Hi, I’m Nisa
Hi, I’m Nisa
I’ve lived in Kyoto for 3 years
I speak English and some Japanese, German
I am 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

My reviews

We did a three-hour tour with Nisa on our recent visit to Kyoto. It was a great experience. We gave her a general idea of what we wanted to see, and she designed an excellent tour that fit our interests perfectly. Nisa was very knowledgeable, personable, and adaptable to our requests. She showed us some really lovely places that we wouldn't have found on our own and how to be respectful of our surroundings, such as when it was appropriate to take photographs and how to pray at the temples. My teen son said the tour was one of the highlights of our trip -- and that's saying something! I highly recommend Nisa and would not hesitate to book her for another tour.

Annisa was a knowledgeable and welcoming host to show us the sites in Kyoto. She was flexible in adjusting the plan for what sites to see based on our interests and did a great job suggesting places along our route. She also shared some local spots with us and did a great job overall. Highly recommend working with her if you’re visiting!
