Hey there! I'm Bita, your friendly local host in Kyoto. I'm here to show you the hidden gems of this incredible city. What I love most about Kyoto is the cozy coffee shops tucked away from the busy city. You can find me on the peaceful Kamo riverbank when I'm not exploring these cozy spots. It's a diverse space where you can do anything from having a delightful picnic to practicing your saxophone! One of the things that captivate me in Kyoto is the Cherry blossoms in March and April; they are so beautiful. The list of Kyoto's natural wonders never ends, and I'm eager to share them with you. My favorite activity in Kyoto is cycling around the city, and nothing makes me happier than stumbling upon a new coffee shop that I can become obsessed with. I'm here to make your experience unforgettable. Let's embark on this exciting journey together!

My reviews

Bita is lovely. She will get in touch early to ensure best program is scheduled but also be flexible if you have any particular requirements. Our visit was smooth and we tried to stay « off the beaten path » as much as possible. Thanks Bita!

I had a fantastic day with my guide. She was a great communicator ahead of time, and we planned out a day that covered everything I wanted to see and do. She arrived promptly at my hotel, and the day went off without a hitch.

Bita is a great communicator. She sent multiple emails ahead of our tour, and I had high hopes for a good day. She exceeded all of my expectations. She arrived promptly at my hotel, and we set off for a great day of seeing everything I had asked to see. I enjoyed talking to her, and she is very knowledgeable about Kyoto. Thank you, Bita!

Excellent experience. Bita was a very nice and knowledgable guide. She could answer all my questions about Japanese traditions and culture. Would highly recommend taking a local guide to any mass tourism product. Yes, more expensive, but also you get way much more out of it!
