Konnichiwa! I'm Lucy, your go-to Kyoto enthusiast with a knack for uncovering the city's hidden gems. My heart belongs to the vibrant pulse of street markets and the silent stories etched in our temples and palaces. I'm always on a quest to map out quirky cafes and secret spots that I stumble upon in the winding streets of Gion or the historic corners of Kinkakuji. My friends know me as the 'fun-fact' buddy, thanks to a quirky art class I took, making me a treasure trove of Kyoto's rich tapestry of art and history. Let's grab a bite in an unexpected nook and belt out tunes at karaoke! Ready to explore Kyoto's less-traveled paths and taste its hidden flavors? Follow me!

My reviews

    Our guide was Lucy, it turned out that she is actually a New Yorker who has been studying in Kyoto since 18 months. Actually it turned out be great - not only as the communication was easy - but also she were able to provide us an unique perspective. She tailor made the tour as we requested, even during the day we were able to adjust and modify (we went mostly to places which had less tourist). Thanks Lucy for sharing your personal experience and observations on Japan.
