Hello there! I'm Oulan, your friendly local host here in beautiful Kyoto. What I adore most about Kyoto is its captivating cityscape and the well-preserved architecture that tells stories of centuries past. And don't get me started on the countless temples and shrines, each with its unique serenity. You'll often find me on a quest to discover new Halal restaurants because great food brings people together. On weekends, I escape the bustling city life by hiking or tracking, and I know Kita-Shirakawa and Gion neighborhoods like the back of my hand. You could say I'm your go-to Kyoto guru when it comes to its rich history, culture, and religious settings. So, let's explore Kyoto's hidden treasures together and make your experience an unforgettable adventure.
