English guide and I have a lot of knowledge and experience in the field of cultural heritage management and international relations. I am very good at cultural heritages. And Koyasan and Kumano in Wakayama Prefecture are inscribed in the World Heritage List as parts of “Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range". I was a project manager of "the Koyasan and Kumano World Heritage Inscription Project” at Wakayama Prefectural Government. I know inside and out of Koyasan, Kumano, Wakayama and other places in the Kansai area. I have a lot of experience of guiding as I was also in charge of international relations for a long time at the government. I will be able to provide interpretive guiding service for you around Koyasan, Wakayama, Osaka and other places in the Kansai area as I am a cultural heritage management and international relations professional. I am sure you will be able to get deeper understandings on Japanese culture and that your trip with me will be memorable one.
