I am Host
Hey there, I'm Alex, your friendly local host here in Kyoto! What I adore most about Kyoto is its diversity. It's a city where nature and tradition embrace, where you can have a blast and create unforgettable memories. Navigating Kyoto is a breeze; everything's just a hop and a skip away. From the historic gems in Kamigyo-ku to the serene beauty of Sakyo-ku and the vibrant heart of Nakagyo-ku, I've explored every nook and cranny. My passion is diving into Japanese culture trying to understand what makes Kyoto's people so enchanting. I'm your go-to person for all things izakaya, sake, and unique local shops. So, whether you're a history buff, a culture enthusiast, a foodie, or looking for the best Instagram spots, I've got you covered. Let's embark on an exciting journey through Kyoto, where tradition meets modernity, and every corner has a story.
Try to visit some of the lesser known sites. Beautiful and less crowded. Appreciated the knowledge of Alex of Japan and Kyoto. We had a great time.

Alex is a smart, knowledgeable and engaging guide. He customized our 5 hr morning tour to cover our interests. Then went above and beyond by escorting us to our next destination, even showing us where to get a taxi when we finished our day to return to our hotel.
