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

My reviews

    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.

    Nisa was amazing. She really listened to what we wanted to experience in the city and she delivered. We truly enjoyed spending the day with her.

    Nisa was excellent. She kindly met us at our hotel which made it easier for us not to have try and navigate the transport system given we had only arrived in Kyoto an hour earlier. The tour took us all through the geisha sub districts and Nisa was very knowledgeable about the history of the area as well. She also provided us with some great recommendations for good ramen, Udon noodles and good coffee. Thoroughly recommend this tour especially to orientate yourself in the Gion area.
