About Tour Guide Robert K.

Hello from the enchanting Kyoto!


My name is Robert, I studied Japanology at University and live in Kyoto. I offer professional tours in Nara and Kyoto. Let's visit the beautiful temples, Zen gardens and shrines together, combined with the culinary experiences that these cities have to offer. You will learn a lot about the history and culture of this beautiful country. It is very important to me that my guests experience a relaxing time without any hustle and bustle, that they can enjoy the beauty in peace, and that they find a moment of tranquillity far away from their hectic everyday lives.


If I have piqued your interest, please feel free to contact me. We can discuss the tour itinerary together; I will tailor it entirely to your personal wishes.


Thank you for taking the time to read my advertisement. I look forward to hearing from you.


Best regards from Kyoto,


Robert

“An Interesting and Informative Guided Tour”

We had a very interesting and informative guided tour. Our guide showed us both Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines, explaining their traditions and differences in detail. We also visited a local market, explored the historic old town, and walked through the beautiful geisha districts. We particularly enjoyed his detailed explanations about the lives, training, and traditions of geishas. What we especially appreciated was that our guide kept his promise and did not strictly watch the clock. He took his time, answered our questions thoroughly, and made sure we could enjoy the tour without feeling rushed. Overall, it was a very informative and enjoyable experience. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in Japanese culture and history!

Thank you so so very much for the wonderful words. I am so extremely happy that you had a wonderful and relaxed time without feeling any pressure. I hope so much to be your tourguide again in the future!

“Kyoto with context”

My daughter and I spent a day with Robert in Kyoto. It was her first trip to Japan and my second, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of the whole journey. Robert showed us places we would never have visited on our own, and without his explanations we would have missed much of what we saw. He brought Kyoto to life, and we saw the city with different eyes for the rest of our stay. What sets Robert apart is the depth of his knowledge combined with a relaxed, personal style. He adapted to our level, answered every question patiently. He also generously took more time than planned. It was a wonderfully relaxed day, full of content yet completely unhurried. If you want to understand Kyoto rather than just photograph it, book Robert. Highly recommended!

Hello Stefan, I would like to thank you very much for your positive review. I am really so delighted that you had such a wonderful time. I very much hope that we might be able to meet again one day. Thank you once again for letting me be your tour guide!

“Bearbeiten Mit Robert entdeckt man Kyoto authentisch und abseits der Touristenpfade”

Robert ist der einzige deutschsprachige Guide in Kyoto und verfügt über ein beeindruckendes und umfassendes Wissen – nicht nur über die japanische Kultur, Geschichte und Etikette, sondern auch über Gesellschaft und Politik. Wir sind sehr froh, ihn aufgrund einer Empfehlung gebucht zu haben. Gemeinsam verbrachten wir einen abwechslungsreichen und informativen Tag, an dem Robert uns neben den bekannten Sehenswürdigkeiten auch zahlreiche Geheimtipps zeigte – darunter besondere Geschäfte und Orte, die von Touristen kaum besucht werden. Eine klare Empfehlung für alle, die Kyoto intensiver und abseits der üblichen Touristenpfade kennenlernen möchten!
