Michiko N.
Hello, and thank you for visiting my page! I’m Michiko, a local guide who was born and raised in Kyoto. I love meeting people from around the world, sharing the spirit of Japanese hospitality, and creating fun experiences together! I once went to the UK to watch and learn musicals, and more recently, I spent a year living in Thailand. These experiences deepened my love for art, culture, and people. Besides guiding, I also work in theater and performance art, creating unique performances in shop windows. One of the reasons I started working as a guide was to help fund my artistic projects. Let’s explore Kyoto together and discover its heart — the beauty, the people, and the stories that make it special. With BIG LOVE! Michiko
