Hi there, I'm Hanako, your friendly local host in Kyoto! My curiosity drives me to constantly explore and learn more about this incredible city. What I love most about Kyoto is that it embodies Japanese culture in its truest form. It's a city that effortlessly embraces tradition while embracing new experiences. Exploring the city by bike is my passion, as it allows me to discover new cafes, restaurants, and shops that Kyoto is so great at bringing in. I also find peace in nature, whether it's wandering through temple gardens or hiking in the mountains. Being a resident of Kyoto, I know the city like the back of my hand. Let me be your guide to the wonders of Kyoto, sharing its rich history, vibrant culture, and mouthwatering culinary scene. Looking forward to meeting you!

    Hanna is a wonderful guide and we really enjoyed our city tour in Kyoto with her. She explained each and every relevant thing to us and created the whole itinerary as per our need and pace. My Son enjoyed having local lunch with her. Thanks to her for our memorable Kyoto City tour.

    Our family had a really great time in Kyoto with Hanna as our guide. She put together a custom itinerary for us and was flexible with our family when we needed to change up some of what we were doing (we had young teenagers and grandparents in their late 70’s). Highly recommend visiting Kyoto when you’re in Japan.
