“Positive Review for Robert K. for Kyoto Private Tour”
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Robert. Thanks to his Japanese studies, he had far more knowledge than other local guides we booked on our trip to Japan. The tour offered a great mix of experiences, often taking us off the beaten path (a quiet Japanese garden, small temples, markets, and specialized shops selling things like fans). It was excellent, stress-free, and provided great insights into the country and its people! Note: For tourist hotspots like Kyoto Castle, the Imperial Palace, and the Thousand Gates, you should definitely plan a separate day in Kyoto. However, it's manageable, as there are plenty of signs with explanations.

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.

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
