Hi, I’m Cici, your local host in Kyoto! With a deep appreciation for this city’s harmony of tradition and nature, I’m here to help you explore Kyoto’s cultural depth and its breathtaking charm. I love uncovering how Kyoto’s history, development, and culture intertwine with its stunning landscapes and sustainable environment. My favorite activities include hiking the famous Kyoto trails, discovering hidden temples and serene gardens, and capturing the city’s beauty through photography. From the enchanting streets of Gion to the bamboo groves of Arashiyama, every corner of Kyoto has a story to tell. Whether you’re looking to delve into Kyoto’s history or soak in its natural beauty, I’ll make sure your experience is both inspiring and unforgettable. Let’s discover the magic of Kyoto together!
Cici was friendly, well prepared and very knowledgeable. She took us to places we would not be able to get to on our own. We very much enjoyed our tour!

Cici was so knowledgeable about Gion. She catered our walking tour to meet our needs - and was very accommodating when we wanted to shop for gifts or sightsee outside the area. She was easy going and fun to tour with. Highly recommend! Ps. She didn’t ask us for a recommendation - which is why I felt compelled to leave one.

We really enjoyed our experience for the Gion tour. It was refreshing to receive emails about our preferences for our tour guide and things to help make our experience more enjoyable for our tour and our selected tour guide. Our tour guide Cici for friendly and informative. Cici understood the history and culture of Kyoto. My kids really enjoyed talking to Cici about everything related to Kyoto. Our whole family enjoyed our interactions and Gion walk with Cici. I would highly recommend this tour to others to try.
