Hello! I'm Harun, your jovial and insightful host in the enchanting city of Kyoto. To me, Kyoto is a mesmerizing blend of old and new Japan, a place where every street, temple, and season tells a different story. As an amateur photographer, I find joy in capturing the city's soul, whether it's a bustling ramen shop in Gion or the serene beauty of Arashiyama. I spend my days exploring every nook of the city, from bustling Kawaramachi to tranquil Higashiyama, and I'm always eager to share my discoveries. With a deep love for food, I've got the inside scoop on everything from cozy traditional eateries to fine dining gems – all delicious, of course! Join me for an adventure in Kyoto, and I'll show you the city through my eyes – a place of endless discovery and charm. Let's explore the heart and soul of Kyoto together!
The tour was great! Harun was our guide and it was like discovering Kyoto with a friend! We visited all the sites we wanted to see and Harun also included some interesting points to give us a complete idea of these areas. He also gave us super useful information to visit additional temples, restaurants & key spots in the city. Harun helped us to be part of Kyoto!
