Hi there! I'm Justin, a local host in Kyoto, one of the most beautiful cities in Japan. I love Kyoto's perfect balance of tradition and modernity and the relaxed pace of life that makes you feel like you can breathe again. When I'm not exploring the city's hidden gems, I love to sit at a cozy cafe by the river and enjoy a good book or take a leisurely walk down the bustling shopping district. My expertise is in finding all the best places for good food, drinks, and photo opportunities in Kiyamachi, Kawaramachi, Ninenzaka, and Gion. If you're looking for an authentic, laid-back experience in Kyoto, I'm your guy! Let's have some fun discovering this beautiful city together.

My reviews
-
Justin was a great tour guide showing us all the local highlights and hidden treasures - and great food recommendations too.

Justin was such a fun tour guide. My partner is a bit shy but he pulled him right out of that and had him drinking and doing activities that were specifically tailored to his interests in no time. The food was amazing. It introduced me to melonpan, which is officially my favourite food ever. We were left so full and happy. The most perfect introduction to Kyoto. Justin also gave us tips for where we could eat when we stopped back in. I would recommend this experience (and Justin) to everyone!
