About Tour Guide Mana F.

Hello, my name is Mana. I am a National Licensed Tour Guide in English. I was born and raised in Kyoto. I worked for the Kyoto Prefectural Police Headquarters after I graduated from university.

I know lots about Kyoto's cultures and festivals . After I got married, I have been in Shiga for over 30 years. I work for at high school as a part time teacher. I am flexible in Kyoto and Shiga. I am practicing ”Rakugo”a traditional Japanese comedic storytelling art, to make my tours more enjoyable and filled with laughter. Let’s laugh together during my tours!The fun, hand-drawn illustrations I use on my tours are also very popular—most of my guests take photos of them.

A passionate and attentive guide going over our expectation

Mana-san showed us much more than we expected over a 6-hour tour! She shared with us historical facts, childhood memories of a local and lots of quirky jokes to keep the trip engaging. Moreover, she was attentive and always gave the best and most cost-saving advises for souvenirs. Highly recommended!

Dear Mia, Thank you so much for sending such a lovely review. You were actually my first guests from your country, and since you’re about the same age as my sons—small in stature and very charming—our conversation felt especially fresh and delightful. I hope you’ll continue to share not only traditional culture but also Japanese subculture with the world. Mana
