Hi, I’m Yoriko/Riko
Hi, I’m Yoriko/Riko
I’ve lived in Kyoto for 33 years
I speak English, Japanese
I am Tour Guide
I was born and raised in Kyoto, but have lived in the UK and the US for over 22 years since college. Although my time abroad has been very rewarding, I have been impressed once again by Kyoto's rich history and the beauty of Japan as seen from the outside. I hope to share some of the beauty of Japan with you.
