I am a Tour Guide
I have been hosting experiences and tours in Kyoto for many years in different languages (English, French, Spanish). I lived in more than 11 countries (among them: Australia, France, Cambodia, Peru, ..) and I love to meet people from all over the world and have meaningful exchanges. Kyoto is a city with an immense cultural heritage, with more than 1500 temples & 500 shrines, and I am ready to help you discover all the gems of this beautiful city I have the privilege to call home.

Kokoro designed an itinerary that was the perfect mix of key sites and hidden gems. We would have never seen so much on our own. He made the experience engaging and fun for our family. We had a wonderful time. Thank you, Kokoro!
