VIDEO CALL Aloha

Hi, I’m Aloha, your local host in Kyoto! What I love most about this city is how it blends the energy of a vibrant student population with the beauty of traditional Japanese architecture and art. As an art student, I find inspiration everywhere, from the old temples to the latest contemporary galleries. I’m also an avid reader, and one of my favorite things to do is explore Kyoto's hidden used bookstores in search of unique finds. I know the Okazaki and Gion neighborhoods really well, and if you're interested in discovering Kyoto's rich arts and culture scene—or just want to enjoy some local restaurants and cozy bookshops—I’d be happy to show you around!
