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.

Our guide Olan was so friendly and knowledgeable, there wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer! He helped us plan the day beforehand to make the most of the day and even told us the best way to travel to Kyoto from Osaka. Highly recommended.
