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!

Nara highlights with deer (from Kyoto)
Only in Nara, you can get the surreal experience of seeing over 1,000 deer roaming around Japan's ancient capital. There is no doubt that a tour to Nara where I show you the best sights will make good stories to tell your family and friends about your vacation! Also, during the tour I can take photos and videos of your fun memories and share them with you later (I have 10,000 followers on Instagram, so I am good at photos and movies).

“Osaka, ein Erlebnis”
Yuta begleitete uns jetzt nach zwei Tagen in Kyoto und der genüsslichen Abendtour in Osaka nun den zweiten Tag in Osaka und wir freuten uns schon sehr darauf mit ihm wieder einen tollen Tag zu erleben. Dieser Tag in Osaka mit Yuta war ein großes Erlebnis für uns und wir sagen noch einmal „Danke“ für diese schöne Zeit die uns immer in Erinnerung bleiben wird.

Ich freue mich sehr, dass euch die Tage in Kyoto und Osaka so gut in Erinnerung bleiben. Besonders schön war es für mich zu sehen, wie sehr ihr euch über die Takoyaki gefreut habt, das Soulfood aus Osaka, der Heimatstadt meiner Mutter!!

“Genussreiche Abendtour”
Ein großes Dankeschön unserem Guide Yuta für diese genussreiche Abendtour in Osaka. Die Auswahl der Speisen die Yuta für uns traf hätte nicht besser sein können. Die damit verbundene Abendtour durch das kulinarische Osaka war ein besonderer Höhepunkt unserer Japanreise.

KONNICHIWA!! I’m Niko! I’ve lived in Australia and worked at the Osaka Expo 2025. Through those experiences, I met people from all over the world — we hung out together, and I loved taking them to hidden local spots that tourists usually don’t find, like cozy cafés, local restaurants, and beautiful nature spots. I’m a very friendly person who loves learning new things. I enjoy not only sharing unique and lesser-known sides of Japan, but also hearing stories about your country and anything you’d like to talk about! I’m a big FOODIE! (Please go to my galleries!) Please let me make you try my favorite Japanese foods!! I also love taking a pictures and will always bring my camera with me, , so I can take beautiful photos of you during the tour — and you’ll get them on the spot as a little gift ! Providing warm hospitality to people is truly my joy. You won’t regret joining my tour — I promise! Can’t wait to meet you soon!

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.
