Hi, I’m Kenta, your local host in Kyoto! I’m passionate about sharing the tranquil beauty and rich cultural history that make this city so special. What I love most about Kyoto is its balance of serene parks, flowing rivers, and stunning temples—perfect spots to slow down and truly connect with the spirit of Japan. I enjoy visiting temple gardens and discovering cozy places for coffee and tea, where tradition meets a modern sense of comfort. Whether you’re strolling through the charming Gion District, exploring the historic Higashiyama Area, or soaking in the natural beauty of Arashiyama, I’ll help you plan an itinerary that captures the best of Kyoto’s diverse offerings. With an eye for detail and a knack for logistics, I’m here to make sure your visit is both seamless and memorable. Let’s create an unforgettable Kyoto experience together!

We had a private tour of 6 for our tour. Our guide Kenta was extremely knowledgable about the area and the history. He customized our itinerary based of mf of my wants. He got us to every place we wanted to go! He went above and beyond for us! We would do this again!

Kenta was an amazing host! He was very knowledgeable about the area and the history. We wanted a lot of things jammed in and he got us to all of the places! He even dropped us off in front of the Gion theater that I had reservations to. We truly enjoyed this experience!
