VIDEO CALL Ai

Hey there! I'm Ai, your friendly neighborhood host here in enchanting Kyoto! One of my absolute joys is exploring Kyoto's hidden gems, from cozy cafes tucked away in Gion to serene temples nestled amidst the bamboo forests. And let's not forget about the rivers! There's something magical about the Kamogawa and Uji rivers. You'll often find me at the local cinema, indulging in the intimate atmosphere and passion for film that sets Kyoto apart. I've dived deep into the city's art, music, and fine-tasting scene, making connections along the way. Fun fact about me, I'm a bit of a sword fighter. It's true! So, whether you're craving a soulful temple experience or a cinematic adventure, count on me to take you through the wonders of Kyoto. Let's create memories as vibrant and beautiful as the city itself!

My reviews

    Ai was a delight! She arrived early and her enthusiasm made us even more thrilled about the morning ahead. She was flexible as well as fun. She has deep knowledge of Kyoto.

    We toured in 7 hours full Kyoto, she is very knowledgeable about the city, she is so kind with the kids and helped us alot , really we couldn’t have done all those attractions without her, she even managed to get a taxi for full day with much less than day rates and that is definitely a bonus when having such a guide. Thanks alot Ai for this memorable day in Kyoto, it was really amazing
