Hi, my name is Jose, I came to Japan from Spain more than 10 years ago, first, it was Hiroshima that I called home, but now it is Kyoto. I'm quite an extrovert and love meeting new people, talking, making friends, and always discovering new places and things I hadn't realized or known. I enjoy life as it comes, think it is short so the more I do out of it the better. Let me take you through Kyoto's streets and corners, from the torii path of Fushimi Inari Taisha to the Kinkakuji Golden Pavillion. From the bamboo forest of Arashiyama to the great Kiyomizu Dera temple. We will walk through downtown Kyoto and the Nishiki market, experiencing Japanese street food just before crossing the river and getting into Gion. Or you could just prefer eating at one of the thousands of restaurants, then spending the evening shopping at the arcade or Shijo street. Kyoto is a like gem that has been preserved in time, it is a must-see for any visitor to Japan and I will be more than glad to help you get the best experience ever, and share mine with you. I love Japan, the place I call home and I'd like to share my knowledge about it with everyone.
