Hi, I’m Ikuko, and I’d love to show you around Kyoto! What I love most about this beautiful city is how it blends traditional architecture with nature. The Kamo River is one of my favorite spots to relax, and I always enjoy biking through the city, discovering new restaurants and cafes along the way. Kyoto is also full of incredible art museums and galleries, which I love exploring. I know the neighborhoods around Okazaki Park, Kyoto Imperial Palace, and Gion very well, and I have a deep understanding of Kibune Shrine and Kurama Temple. Having worked at the Museum of Traditional Crafts, I’m also excited to share Kyoto’s rich craft heritage with you!
