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.
