Hi, I’m Yasmin! Kyoto is a city that never stops inspiring me—from its peaceful nature escapes to its deep cultural traditions. I love hiking in the mountains around Kyoto and Osaka, with Atago and Iwawaki being some of my favorites. When I’m not exploring the trails, you’ll find me wandering through Kyoto’s vibrant markets or joining temple festivals like Setsubun and Hatsu Uma Daikondai. I know Higashiyama, Fushimi Inari, Ginkakuji, and Nanzenji like the back of my hand, and I love sharing their hidden corners with visitors. After a day of exploring, there’s nothing better than unwinding by the Kamogawa River. Whether you’re looking for history, nature, or a bit of both, I’d love to show you Kyoto’s many sides!
