Hi, I’m Pam

(21)

I’ve lived in Kyoto for 7 years

I speak English, Japanese

I am a Graphic Designer

I'm Pam, a Kyoto local who loves the way history and modern life intertwine in this city. Every street feels like a story waiting to be uncovered! I enjoy exploring Kyoto’s vibrant art scene, attending exhibitions, and discovering hidden cafés that offer both delicious treats and a glimpse into local life. Living near Ginkaku-ji, I'm deeply involved in the community, even helping design posters for a local shrine. Whether we're wandering through Gion’s historic streets or admiring intricate temple details, I bring a creative perspective to every tour. Let’s explore Kyoto’s beauty together!

My reviews

    Pam was so incredible! She was perfect in every way. We saw everything we wanted and she taught us so much about Japan. We felt special with her personalized service and customized tour. She genuinely cared about us and whether we were having a good time. We plan to stay in touch with her even after we leave Japan as friends because we had so much fun!

    Pam was a wonderful guide, so personable and engaging. We could tell that she loves meeting new people and sharing Kyoto with them. We loved the visit to Gion and insight into Geisha culture.

    She offered to buy me ice cream, ans at the end gave me a gift. And more tips for my other days on planning.
