Hello! I’m Mia, your Kyoto confidant, a local enthusiast passionate about the beauty of our four distinct seasons. Here in Kyoto, the bloom of cherry blossoms and the fiery hues of autumn leaves aren’t just a backdrop but a way of life that continually enchants me. As a keeper of Kyoto’s secrets, I revel in guiding friends along the serene Kamogawa River, sharing moments and laughter near Kawaramachi—our cultural heartbeat. My zest for discovery leads me beyond the well-trodden paths to the soul of Kyoto, where every alley whispers stories, and every stone is steeped in history. I pride myself on my insider knowledge, always ready to equip travelers with savvy tips, from navigating the quaint lanes to uncovering the city’s hidden treasures. Get ready to explore the lesser-known wonders! I can't wait to meet you!

Had a wonderful time walking around the Kyoto sights with our friendly guide Mia, and learning about the history of the places in the process! We got to visit some very pretty famous places like Kiyomizu-dera, with small detours to lesser-known spots in between. Everything went smoothly from booking to organising and meeting, would recommend!

We had a truly awesome tour with our guide, Mia. She was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to shape the tour to our requirements. Absolutely excellent. Our only criticism that we didn’t receive the promised two drinks which we had forgotten were included.

Mia made us feel very comfortable and was very knowledgeable about the area, culture and kept everything at a good pace. Helped us navigate through the train station where we did need help in that process.
