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!
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.

Mia speaks English very well and she was easy to communicate with throughout our tour. She was very accommodating and patient with our children, customizing the tour in advance to suit our needs. I highly recommend anybody visiting Kyoto to book a tour with her to discover the beauty and wonder of this special place!
