Hi, I’m Masaya
I’ve lived in Kyoto for 1 years
I speak English, Japanese and some French
I am a Planning and Strategy Specialist
I am a middle-aged Japanese person who loves Kyoto and lives in Gion, Kyoto. I had lived in Tokyo for a long time and moved here because I love the culture and history of Kyoto. I particularly have good knowledge of Japanese sake and have visited many sake breweries in Fushimi, Kyoto. Having had the good experience of holding many times of sake tasting events with the chief brewer of the brewery. Let's enjoy Kyoto's best sake and Japanese cuisine at a hidden traditional townhouse in the backstreet Kyoto. Furthermore, not only visiting traditional shrines and gardens, but visitors could also shop for real antiques such as Japanese prints, crafts, and more at a reasonable price with my negotiation support. Enhance your Kyoto stay and do NOT waste time!!!

Masaya was amazing!!! We did an evening tour of Kyoto. It was the absolute perfect time to go. We ended with a dinner on Pontocho road. Masaya was extremely knowledgeable and patient with all our picture taking. We highly recommend this walking tour. Ask for Masaya!

We had a great guide- Masaya - who customized our tour to accommodate two families traveling with tweens and teens. He was very accommodating and flexible. Highlights included the monkey park, the bamboo forest, beautiful shrines and temples on the forest and mountains and a most special lunch he arranged. Excellent day in Kyoto
