Hi, I’m Kaz, a tour guide from Kyoto. I was born and raised here, studied in Osaka, and became fluent in English after studying abroad in Canada. Living in Canada taught me how fun and meaningful it is to discover different cultures and ways of thinking.
Kyoto is my hometown, and of course it’s beautiful—but I think it becomes even more special when we notice the differences between cultures. Seeing things from different perspectives always makes me feel amazed and curious again.
On my tours, I love sharing not just Kyoto’s famous spots, but also local stories, daily life, and the unique mindset of Japanese people. I really enjoy talking and learning from my guests too. Let’s explore Kyoto together and find the beauty in our differences!
Depends on other schedule, I can be more flexible. I can be more flexible if can know the schedule before.
All tours can be customized for you. Send me a message with your requests!

“Relaxing walk in kyoto”
Chau and I enjoyed our day with Kaz. We were able to see the local area touring an old school, then shopped through Nishiki market, trying out the many foods and drinks. Strolled the streets and visited kiyomizu. Would highly recommend Kaz for your next tour guide!!

Thank you so much, John and Chau! I had such a wonderful day with both of you — exploring the old school, tasting all the local foods at Nishiki Market, enjoying a little sake, strolling the rolling streets, and of course eating takoyaki! It was such a fun and relaxed day. I really enjoyed your curiosity and great sense of humor. I wish I could have had time for dinner with you! Hope to see you again for another Kyoto adventure!

“Kazue is outstanding!!!”
Kazue planned our itinerary according to our wishes and executed the plan perfectly. She was punctual, friendly, knowledgeable and overall the perfect guide. I will be using her again when we come back and will recommend her to all of my friends!

“Nice walk around Kyoto”
A wonderful experience. Kaiseu guided around beautiful temples and shrines. She showed us hidden spots. She was really attentive to our needs and adapted the visit to our needs. Very nice food recommendations explaining the tradition behind it. Arigato!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a pleasure spending the day together, even on such a hot day. I truly enjoyed our conversations and had a wonderful time with you all. Talking with your children was also so much fun — you are such a lovely family, and I feel grateful to have shared that special day with you. I also really enjoyed hearing about Spain, and I wish we had more time to talk about it! Thank you again for everything. I hope we can meet again someday when you return to Kyoto, or maybe in Spain. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan!
