Hey there, I'm Kento – your friendly local host in Kyoto! What I love most about this city is the food scene. From street-side delights to upscale treats, I can guide you to the best of it all. Driving around Kyoto city is a passion of mine. There's something magical about the panoramic views. Hiroshima is my hometown, so I'm quite familiar with its wonders as well as the charming Setouchi region. When it comes to daily life in Kyoto, I'm your go-to. I can show you the true essence of local living. Whether it's exploring a Japanese supermarket, or stumbling upon a hidden gem in a small gallery, I've got you covered. Of course, we can't miss the serene Japanese-style parks, public baths, and scenic nature spots. I can't wait to show you the wonders of this beautiful city and the warm embrace of Kyoto's culture and hospitality. See you soon!

My reviews

    Kento was kind, courteous, and off the beaten path. We are grateful.

    David S

    Kento was an excellent guide. He answered all our questions, and we learned so much about the temples and sights we visited and about Japanese history, culture, and religion. This is what we wanted from our day in Kyoto.

    He appreciates in detail what you do like and took us to places not regularly visited by tourist, including tasting exceptional cuisine that local people loves.

    Edgar G

    He imparted so much knowledge about the temples and their history as well as anecdotes of interest about the temples we visited. He was kind and fun to be with.
