Hey there! I'm Austen, your local host in Kyoto. This city is a beautiful blend of modernity and history, allowing you to seamlessly experience different lifestyles. I absolutely love exploring Kyoto on my bicycle, uncovering hidden gems along the way. My friends and I often go on "temple hunting" adventures, relishing the serene atmosphere and fascinating histories of the shrines, especially at night. Between Ichijoji and Tofukuji, Imadegawa, Nijo, and Downtown neighborhoods, I know Kyoto like the back of my hand. From popular spots to hidden treasures, my deep appreciation for the city ensures you get a unique and authentic experience. Join me in Kyoto, and let's create wonderful memories together as we immerse ourselves in the city's rich culture and soothing ambiance. I can't wait to meet you!
Thank you very much Austen for such a memorable day in Kyoto. The landmarks experienced today through the history and cultural insights you shared provided for an amazing tour.

Austin do an incredible job with our family. We had seen a few things so he was totally flexible and just took us to places that he thought would interest us. We all had a lot of options so he was a champ to put up with us. He had a great knowledge of the history and culture which really gave us good perspective and insights on what we were seeing. Thanks Austin.
