I am a Student
Hello, I am Nisa. I am a PhD student at Kyoto University, majoring in Education. While living in Kyoto, I have had various experiences working as an English teacher and English-speaking tour guide. I've deeply admired Kyoto due to its tranquil ambiance, cleanliness, and rich historical sites. Previously, I studied Landscape Architecture, so I know well about Japanese Zen gardens and temples. During my free time, I delight in exploring Kyoto's hidden gems, ranging from unique temples to cozy coffee shops. I love playing board games and Nintendo as well as traveling (I've been to 35 countries!). I am looking forward to showing you around this magical city called Kyoto! Let's embark on a memorable journey in this enchanting city together

Miss was a very knowledgeable guide who listened to our requests. She showed us wonderful sights and took us for lunch that catered to my dietary requirements.

We had an amazing time in Kyoto with Nisa. We told her we wanted to see some temples off the beaten path and she sure did deliver. We visited a temple where we were the only people besides the monks and were able to hear them chanting in a private ceremony. It was so special to be a part of that.
