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!

Mia made our sightseeing tour so much more than photo opportunities. To have the opportunity to be guided with history and background to the areas was exceptional! Accommodating and took into consideration sights and activities that would suit our family of 6.

Make sure you book your tour with Mia. She is super friendly, knowledgable and patient with families who need a lot of bathroom breaks and snacks!

Mia customized the tour based upon our interests. She communicated in advance and identified an easy to find meet-up location. she helped us understand much more about the history and significance of the sights, the special foods of the area, and how to easily navigate the city's bus system to go between a couple of the sights that were too far to walk between. Mia was very personable and made it an outstanding experience. We would not have made it too all the sights in one day and would not have learned and experienced as much had we gone on our own.
