Greetings, I'm Jose David, your friendly local host in Kyoto. I'm deeply fascinated by how this modern city effortlessly transforms into a time capsule, preserving its rich heritage spanning over 400 years. One of my favorite pastimes is gathering with friends for delightful dinners and spending time by the tranquil Kamogawa River, that has the best backdrop of this charming city. Navigating the neighborhoods of Kyoto is like second nature to me. Whether it's the hidden gems tucked away in Gion's narrow alleys or the modern vibrancy of Pontocho, I've got you covered. From iconic landmarks like Kinkakuji and Fushimi Inari to lesser-known cultural treasures, I consider myself a Kyoto expert, well-versed in the city's every facet. It would be my pleasure to guide you through the serene temples, bustling markets, and serene gardens that define Kyoto's essence. Join me in discovering the heart and soul of Kyoto. I look forward to making your visit to Kyoto truly unforgettable.

    Clear descriptions of the area of Kyoto it's temples, customs, history. Jose was a very engaging guide with lots of discussion and not just on the "script" of the city.
