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.
Alex was absolutely amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable and made our trip unforgettable! Couldn’t recommend her more.

Alex was an amazing tour guide and knows everything about Kyoto and Japan. Super informative and gave us tips and recommendations for the rest of our trip. Took us to the bamboo forest, the temple and shrine. Highly recommend for first time visitors, especially in the beginning of your trip.
